Pushing the Limits of Leadership During the Crisis
“I couldn’t recommend Dan’s “Leadership Through Crisis” roundtable strongly enough. Besides being incredibly topical and relevant as a way to address unprecedented fear and instability, it contained solid leadership fundamentals and an opportunity to introspectively examine your views in combination with other leaders. More importantly, Dan was able to bring together a diverse and impressive panel of participants, helping me consider decisions and outcomes from other perspectives.” -Alison M.
“Dan is a commanding presence and is highly respected not just amongst the people he has led in these different capacities but by the partners he has worked with in the business world for his attention to detail and to being someone who ‘gets the job done.”
-Alan W.

Let’s Make Things Happen
It’s time to take your leadership, career and relationships to the next level.
“In every role Dan brings a passion for success and empathy, always striving to find ways to maximize the potential of others. His leadership and coaching brought out the best of his staff. Dan has so much to offer from his experience in both public and private sectors which provides his credibility, but above all, his values, and his foundation allow him to offer guidance and mentorship in formal and informal settings. I look to him for guidance often.”
“When you think of servant leaders, Dan Simon should be the first person who comes to mind. His passion for people and relationships makes him an ideal professional leader and personal coach. His belief in family and the bond created among those with shared beliefs is one of his most powerful tools that he will imprint upon all those with whom he connects.”
“Dan Simon is a robust, energetic leader who goes the extra mile to insure that his job is completed. The mission is not only completed, it’s accomplished with aplomb. While reaching to his goal, Dan always remembers that he is working with and alongside people. He understands that, as a leader, his most valuable asset is the people working with him. Thanks to his caring attitude, the people working with him are encouraged to give their best and share in the accomplishment of the mission. It’s a pleasure to work with Dan – he is a strong leader.”
“Dan is a very well-informed leader of principle. I had the good fortune of supporting two cohorts of New Jersey principals with Dan through the equity-focused New Jersey Department of Education Principal Learning Network. I always found Dan to be deeply caring and responsive in coaching participants in the program. Because of his own extensive experience as an educational leader, he was well-attuned to the needs and day-to-day realities of principals. He thinks deeply about leadership and is able to bring his considerable knowledge and experience to his support of educators.”
“I have known Dan for a long time, and can say, without reservation, that he is an excellent school administrator. His passion is education, and his remarkable skill set enables him to lead students, teachers, and other administrators very effectively. Dan is one of the most natural educators I know, and I remember the time we worked together with great admiration and respect.
