David Dillon
Reston, VA
Eagle / Dove
I help successful leaders develop healthy teams and culture so they can thrive. Successful leaders are typically great at what they do, but when confronted with new business challenges like attracting, engaging and retaining a great team, they usually find they have limited support available, so they settle for the status quo or struggle alone and often fail. I help them with proven tools, process and support. I teach, facilitate and coach to get results and the benefits of those results.
