Nothing is more emotional in business than the workplace, where change must be done with people—not to them. As a speaker, Dan constructively tackles what leadership must do to ride the whirlwind that is the new era of AI. Key topics include: how to apply ESI (emotional and social intelligence) on the job to compliment technology’s raw abilities, and the non-verbal signals executives should be aware of when engaging in face time with stakeholders.
Whether Dan’s subject matter is business, politics or art, his underlying focus is always on the emotions that drive outcomes. The truth is that people’s feelings dictate what
they will recognize as relevant and be motivated to act on. Feelings also serve inevitably as a filter by which to evaluate whether a value proposition really reflects one’s own values and is worth trusting. In short, to be on-message is at best half-baked unless you’re on-emotion, too.
There are two currencies in life: dollars and emotions. For over a quarter-century now, Dan has specialized in the latter – often in terms of business applications, and often by analyzing facial expressions. Why the focus on faces? The answer is because the most valuable 25 square inches of visual territory on earth runs from the eyebrows to the mouth. There, people best reveal and communicate the affective responses that so often drive their behavior, whether in the marketplace, the workplace, their personal lives, or in realms like politics, sports, and the fine arts.
