Executive COACHING WITH DANIEL STILLMAN
You are leading innovation and change in your team or organization. You’re growing as a facilitator. You’re leading a transformation. Or maybe you want help stepping up and stepping into a new leadership role.
I partner with founders, impact entrepreneurs, C-level execs, teams, and high achievers to help them lead, transform, communicate and create.
Work with me and build the change you want to see.
“Daniel is a fantastic listener. He allows space for thinking and wondering, but gently directs you towards new discoveries. Our sessions opened up new perspectives of how I am thinking about myself and my own values as a facilitator and leader, as well traps I fall into. Our conversations leveled up my horizons and I am excited to see where it leads to next.”
“Daniel’s coaching helped me rethink how I approach storytelling as a collaboration and leadership skill in my work. While Daniel pushed me, he also makes each interaction a pleasure,
which made our time together truly fun and rewarding!”
OUr LIVES ARE LIVED One conversation at a time
Your teams, your company, your products and services are all conversations… And even you are a conversation!
Take a moment and collect all of the conversations that matter most to you, in your work and life. Think of the big conversations you’re building and the small ones. Gather up those happening inside and outside of your organization...and inside and outside of yourself. How many conversations are there? What’s working? What needs to shift?
You are already designing your conversations. (Whether you know it or not.) Maybe you’re designing them for clarity, speed or profit. What happens if you designed your conversations to maximize meaning or connection? Where would you start?
“Daniel’s coaching provides the blend of thoughtful listening with expert advice... with a willingness to lean more in one direction or the other depending on my needs at the moment. I appreciate that, in one call, we can move from grounding a session in how I’m actually feeling and how that’s informing my approach to my work, to talking high level strategy, to getting into detailed tactics about how best to approach a design dilemma. I’ve found Daniel to be an invaluable thought partner, and I learn from every conversation I have with him.”
“Working one on one with Daniel has been immensely helpful to my facilitation work...Daniel brings to his coaching not only his depth of facilitation knowledgeable and experience, but also his empathy and his sense of humor. I would definitely recommend working with Daniel for anyone who wants to take their facilitation work to the next level.”
“I have always thought that I was a natural facilitator. I quickly realized during my coaching conversations with Daniel that I could “up” my game considerably. I walked him through a recent workshop I’d done and he asked me some very insightful questions and provided me with some very helpful tools. His experience and perspective have been extremely valuable to me and my growth as a facilitator

CONVERSATION DESIGN coaching framework: Going Deeper
For leaders that want to go more deeply into how they show up at work, I use my conversations map to find out what conversations are functioning and flourishing in your work and life. We can then apply design principles from the functional conversations to the less functional ones. In my research and consulting work, I've identified four core creative conversations and five adaptive conversations that work together to create healthy people in healthy teams in healthy organizations. I'd love to work with you to find out what's working, and what's missing.
