About Dan Bobinski
Since 1989 I’ve been training, coaching, and consulting with organizations that want to improve their effectiveness. It’s been 22 years of fulfillment. I love making a positive impact in the workplace.
+ + +
Essentially, I’m a training specialist, keynote speaker, author, and columnist.
My passion is removing obstacles to success.
Nothing beats finding and removing barriers (often invisible) that are holding people back, and letting their natural motivations take them to new heights.
Why I like helping others:
A lot of what passes for training is average at best. I love providing engaging environments that transform the way people think.
Here a few client comments that let me know I’m on the right track:
“This is the best money the bank has ever spent.”
- Tami Ferguson, Area Manager
Vice President of Retail Operations, Washington Trust Bank
“In my 25 years working I’ve been through many similar programs. This one is the best — by far!”
- Ralph Freidrich, Production Supervisor
McCain Foods, USA
Thank you to Tami and Ralph, and to the hundreds of others who’ve made similar comments about the impact of the work I’ve done over the years.

My Writing:
I’m blessed that my latest book, Creating Passion-Driven Teams, is now a best seller. I also wrote Living Toad Free with Dr. Dennis Rader, a book about removing obstacles to success.

My prevailing philosophy: Managers and leaders must think like trainers, equipping teams with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for workplace excellence.
