About Dan Bobinski
Since 1989 I’ve been training, coaching, and consulting with organizations that want to improve their effectiveness. It’s been 20 years of fulfillment. I love making a postive impact in the workplace.

Essentially, I’m a training specialist, columnist, and author, plus I do keynote speaking. In addition to being CEO of the Center for Workplace Excellence, I’m also the president of Leadership Development, Inc., where I’ve been conducting workforce and management training for more than 20 years.
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.
Here a few client comments that make a business owner proud:
“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.

The Center for Workplace Excellence specializes in Train the Trainer workshops and The Manager as Trainer classes.
My prevailing philosophy: Managers need to learn to think like trainers, equipping their teams with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for workplace excellence.
