LEADING LIKE A BUFFALO
We help other leaders reach their leadership potential and understanding through self-appreciation, skill development, networking, and support.
SO, WHAT’S UP WITH THE BUFFALO?
We often get asked “What does ‘Leading Like a Buffalo’ mean and why is the name of your company?”
There is a two-part answer:
- “Leading” is an action verb and leadership requires action! Don’t stress, even the act of delegating is action!
- Buffaloes (American Bison) do not shy from challenges. When a storm approaches, they walk toward it, which allows them to get through the storm faster. In other words, address issues that need addressing and put them behind you!
We personify “Leading Like a Buffalo!”

Testimonials
“Dan took me on a journey of self-discovery.
He helped me understand my military leadership and experiences easily transfer to my civilian career.
Dan’s strategies to implement the tenets of leadership are IMPACTFUL. It is obvious during his tenure as a leader in the military and the educational system, being an INTENTIONAL leader facilitates a sense of COMMUNITY/TEAMWORK and COLLECTIVISM. All of which makes you an effective leader that builds professional relationships and empowers those around you!
–Yolanda J., Nurse Practitioner and Lieutenant Colonel (RET), US Army
“As I reflect on Dan’s coaching and mentoring, I’ve been impressed not only by his knowledge and experience, but his ability to get me to problem solve my own issues. He has never told me ‘this is how you do it’ or ‘I would…’ Dan always gives me the information I need and asks pertinent questions guiding me to my own conclusions. This has allowed me to grow and learn immensely as a leader.”
–Doug P., Superintendent of Schools
“When I first started out as an educational leader Michael’s support was critical to my success. He showed me the ropes pointing me to all the right point people with the knowledge and information building my network and my capacity to be successful. Some mentors misinterpret coaching to be reproducing a version of their leadership style. Michael is a true coach who resonates with those he invests in. In being mentored by him, he recognized my natural leadership skill sets equipping me with practical wisdom to execute my professional responsibilities in excellence.”
–Michelle M., Executive Director, Charter School
