Dan Stockdale is an author, leadership speaker, and consultant who coalesces the “wild side of business” and the “wild side of nature.” His focus? Teaching others how to apply the principles of natural behavior to achieving extraordinary results within their organizations.

Dan speaks to audiences in multiple industries throughout the county teaching the amazing leadership principles he has discovered.

Dan Stockdale, motivational speaker, business consultant and tiger trainer has worked with exotic animals of many species since he was 15 years old.

Dan’s first experience working with exotics was at a small themepark in East Tennessee where, in his teens, he had the opportunity to work with a herd of deer, sea lions, dolphins and macaws as a deer ranch boy.

Later, his passion turned toward primates and Dan Stockdale began raising monkeys in his home with his wife and son.
