I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Dennis through The Go-Givers Success Vault, the thriving community built around The Go-Giver principles. From the start, he has impressed me—not just with his deep leadership knowledge, but with the way he teaches it. He has a gift for making leadership practical, personal, and powerful. Dennis spent 23 years in the U.S. Air Force, earning accolades for his problem-solving expertise and strategic insight. But instead of coasting into retirement, he leaned into his passion for leadership development. Now, as a Maxwell Leadership Team coach, an adjunct faculty coach at the University of Denver, and a Values-Based Leadership specialist, he’s helping leaders at every level—from young professionals to the C-Suite—lead with clarity and purpose In this episode, we explore Dennis’s journey from military service to leadership coaching, his passion for values-driven leadership, and the principles that have shaped his mission to empower others.
