MEET DANNY FRAZER

I'm an organizational culture expert who helps leaders in treatment and education build resilient, high-performance environments.

I’ve been responsible for building an operation from the ground up, hiring and training personnel, crafting a culture, meeting ambitious sales targets, and managing many people with different priorities and values. I’ve endured emergencies of all kinds. As anyone in this field knows, the ride can be bumpy and unforgiving. You don’t have to do this alone.

  • “Danny possesses the rare combination of all the qualities required to be an effective consultant and mentor—executive functioning skills, the ability to find the right balance between nurturance and assertiveness, and a genuine caring for each individual person with whom he interacts. His extensive experience in helping to create and maintain highly functional and mutually supportive teams provides him with meaningful context and valuable insight to help others achieve their intended objectives.”

    - Gil Hallows, Co-Founder and Executive Director,
    Legacy Treatment Center

  • “I can honestly say that Danny is the most creative problem solver I've worked with. Without hesitation Danny leaps into the heart of the matter, marshalling all available resources, opening lines of communication, and tackling problems head on as they arise.”

    - Doug Maxwell, Former Operations Director, Open Sky Wilderness Therapy

  • “I feel grateful to have had Danny as my mentor for several years. He is an incredibly thoughtful and patient leader. When talking through issues or planning, he has an exceptional skill of being encouraging while also playing devil's advocate to ensure you're thinking critically about all aspects at play with complex systems issues. On top of all this, as a mother in the professional world, I always felt seen and supported and never underestimated in my abilities to succeed and thrive in my professional role. This meant a great deal coming from a male supervisor and really taught me how to be a leader of human beings trying to navigate the personal/professional balance. ”

    - Margaret Kelso, W-EMT, Risk Management Advisor
    and Executive Director, Talisman Programs

  • "I can't express enough how invaluable Danny has been as a resource. His kindness and compassion create a welcoming and supportive environment, making it easy to approach him for guidance. At the same time, Danny is direct, honest, and clear in his feedback, which I truly appreciate. His knowledge, experience, and wisdom come through in every conversation. He offers invaluable insights that have helped me grow both personally and professionally. I’m grateful for his support and the integrity he brings to every interaction."
