Founder & CEO The Extreme Leadership Institute

“Dennis delivers his powerful, actionable lessons about people and service with great energy and humor. He gets everyone engaged, keeps their interest, and establishes a connection that goes much deeper than a typical speaker, trainer or facilitator. And while he comes from a storied career in the construction industry, his content will deliver a critical competitive advantage for anyone in any field. I’ve had him speak on my stage, and I highly recommend you invite him to present at your event, too.” —Steve Farber, Founder and CEO The Extreme Leadership Institute; author, Love Is Just Damn Good Business, Greater Than Yourself, and The Radical Leap

“Soft as Steel” provides tremendous insights and analysis that can serve as a guide not only for those in the construction industry, but for anyone in his or her day-to-day life interacting with others. Dennis’s focus on the more intangible skills that accompany a good communicator and leader, is a unique take for our industry that everyone could stand to benefit from. He also cites plenty of real-world examples, either from his own experiences or from his “conversation partners” that provide the reader with ample utility and value that will help them better engage with their clients, business partners and employees.”
