Helping people create results that matter
for themselves, and their organizations

Dan Kennedy Dan Kennedy has been working with leaders who are ready to create results that matter for themselves and their organizations since 1991. Over the years, he has been interviewed about the coaching profession by news and business publications including Inc. Magazine and The Seattle Times.

Dan is also a speaker and facilitator on issues regarding coaching, leadership, and career development. He has designed and conducted over 800 effective presentations, workshops and seminars for various local and national organizations, including courses for managers and clergy on learning coaching as a leadership skill.

Dan has been a regular contributor to NetSpeed Fast Tracks, a website devoted to helping managers and their employees successfully deal with workplace and career challenges. He also produced and hosted a well-regarded radio program on workplace issues that aired for two years in the Seattle area on KSER 90.7 FM.

He completed the advanced curriculum at The Coaches Training Institute, and was a member of the International Coach Federation’s language committee, which was responsible for creating the organization's original definition of coaching. Dan helped found the Seattle area ICF chapter, as well. He is also the creator and publisher of The Coach's Resource List©, a comprehensive listing of information sources for those wanting to learn more about the skills and profession of coaching.

Dan was a recent trustee of the Puget Sound Career Development Association, and has consulted to Next Chapter of Puget Sound, a consortium of non-profit and governmental organizations devoted to helping people in the second half of life contribute as much as possible to society. Dan has a history of active engagement in his community. He is a past board member of Congregational Leadership Northwest, a key regional consulting and training resource devoted to helping faith communities and their leaders thrive.

Prior to his coaching career he was a successful trainer and sales executive with the LEXIS / NEXIS online information services company.

In the end, as far as Dan is concerned, all his work is about helping people be engaged in their work and to be as successful at it as possible.

Kennedy & Company in the Press

The Zero-Defect CEO
Inc. Magazine
"Dan Kennedy, a Seattle based coach, contends that the best coaches actually have coaches themselves. 'They realize there's always more to learn about coaching,' he says."

Coaches Help Keep Clients' Lives On Track
The Seattle Times
"'Coaching helps us focus on things that are really important to us,' Kennedy said. 'Often in the business of living our lives, we forget what those things are. Coaching offers structured and ongoing support to help people achieve what they want for themselves. As outsiders who want the best for their clients, coaches offer the perspective, encouragement and accountability that other people can't.' "

Coaching Brings Energy Back Into Work
Training Quarterly
"Dan is a personal coach who offers coaching services to professionals and coaching training for leaders . . . 'Managers who coach save time by encouraging team members to take more control and responsibility. It also increases productivity by decreasing 'have to' activity and increasing 'want to' productivity and performance. For the employee, coaching increases learning and performance, motivation and work satisfaction,' he explains."

Personal Business Coaches Help Workers
Achieve Their Goals
Eastside Journal
" 'Career coaching differs from the more traditional career counseling in that coaches don't deal with underlying issues that might be blocking somebody's progress,' said Dan Kennedy, a Seattle business coach."
