“Everyone who has ever been to a conference knows that keynote speakers can be very hit or miss.  Some are entertaining but lack substance and others are so boring that no matter how good the material is you are praying someone pulls a fire alarm.  Dean Lindsay perfectly blends his high energy and wonderful sense of humor with real, actionable steps to help your team become progress leaders instead of change managers.”  – Glenn Loughridge, President of National Association of College Auxiliary Services South

“Dean Lindsay killed it!!! The best we have ever had.  Dean came in at the perfect time to get our leaders on track for an epic comeback.

As we begin the difficult work of integrating three newly merged companies, it’s critical for us to understand the difference between progress and change.
