Leadership Keynote Presentation By: Echelon Front-  Danny Ziem

Echelon Front’s mission is to educate, train, mentor, and inspire LEADERS and organizations to solve problems through leadership, overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and create a culture of Extreme Ownership that empowers leaders up and down the chain of command to lead and win...in business and in life.

Utilizing lessons learned proven in combat, we help LEADERS develop the core ACTIONS and MINDSETS necessary to tackle issues including strategic alignment, team building, conflict resolution, planning and execution, innovation, safety and risk mitigation, crisis management strategies, and cultural transformation.

All your problems are leadership problems and extreme ownership is the solution. Leadership is a skill that can and must be taught and developed. Everyone at every level of your organization is a leader who must utilize these principles to build relationships, leverage resources, take ownership of problems, and implement solutions in order to win.
