SPEAKING
Since 1990, Dan Mann has worked in retail. Whether it is the outdoors, bike, run, fly fishing, fashion, footwear, brewing, or motor sports…..well you get the picture. Through that work, Dan has worked with leaders who want to achieve results with a team. This has led to the creation of Mann University (a university developing managers in the service industry sector), two books and thousands of speaking engagements.
Dan is joined by Hank Mann, a specialist in Androgogy and ORBiT who helps organizations build training that actually changes behavior, and Leslie Cunningham, a professionally certified EQ coach who helps leaders and teams turn self-awareness into real results. Together, they bring decades of combined experience to every stage they step on.
Do you have an upcoming event? Schedule a call today to see if Dan Mann, Hank Mann, or Leslie Cunningham is a fit.
Dan Mann has spent his career in front of a room, turning decades of retail leadership experience into presentations that connect. His countless hours have taught him one thing...do not assume your audience wants to be there. With this knowledge Dan has developed the capacity to capture his audience's attention and hold it all the way through his presentations.
Dan is also the author of two books born out of those decades in front of a room. ORBiT: The Art and Science of Influence breaks down the six-step process Dan developed for building buy-in and changing behavior on any team. His second book, Leading Change: How to Achieve Superior Results Through Gentle Pressure Relentlessly Applied, dives into what it actually takes to lead people through change without losing them along the way. Both books are available on Amazon, and both are the foundation for two of Dan's most requested talks.
Hank Mann brings a lifelong dedication to adult learning into every room he enters. As a specialist in Androgogy — the science of how adults learn best — Hank designs and delivers training that actually sticks, moving audiences beyond passive listening into real behavior change. He is also a certified practitioner of ORBiT, the Art and Science of Influence, helping leaders and teams understand what truly drives buy-in and performance. Hank's approach is rooted in the belief that adults don't learn the way kids do, and training programs that ignore that difference waste everyone's time. Do you have an upcoming event? Schedule a call today to see if Hank Mann is a fit.
Hank Mann has spent his career making training work for adults, not against them.
His experience in Androgogy has taught him that adults learn by doing, reflecting, and connecting new ideas to what they already know — not by sitting through lectures. Paired with his command of ORBiT, Hank helps organizations build influence and buy-in from the inside out. Learn more about his approach by booking a session today.
