Dan Coben‘s work as a trusted Advisor and Coach to senior executives has enabled firms to optimally leverage and retain valuable top talent. By repositioning executives after successes, as well as revitalizing their careers and reputations following setbacks, his program has maximized their contributions and rewards.

Examples:

  • Coached Managing Director with valuable proprietary technology expertise to shed his “abrasive” reputation and win support for his improved business model. As a result, he increased net profitability $55MM in his department, was awarded a significant increase in compensation and chose to stay with the firm.
  • Coached bright but modest Asian woman passed over for promotion to generate $25MM in new revenues over six months by developing leadership presence needed to pioneer and execute on initiatives that cross leveraged credit and hedge fund products. As a result, she was promoted to Managing Director and chose to stay with the firm.
  • Coached Managing Director of a large financial reporting and regulatory compliance function in leadership strategies and tactics that enabled him to transform two warring factions of merger survivors into a cohesive, focused and productive team. As a result, he received a significant performance bonus and chose to stay with the firm.
  • Coached Managing Director of a market leading Global Credit Derivatives business to compete for more top tier industry positions by showing him how to communicate business and operational goals to his staff in actionable ways that facilitate measurable results. Worked closely with managers to perform "deep-dive" assessment. Co-facilitated meetings on annual objectives to ensure proper execution.
