facilitation
finding collaborative solutions and strategizing for success
As a facilitator, I make it easier for groups to envision different possibilities, work through difficult decisions, resolve conflicts, and develop strategies to address ongoing organizational issues. My work begins by understanding the needs, objectives, and concerns of all interested participants. As a skilled and impartial facilitator, I allow all participants to focus fully on the issues at hand, without worrying about running the meeting itself. This allows you to think critically and creatively about the potential opportunities you want to explore, new directions that might unfold, and the important considerations that will ensure you reach your goals. I am able to conduct virtual or hybrid meetings, and can also facilitate in-person meetings.
constructive conflict resolution
Constructive Conflict Resolution is designed for business partners and leaders who are confronted with stalled decision-making or who are facing unresolved issues that could jeopardize the future wellbeing of their organization.
Unlike mediation or costly legal avenues, Constructive Conflict Resolution offers a supportive, collaborative environment that helps stakeholders develop mutually beneficial solutions, while also rebuilding professional relationships.
By facilitating clear communication and fostering greater understanding between parties, Constructive Conflict Resolution helps organizations move forward effectively and confidently, avoiding the stress and negative consequences of prolonged, unproductive conflict or disagreement, while also saving time and money.
Group Meeting Facilitation
Strategic Planning helps you identify the best course of action and determine steps needed to successfully execute new plans.
Project Planning helps teams strategically design and execute a project from conception to implementation, anticipating potential obstacles and identifying proactive solutions.
Decision Making helps teams gain a thorough understanding of both the issues and the available options, leading to the development of effective decisions that benefit all key stakeholders.
what to expect when working with me
Listening. I start our work together by asking questions designed to help you fully express what you desire and to gain information about the other stakeholders involved. This provides with clarity about both your current situation and desired changes.
Preparing. I continue our work by interviewing other attendees to better understand their hopes and concerns for the meeting, gaining a sense for how the meeting will flow. I begin designing the optimal flow for your meeting that takes your logistical constraints into account, while researching the relevant background information that seems important for your meeting’s success. At the end of this step, I will provide you with an agenda as well as the slides and other materials needed for the meeting.
Facilitating. I arrive before the meeting to ensure that the room (or virtual platform) is ready for you 15 minutes before the desired start time. I will facilitate the meeting in an impartial and time-consocius fashion, and will end with a debriefing session with those who helped plan the meeting.
Documenting. Within 72 hours, I will provide you with an executive summary of what was decided and the actions that were assigned to ensure that next steps are carried out successfully. I also will provide a report that summarizes the major discussions that went into the final decisions, including topics of dissent and the provisional agreements. This means you will have an organized summary of the meeting as a reference for future conversations or meetings.
Each meeting has its own unique potential. i enable your team to accomplish more, Together, than ever.

About Us
Peerless Leadership partners with businesses and organizations to create healthy workplaces by providing leadership development and certification, consulting and facilitation for organizations, and staff development and wellness programs.
The quality of the workplace environment has a huge impact on businesses’ ability to attract and retain quality employees. We provide training and support for business owners, leaders, and managers on building strong, positive workplaces that balance good workplace relations with a focus on meeting organizational goals.
Employee engagement and effectiveness depend on the quality of work relationships. Relationships also influence how committed workers are to their jobs and how long they stick around. (We all know how hard it is to leave a job when we feel connected to our fellow employees and managers.)
Supporting healthy relationships is also a key part of having an effective wellness strategy for your organization. The National Institutes for Health has stated that relationships are a “public health priority of equal importance to lifestyle factors” (like exercise, smoking, and obesity) because the quality of our relationships has a powerful influence on our physical and mental health, as well as affecting our ability to be effective in the workplace.

“I have experience in the executive/professional coaching space. During my 15 years as a small business owner, I've utilized trusted, certified professionals to offer guidance in the area of leadership, management, and general organization. After working with Daniel, I can confidently say his service is superior. Daniel is an expert listener and problem solver. He has an uncanny ability to help leaders/managers condense what ordinarily may feel like a multi-faceted problem into very palatable pieces. His approach gives leaders the tools to effectively compartmentalize and prioritize; arming them with the confidence and urgency to attack their issues head-on. After sitting with Daniel for only a few sessions, I find myself utilizing his concepts on a day-to-day basis. I would recommend Daniel to any business professional; from novice to expert level.”
