Leadership that leaves people better than you found them.

At its best, leadership is an act of stewardship.

Dan Houston has spent thirty years helping leaders and organizations build cultures that value performance and people, accountability and dignity.

When success is measured not only by outcomes but by how people are treated along the way, you build something more lasting than compliance. You build commitment, trust, and a culture where people truly thrive.

My Latest Book

Fairness Begins Where Belonging Lives

Now Available

Confessions of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultant

What leaders need to know to create a sense of belonging within their teams.

True leadership makes room for everyone to belong, because fairness is not about taking seats away, but about expanding the table.

Fairness is not a game of subtraction. It is not about removing one group to make space for another. It is about expansion.
Dan Houston

I did not look forward to attending this. I could not fathom how I could find six hours of training on these topics to be engaging and helpful. I am happy to be proved wrong.

Workshop Participant Waukesha, Wisconsin

Our DEI Committee has been in place for over three years now, and one of the best decisions the committee made was to invite Dan Houston and The 1750 Group to conduct an assessment of our organization. Through staff surveys, focus groups, and on site supervisor training, Dan reinforced our previous efforts and encouraged us to move forward as we continue to build an environment where all are welcomed and valued.

Margaret “Maggie” Rothenberger President and CEO, Partners for Quality, Inc.

Your session, Cultural Variety in Populations and Generations, was very well received, and there were more comments, written and verbal, about the quality, value, and positive benefit of the sessions than ever before.

Janet E. Jackson Former President and CEO, United Way of Central Ohio

Dan was an incredible coach for me. His ability to create a safe space to discuss experiences and strategies was invaluable to my professional growth. His calm nature often helped me reflect on the challenges and find my own path to solutions. I often refer to what would Dan say in my day to day leadership approach.
