Over the past 25 years Dale Biron has coached an extraordinary number of successful leaders and teams, fulfilling his mission to support clients in both their work and personal lives. Using bold, powerful language, he is transforming how timeless narratives and poems are experienced and applied. Bucking tradition, Dale uses poetry in story-rich, entertaining and engaging ways that ignite the mind, unleash the imagination, and touch the heart and soul. He has long observed how great stories and poems integrate and draw out the best of our intellectual and emotional selves. Such poems and stories have wholehearted conversations built right in, making them exceptional tools for those who want to improve their communication and accomplish more together. Dale has presented and taught at large and small venues throughout the West, including TEDx Marin, national business conferences, The Herbst Theatre, and Dominican University. He is former Poetry Editor for A Network for Grateful Living and served on the Board of Directors of the Marin Poetry Center. Dale's own book of poems-Why We Do Our Daily Practice-was published in 2014. Growing up in the Piedmont region of North Carolina under the watchful care of a New England-bred Father who read voraciously and a Southern-born Mother who loved poetry, literature and Latin, Dale's love for language was predestined. He now lives, works and gardens in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area.
