Dan Auerbach - CEO & Executive Coaching | Sydney & Online

I am honoured to recommend Dan Auerbach as an exceptional leadership coach. Dan's guidance has profoundly shaped my leadership journey, preparing me for a C-Suite role.

In our meetings, Dan helped me reflect deeply on my leadership style and offered actionable strategies to advance my capabilities. He skillfully blends his clinical psychology experience with commercial acumen and insight. He quickly identifies key issues in complex leadership challenges and knows exactly where to intervene for maximum impact.

At the start of our coaching, Dan worked with my leader to gain insights into areas for improvement. He identified my challenges in communicating with executives and C-Suite leaders and introduced impactful strategies, like the McKinsey framework. With his guidance, l developed the confidence and skills to structure my thoughts with precision, helping me communicate with clarity and impact.

What sets Dan apart is his genuine passion for helping his clients succeed. He listens intently, understands goals deeply, and shares practical tools that deliver results. His empathetic approach helped me unlock new levels of confidence, clarity, and influence.

Dan's support was instrumental during my transition into the Deputy CISO role, ensuring I was equipped to succeed from day one. I am immensely grateful for Dan's mentorship and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking to excel in executive leadership.

Thank you, Dan, for your incredible guidance and for helping me lead with purpose and authenticity. Your impact on my professional growth is truly significant. More...

Over the last few months, I had the privilege of working with Dan, and couldn't recommend him highly enough. He was very quickly able to dive right into the root of my development areas, and provide me with instantly implementable strategies to better myself as a business leader, which we then built from session to session.

I valued his mix of empathy and willingness to challenge me, which resulted in getting to the 'real' issues. He has assisted me in understanding myself significantly better, and how to bring out my best within the business environment I exist in, but also in life in general. Thank you Dan! More...

I was introduced to Dan through Westpac’s investment in my professional development as a senior leader. My role in the Chief Transformation Office demands broad and highly tuned executive stakeholder management skills. Dan’s expertise has been instrumental in advancing my ability to navigate complex stakeholder relationships, leading to enhanced outcomes for the Westpac group.

Coaching with Dan has given me a richer understanding of my colleagues' motivations as well as my own, enabling me to better respond in critical and stressful situations. Dan's perceptiveness allows him to offer insights and actionable advice that far surpasses the standard coaching methodologies I've encountered in the past. He has helped me, as an individual, to build on my own strengths rather than trying to emulate others.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dan to anyone looking to significantly elevate their leadership, particularly in roles that require exceptional stakeholder management skills. More...

I was introduced to Dan for assistance to interpret & reflect on my 360-degree review results. In previous experiences with other coaches, this assistance was high level and limited and focussed on a couple of actions which did not materially differ to my own interpretation of the 360-degree feedback.

Dan’s approach was to help me understand the behaviours underlying my 360-degree results. With Dan’s guidance and provocation, I better understand my own psychology and why I approach situations like I do.

This has given me a deeper insight into my behaviours and how these are perceived by others. With this insight I feel better equipped to align my behaviours with the intent I wish to convey.

Dan has helped me clarify the leadership journey I want to take and how I can best achieve this through managed behaviours. More...

Dan Auerbach is an exceptional Executive Coach.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Dan as he supported me to enhance my effectiveness as an experienced Executive Leader. When looking for a coach a key priority for me was finding the right professional, who wouldn't hold back in asking the right questions, and who would make sure I hold myself accountable which is important for long term change.

Throughout the process Dan did not disappoint, consistently demonstrating excellent technical skills in psychology and coaching, with clear commercial acumen and understanding of how a business operates. This meant our conversations were able to move quickly and efficiently with Dan asking very clear specific relevant questions that challenged me - the types of questions that had been missing. The benefit has been getting to the right point of focus quickly and results flowed more easily.

Given my experience, I've decided to continue working with Dan on a couple of other things that I'd like to now turn my focus to. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any CEO or Executive Leader looking to take their effectiveness to the next level. More...
