Transitioning from a traditional clinical leadership position such as medical director or Chief of Staff to a truly administrative role such as Chief Medical Officer or Chief Executive Officer requires a fundamental shift in mindset.  I was fortunate to have Dennis as a coach and mentor during my transition from Chief of Staff to CEO and owe my success to his tireless efforts helping me shift my mindset as I navigated several challenging situations.  I highly recommend Dennis as a coach for anyone facing a role transition in administrative medicine – I couldn’t have done it without him!

Dennis is a brilliant leader, role model and mentor with a wealth of knowledge to share. Dennis was my manager for over five years. During this time, I could always rely on him to actively listen, help me problem solve, set realistic goals and give clear instructions and feedback. I very much enjoyed working with him on numerous complex projects throughout my tenure while watching him lead the organization to consistently exceed its goals month over month.

If you want to work with someone who will help you reach your full potential, Dennis is the person for you. Dennis places a real premium on ongoing learning and growth. Coupled with his willingness to share skills, knowledge and expertise, he tremendously impacted my professional growth and development and, in fact, helped me a secure multiple promotions in a highly challenging industry. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again and again. If you have the chance to work with Dennis, take it!

Dennis is a born coach. Equally comfortable in high school gymnasiums and hospital board rooms, he takes advantage of every opportunity to develop the teams he works with. Dennis’ unmatched energy and deep experience make him a highly effective executive, but it’s his ability to educate and coach others that makes him a truly great leader.
