In this episode, Adam sits down with Dan Dominguez, founder of WHY NOT Leadership. Dan is a leader in helping individuals identify their "whys" to better connect with their teams and clients. He shares insights on the nine "whys" system and how understanding these can transform your approach to business and relationships. Dan emphasizes the importance of meaningful conversations over traditional sales, providing actionable advice for coaches and consultants looking to make genuine connections. Tune in for a deep dive into the power of knowing your "whys" and leveraging them to enhance personal and professional interactions.
Meet Dan, a passionate advocate for genuine connections and the power of WHY. He believes that we are all just one connection away from achieving our dreams. As the founder of WHY Not Leadership and the Lead Different podcast, Dan has dedicated his career to helping individuals and organizations unlock their full potential.
With a background as the former Chief Growth Officer of the WHY Institute, Dan spearheaded the international growth of the WHY Discovery as the first step in self-awareness for coaches, consultants, and forward-thinking companies. He has personally guided thousands of individuals in discovering their WHY and has empowered hundreds of coaches worldwide to implement the WHY Discovery into their coaching practice.
Dan's approach to success is grounded in making a positive impact in the lives of others. By challenging the status quo, thinking outside the box, and bringing fresh ideas and perspectives to the table, he consistently delivers innovative solutions that make sense and help others move forward faster.
But Dan's journey to purposeful leadership didn't come without its own twists and turns. In 2019, as a National Sales Director at Baxter Healthcare, Dan had achieved significant career success. However, it was a simple journal entry from his seven-year-old daughter that sparked a life-changing decision. Inspired to find something that allowed him to make a difference in the world while maintaining connections with his loved ones, Dan embarked on a path of self-discovery.
A pivotal moment came when Dan crossed paths with Dr. Gary Sanchez, the founder of The WHY Institute. Through their collaboration, Dan unearthed his WHY and everything changed. The newfound self-awareness revealed to him why his previous corporate position no longer aligned with his purpose. Captivated by the clarity of purpose that knowing his WHY brought to his life, Dan joined the WHY Institute as their Chief Growth Officer, determined to share this transformational journey with others.
Armed with a degree in Business from the University of New Mexico and an MBA from St. Joseph's University, Dan has the knowledge and expertise to drive impactful change. However, his favorite question remains simple yet powerful: "How can I help?" This question reflects his genuine desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those he works with.
