At WHY NOT Leadership, we believe everything starts with self-awareness. Knowing who you are, understanding your strengths, and leveraging your team’s unique talents creates an environment where success naturally follows. We practice what we teach: leading with clarity, self-awareness, and energy.
Founded by Dan Dominguez, Why Not Leadership Began with a Bold Question:
“WHY NOT?” Why not challenge the norm, lead differently, and unlock untapped potential? With over 30 years of leadership experience, Dan created a leadership model rooted in purpose-driven growth, meaningful connections, and bold action.
From Army Airborne Ranger and Logistics Officer to National Sales Director managing $500M sales quotas, Dan has lived leadership on the frontlines. His innovative approach helped expand the WHY Discovery framework globally, making self-awareness accessible to leaders everywhere.
