Hi - I’m Dan Bobinski
I’m a training specialist, keynote speaker, author, and columnist, and I’ve been doing these things since 1989.
My passion is removing obstacles to success.
Nothing beats finding and removing the barriers that hold people back.
How I act on my passion:
People want their training to be excellent. I work with organizations so they can create and deliver excellent training.
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.

Getting Personal:
On the personal side, I’m married to the beautiful Jeralynne Bobinski and we have a beautiful (and precocious) 10-year old daughter. Our family also includes three dogs, four coturnix quail, and a very chipper canary.
My hobbies include landscaping, woodworking, astronomy, hiking, bird-watching, and photography. Though not so much any more, I also play guitar and bass guitar.
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. In addition to my blog, I write a syndicated column called Workplace Excellence. My work has also apperaed in the Times of London, CXO magazine, My Business, and The Journal of the Institute of Management Services, just to name a few.

In addition to being a certified behavioral analyst, I’ve also managed to become a learning addict:

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