With a proven track record for equipping teams to thrive when times are tough, Dr. Dan Diamond served as the Director of the Medical Triage Unit at the New Orleans Convention Center following Hurricane Katrina and he led first-response teams into many of the greatest disasters of our times. He received The President's Volunteer Service Award from President Obama and The Red Cross gave him the Real Hero Award. He was also received the Washington State Governor’s Award of Excellence for his work in Haiti. He is the author of Beyond Resilience: Trench-Tested Tools to Thrive Under Pressure.  His work has been featured on TEDx, CNN, Anderson Cooper, Larry King Live. 

Dr. Diamond's experience in disaster relief gives him a unique perspective on human behavior and leadership.
