“I started working with Dan because I was unhappy with my job as a civil litigator and did not know what change I could make to become more happy, both as a lawyer and a person. Dan helped me work through some extremely insightful and helpful exercises and then used a personalized approach to help me design a strategy to evaluate different career paths. Once I had chosen a path forward, Dan was an invaluable resource as I worked on networking, applying, interviewing, and eventually accepting an offer. It has now been seven months since I started working with Dan. I am one month into my new job, and happier and healthier than I have been since I graduated law school. Thanks, Dan! A.T., USA
“Dan has been my coach for a little over two years, and what he has done in terms of freeing up my time for broader pursuits has transformed my life in ways that I used to fantasize about as I sat at my desk staring at an overflowing inbox of urgent emails and a to do list full of tasks with impending deadlines. The change has been like a seed planted in the ground. At first nothing is visible, but slowly over time, my new life in the law emerged, that has given me “another life” outside the law which has allowed me to pursue and fulfill my dream of becoming a produced playwright. I love being a lawyer more than ever now, and that is because of Dan’s insightful and helpful guidance. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to both succeed at work and win at life! Thanks a million Dan!” R.R., Massachusetts
I worked with Dan Roberts for about nine months. Dan’s approach is very congenial, supportive and direct. He worked with me to make concrete commitments to take actions designed to achieve my goals, and held me accountable. He was genuinely happy for me when I succeeded, and, when I didn’t, he helped me think about why – was it the wrong goal, or was something holding me back, or was it something else? We focused initially on productivity, business generation and work-life balance. He gave me a number of very practical suggestions to manage my time, ensure that I capture all billable hours, minimize disruptions and focus on work at work and home at home. He helped me think of marketing in a new light that it made it more comfortable and easier to integrate into my work week, and really taught me how to build and maintain a network of professional contacts. I have recommended Dan to many other lawyers, and will continue to do so.” ∼ S.C., Texas
“My experience with Dan was excellent–I am so glad I turned to him to help me navigate my career switch. Dan helped me organize my thoughts around what I wanted in a job and, importantly, provided invaluable motivation to help me pursue various avenues. Throughout the process, Dan was extremely attentive to my (many) questions and needs, always making himself available. Ultimately, he helped me to land a terrific job well-suited to my particular personal and career goals. I would absolutely recommend Dan to any lawyer who is seeking to make a change in jobs.” ~ A.S., California
“Dan is a terrific career (and life) coach. Before working with Dan, my ideas for advancing and enriching my career, while plentiful, most often faded from memory shortly after inception. Methodically, Dan has helped me regenerate many past ideas and refine them into a clear set of career goals. Most importantly, Dan sticks with you and keeps you moving in the direction of those goals. The most productive and fulfilling time of my career has been while working with Dan.” ~ D.J., Virginia
If you are thinking about a career change, or just a tune-up, Dan can help you turn your day dreams into reality. Dan helps you identify and articulate what you really want out of a career and then he guides you through the exciting and sometimes scary process of moving toward your goals. Looking back, I can’t believe the progress I’ve made working with Dan. I went from not having a clue to what I wanted out of a career to having an array of incredibly exciting options. I can’t recommend Dan more highly.” ~ J.R., California
“I just want to thank you for all of your assistance this past year or so. Your coaching provided practical and big-picture insight into business development issues and really helped me focus on formulating a plan and following up on that plan…I also believe you offer attorneys a very valuable service in helping attorneys reach a balance in their lives, and also in reaching their professional goals.” ~ J.K., Illinois
“When I contacted you last spring, I had a laundry list of options I was considering and was frustrated with my present situation. I had no real plan to resolve my confusion but knew I had to get it resolved and move ahead with a clearer sense of purpose and mission. You gave me the structure, accountability and discipline to work through this very difficult period. You listened and drew me out, and as we moved ahead added some badly needed objectivity to the process. For the first time ever, I was able to examine the options I had considered for so long and see that they were not right for me. That freed me to reexamine my present situation and identify changes I could make now as well as in the longer term to align it with my values and goals. Your assistance was critical. I never had the sense that you were giving me canned answers; rather, your focus was on me and my unique challenges. Thanks very much for a job done professionally and with excellence.” ~ K.D., Pennsylvania

“Even with difficult cases, such as I considered myself to be, Dan Roberts doesn’t give up. He goes far beyond the call of duty with his support and encouragement. He helped me to realize that there is more to a goal than meeting it and that “being on the path” is, in actuality, the best part of the journey. Dan is more than my coach. I am honored to consider him, my friend.” ~ B.C., Texas
“I wanted to THANK YOU because you really helped guide me on my path with focusing on what I want, developing a plan of action to connect with people, and showing me the importance of good follow-up. You’re the best!!!” ~ E.D., California
