Dan Ryan’s Summary

Experienced professional who thrives helping others reach their potential.

I have worked with firms in many countries helping their Leaders become more effective.
Services I provide include Retained Executive Search, Leadership Development, Executive Coaching and Leadership Alignment as well as Organizational Effectiveness consulting.

My work currently focuses on Leadership in the Engineering, Architecture, Construction, Technology, Healthcare, and Life Science industries.

I also work with Social Media Connection to help others understand the power and value of Social Networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and many others. Social Networks and Social Media are changing the face of our world, one conversation at a time.

I am just as comfortable talking one-on-one or in speaking to a group of hundreds. I become passionate about causes and projects I believe in and I am persistent in working out the details until I find the best methods or solutions to a problem.

You can reach me at Dan@HumanCapitalGroupInc.com for more information.

I can also be found on Facebook and on Twitter (That_DanRyan).
