“As humans, we all have mental models we rely on to navigate the complexities of life and work. While these models often serve us well, they can quietly limit what’s possible. I find deep purpose in helping leaders recognize these patterns and rewrite their models, empowering them to show up as their most powerful selves in service of what truly matters.”

Founder, Coach & Facilitator

Bio

Dan Putt is a coach, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Reboot.io. With well over a decade of experience guiding founders, CEOs, and executives, Dan’s work is rooted in the belief that true leadership begins with aligning actions to core values and vision.

Drawing from his experience as both an entrepreneur and coach, he helps clients translate personal insights into business advantage and business lessons into personal growth. His approach combines deep empathy with practical strategy, helping leaders build the inner resources and outer systems needed for sustainable success.

He believes leadership is a full-spectrum journey, one that integrates personal growth with professional success because when we lead from our true selves, both flourish.
