Be An Inspirational Leader: Engage, Inspire, Empower (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780989815048)

Dan Nielsen is a successful leader, entrepreneur, teacher, author and speaker. A perpetual student, Dan understands the incredible power of learning from successful leaders and strongly believes that leadership excellence is the key to all lasting progress and success.

Dan spent much of his career as a healthcare executive, serving for fifteen years as the President and CEO of Dallas-Fort Worth Medical Center, and nearly fifteen years as the lead executive responsible for the national education and networking strategies and activities of VHA (now Vizient), America's largest hospital and healthcare national alliance.

Dan is now a leader, speaker, and author with a broad area of interest. He is passionate about helping others reach their potential and achieve greater success, no matter who you are or how you define it. He regularly writes and speaks about achieving greater success, becoming a better leader, and living an inspired and joy-filled life. His first book, Presidential Leadership: Learning from United States Presidential Libraries & Museums, was published in 2013 and is available via Amazon and other book retailers.

Whenever time allows, Dan continues to pursue two of his favorite hobbies: travel and photography. When not out traveling across America the Beautiful in his motorhome, which he fondly calls his "Inspirational Vehicle," Dan can usually be found getting some work done either in his favorite chair at Starbucks or while walking at the gym. Dan has two grown children and two grandchildren and lives near Dallas, Texas with his wife, Faye.
