"Dan Rice, President of Thayer Leadership, spoke with the senior management of Point72 from Ukraine during an air raid about leadership, the relevance of Thayer's Leadership's curriculum for business leaders, and the diplomatic, informational, military, and economic conditions facing the Ukrainian nation and its military. Addressing any of these topics well would be a tall feat for anyone, but Dan was able to expertly navigate all and left such a positive and powerful impression that Point72’s leaders were eager to hear more from Dan and the Thayer team! And while nothing is ever truly ‘plug and play’, working with Dan and his team is the closest thing you’ll find in corporate leadership development today based on my experience. Again, a superb discussion led by a talented professional that was made possible by an equally talented and professional team. I simply can’t recommend Thayer Leadership highly enough!"

"Dan provided the keynote – Leadership Lessons from Ukraine – to start our 250-person contracts offsite and it set an inspiring tone for the event. As employees of the largest aerospace and defense company in the world, our team has been paying close attention to the war in Ukraine. However, because of the substantial amount of time that Dan has spent on the ground in Ukraine, he was able to offer unique insights into the war that our team found to be both compelling and moving. He was able to connect very clearly the importance of leadership to Ukraine’s success on the battlefield against Russia. Dan’s ability to highlight specific leadership lessons – like the importance of a “leader’s intent” (i.e., providing the “what” and the “why” to a team, and allowing the team to figure out the “how”) – truly resonated with our team. Dan’s keynote offered the best of all worlds to our team – it was personal, powerful and provided practical insights."
