I gained invaluable insights into executive leadership training from Danny Auer in just a few months, more than I ever did in over forty years in law enforcement. Even within a large sheriff's department and federal law enforcement agency, no one demonstrates change management expertise or accepts responsibility for leadership and its consequences quite like Danny. His approach to executive coaching ensures that EVERYONE feels valued and respected, regardless of rank, position, or title. -Malcolm Adams, Law Enforcement Consultant, The Bowman Group, Div. Chief, FLETC (Ret), Sergeant, Jacksonville FL Sheriff's Office (Ret)

During my time as an Assistant Director (AD) at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC), I had the privilege of collaborating closely with Danny Auer. As a senior leader within the agency, Danny held two pivotal roles: Site Director for FLETC’s Cheltenham Training Operations and Chief of Staff for the FLETC Director. In his Cheltenham position, I provided essential support services to his operation. As the FLETC Chief of Staff, one of his responsibilities was to assist me, as an AD, in fulfilling my directorate’s obligations towards achieving FLETC’s elite mission. Danny exemplifies professionalism and possesses exceptional change management expertise. He values people and skillfully leverages relationships to reach favorable outcomes. I have personally benefited from Danny’s inclusive strategies in leadership development and his ability to build and optimize strategic alliances, enhancing organizations and their workforces. His approach to executive leadership training allows him to get things done seamlessly while ensuring others receive recognition. -Marcus L. Hill, Principal, Hill Management Consultancy, LLC, Vice Chair, Senior Executives Association, Senior Executive Service and Military Officer (Ret)

Danny has been an exceptional mentor to me, showcasing his change management expertise throughout our interactions. His kindness and willingness to share his own experiences and wisdom, while listening closely and truly caring, are hallmarks of his leadership. As a mentor, he has always aimed to help me become a better version of myself, rather than trying to mold me into his ideals and perspectives. Danny’s insight on executive leadership training has profoundly impacted me, both in my professional life and my personal life. His ability to convey his knowledge, experience, and talents in a meaningful way is remarkable. He places a real emphasis on listening and considers 'feedback' a gift. He describes leadership as an 'art' that is lived out not only through one’s career but also through life. Danny believes that leadership is a privilege and shouldn’t be taken lightly or for granted. He embraces the philosophy of listening, understanding what motivates those you lead, and recognizing how struggles in personal life can impact professional performance. By following Danny’s leadership development concepts, you will learn how to create an environment that maximizes opportunities for success, not only for yourself but, more importantly, for those you have been entrusted to lead. I highly recommend Danny as a leader and a mentor. His concepts and executive coaching skills can transform you as a leader and are transferable to every aspect of personal and professional life. I am a better leader, worker, family man, and friend because I have been able to embrace the 'gift' and understand the art of leadership as modeled by Danny. -Tom Flanagan, Law Enforcement Specialist, USAF, AFOSI (Ret)
