Mark Dannenberg, Founder/Executive Coach

As a Chicago-based Executive Communication Coach, I have spent over 15 years coaching business executives and educators in communication and leadership skills. I have well over 3,000 hours of experience in coaching leaders across five continents. I am also a classically trained actor, having worked on stage and screen across North America. In my coaching, I look at the skills that allowed me to be successful in theatre, and share those skills that are analogous to helping leaders.

I am passionate that who you are as a person is an asset to who you are in your business.  All too frequently, people at work subjugate their own personalities and become human 'doings' instead of human beings.  This shows up as a lack of vocal variety, facial expressions, eye contact, etc.—the most basic human elements of engagement. 

My goal is to improve my clients' vocal and physical presence so that they are able to engage and inspire their audiences to take action.  I do this by focusing on expanding your range of expressiveness to help connect in a more genuine and persuasive manner.  I will make sure that, when it comes to your communications, your intention and your actions are aligned.
