Dan Woodworth, an inspirational speaker, trainer and author is well known for his uplifting messages that help hundreds of people turn life adversities into triumph for more than three decades.

What is unique about Dan’s work is that he teaches from his own personal experiences. With basic choices, attitude and pure determination, he overcame chronic respiratory infections and several near-death experiences to become not only a healthy and happy man, but also a reference point for those who want their best in life. Through love he has conquered fear and shame in his life.

The experiences of Dan as a fisheries research biologist, consultant, teacher, counselor, real estate property manager, ordained pastor and chaplain have in-depth understanding of the human dynamics in dealing with hopelessness, lack of goals and passion in life. The diverse exposure has led him to see the other side of those who refused to be held back by their past.

Mr. Woodworth has a high trust level and is optimistic—important elements in helping people sharpen their mission and develop creative ways to increase their success. He enjoys thinking of creative and innovative ideas to solve or manage any type of problem.
