"I cannot encourage you enough to engage and enjoy the ministry of Dan Greer.

Few people have an understanding of the unique challenges that the modern church is facing like he does. While Dan could do just about anything he wanted to do, he has successfully given his life to serve the local church.

It’s one thing to know how to grow a church, and it’s another to know how to grow leaders inside the church.

If I were to try and summarize Dan’s unique skill sets and passions, I would use these four statements:

  1. Dan can rapidly determine your present situation and build a customized, strategic plan that will give your organization a quantum leap into the future.
  2. Dan can help you recruit, develop and strategically place staff and volunteer leaders that will multiply your present reach by untold measures.
  3. Dan can help you fully understand your community and connect your church to your community, helping grow your church and allow your people to experience open-handed, servant leadership in their backyard.
  4. Dan can serve you and your “C-Level” leaders with resources and equipping as you look to lead a new generation of staff and volunteer leaders.
    This world is in a free-fall when it comes to the future of churches and faith-based organizations. Like me, you probably could use a fresh set of eyes and a sharp, strategic mind to help get from where you are to where the Divine wants you to be. That’s why I think Dan is so valuable to the local church!

I guarantee you that you will create a life-long friend as you get to know Dan Greer!"

"Our church was blessed to use the service and expertise of Dan Greer.  Dan is very knowledgeable and engaging in his “coming along the side” of pastoral leaders and staff.  His wisdom and experience proved invaluable in helping us develop a shared leadership model, strategic planning for our staff structure and missional outreach to the community.  Dan does not come into a church setting to be just a voice from the outside.  Dan allows himself to be an ex-officio of the staff – joining WITH the staff and not being APART from the staff.  When a staff experiences a win, then, everyone wins.  I recommend Dan and his coaching ability highly.  Dan offers deliverables that can be put into place."

"As a coach, Dan has helped me build a framework in my life to make strategic decisions, not based on the tyranny of the urgent, but based on values, desired outcomes and what's best for the organization."

"Dan brings wisdom, guidance, candor and clarity to any leader, team or group he engages with. Many times after I have met with Dan, I often feel like he has "lifted the fog" around whatever decision that I am trying to make. As a coach, Dan has helped me build a framework in my life to make strategic decisions, not based on the tyranny of the urgent, but based on values, desired outcomes and what's best for the organization. As a consultant, Dan has been able to speak the truth into the team and organization, truth that was hard to hear in some instances but needed for future growth. Any church, no matter the size, vision or history could immediately benefit from the wisdom Dan brings to the table."

After some major transitions as a church, our leaders were looking for someone to help us ask the right questions and move in the right direction for the future. After an initial meeting with Dan, we knew that he was the right person to do just that. Dan met with us initially a few times a month to help us to start thinking strategically about the future. He spent time getting to know our leaders, our staff, and our culture so that he could help frame our opportunities in a way that made sense for our church and setting.

After an initial phase of exploration, we began to do a deep dive into the areas of discipleship and structure. Dan has helped us to strategically set up systems to train and equip our people to grow spiritually and take the Gospel to the world through their existing relationships. Dan has helped us to explore how to make maximum impact with our resources and to think forward in visioning. We are now in a much better position to assimilate new people onto a growth track for connecting and serving with a Next Step Process.

We are thinking about how to take the Gospel to the marketplace rather than focusing only on church programs. We are developing a structure to support leadership development across all areas of ministry, and we are exploring ways to bring our core values of discipleship, family, and missions to all areas of the church’s life. Dan has been a great help in aligning our leadership around the right questions and processes to move us forward.

"Dan Greer was initially sought out to coach a particular member of the leadership team, helping the individual with development of relationship and organizational skills. As a result, over the course of two years Dan developed coaching relationships with all members of the leadership team."

“Amerigroup Tennessee, a Medicaid and Medicare managed care insurer with 650 associates, serving 400,000 members, is based in Nashville Tennessee.  Amerigroup is a subsidiary of Anthem, one of the largest health insurers in the United States. AGP Tennessee has a local, senior leadership team consisting of twelve leaders, headed by a market President.  Amerigroup has had a distinguished history of ten years with the State of Tennessee contract.

Dan Greer was initially sought out to coach a particular member of the leadership team, helping the individual with development of relationship and organizational skills. Dan’s purpose in the engagement was to maximize the leadership potential of this very talented contributor, who is truly an expert in his field.  Dan met with this employee and others in leadership to understand where this individual’s leadership opportunities were, but particularly to enhance and improve relationships with his peers.

Because of Dan’s leadership training experience and keen sense of leadership attributes, others on the leadership team became interested in furthering their own personal development.  As a result, over the course of two years Dan developed coaching relationships with all members of the leadership team.  In addition, Dan led several team-building exercises, including homework reading assignments, general instruction and individual consultations. Dan also became involved with the succession planning process where he consulted with leadership team members in developing their succession plans.

He also did an excellent job speaking at one of our annual leadership development events during an offsite summit.  Leadership team members benefited individually in professional development and the organization became more effective. Much less energy was devoted to non-productive interaction, resulting in better and more expedient decision making.

In summary, during a two year period, Dan led the leadership team through multiple dimensions of leadership development, including team building, succession planning and personal professional development of each member.

As leaders, we thank Dan Greer.”

“Over the years I have come to value Dan's opinion on many things, but specifically his ability to effectively carry an organization through change and trying times without compromising your, and the group’s integrity, yet coming out a stronger entity.

This speaks to his leadership and ability to build the leadership skills in individuals to build an organizational culture that is strong fundamentally. Where individuals have a great grasp on not just its core mission, but more importantly, on what the organization’s values are so that personal and organizational growth and success are complimentary to each other.

In essence, a culture that can withstand the constant challenges evident in our ever changing business environment.

I know Dan's company will be a success, as his uncanny ability to effectively merge faith and values in a business environment is a necessity for all organizations.”

“I have known Dan for several years and we worked together recently on a $12 million relocation project. Dan displayed excellent team leadership and organizational skills by keeping everyone focused on both schedule and budget.

In addition to managing a large team consisting of architects, contractors, and engineers, he involved the necessary staff for their input and approval of all aspects of the design. We found Dan to be demanding but fair and reasonable with the right mixture of toughness and understanding.

It is safe to say that the project would not have been successful without Dan’s involvement. His people skills and common sense will make him an asset to whatever endeavor he pursues in the future.”
