What Leaders
Are Saying

Dennis brings both a systems-oriented approach and a human touch—having worked with long-term care, hospitals, nursing homes, academic medical centers, and healthcare associations. His message resonates especially when delivered at conferences, leadership retreats, or continuing education events.

Dennis was so easy to work with! Scheduling and communicating with him for our conference was stress-free. Wish all speakers were like this! He uses a very unique approach during his keynote sessions with real-life examples that we can all relate to with solutions and tools to take home and implement. All that plus a little humor….priceless! I would recommend Dennis to any organization looking for ways to reduce drama in their teams. He provides suggestions for change that are easy to implement and make a world of difference in how a team operates. We didn’t want his session to end!

Dennis came prepared and ready to share his information! He was timely and professional and communicated to the audience in a way that kept their attention and wanting to ask more questions. He engaged the group and had them thinking about how they can redefine the way the manage their staff. Stop solving the problems for them and engage the staff so as they come up with the solution. Very timely information for all Manager's and Directors. Dennis engaged the crowd and kept them thinking! He was humorous and direct as to problem solving and the group could see themselves in examples of how Manager's engaged their staff and what they need to change. I would definitely recommend Dennis for any...

Dennis was well prepared, professional and a good communicator. His presentation was engaging, professional, thoughtful, and very well received by our members. We absolutely recommend Dennis to organizations that need to help their members refocus on the job at hand without the drama.

I've never been in a training where someone has asked what we want to get out of the training and actually follows through on making sure that we touch on each point. So I really appreciated that, and really liked that Dennis was able to connect the frameworks to some of the things that our staff wanted to get out of the training themselves. A lot of our staff really enjoyed that they can use the tools, not only in their professional life, but also in their personal life.

Dennis McIntee is a gem! Incredibly knowledgeable and engaging speaker who nimbly adapts to his audience. The entire team at the Leadership Development Group embodies the lessons shared through their trainings and it’s truly a pleasure to work with them (as I have for multiple events).

Celisia Street

I was able to put my emotional intelligence to work. I had the opportunity to get to know myself better by exploring my working style. I am constantly referring to my personal assessment tools that were completed in class to understand myself and members of my team. This training has given me a chance to take a step back to examine the bigger picture and think about how the future may unfold. This course helped me see my challenges from a different perspective. I was able to increase my confidence and understand different work relationships by handling each team member differently. I have been able to have a positive experience with coworkers. In this course, I had the opportunity to network...
