Senior Graphic Designer and Art Director

"I’ve had the privilege of working with Dan Holland as my coach, and his impact has been tremendous. Dan has a unique ability to combine insight, structure, and encouragement. He doesn’t offer cookie-cutter advice—he tailors his approach to my needs, helping me navigate challenges, set clear goals, and consistently follow through. Thanks to Dan, I’ve gained both professional results and personal growth. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking meaningful and sustainable change."

Pipeline Coordinator, Elevate Orlando - Evans High Schoo 

“Dan’s training gave me practical self-awareness and improved how I connect with others. It helped our team grow in unity, respect, and collaboration—tools we’ll keep using as we move forward together. One of the most impactful parts of Dan’s training was learning how we operate differently in our natural state versus when we're around others. Understanding my own DISC personality type—and seeing the breakdown of my teammates' types—was incredibly helpful. It gave me a new level of awareness and appreciation for the differences in how we all work. The training increased understanding among our team and helped us recognize and value each other’s unique strengths. Looking ahead to 2025, I see this training continuing to strengthen our team’s unity and cohesion."

Preaching & Teaching Minister

"In 2019, I found myself at a low point in both my personal life and ministry. One of the greatest blessings of that year was reconnecting with Dan Holland. Dan is one of the most inspiring, motivating, and insightful leaders I have ever known. Over the past six years, he has helped me better understand my personality, gifts, and motivations. He guided me in identifying the right work environment, revamped my resume, and walked with me through the interview process. By God’s grace and through Dan’s insight, I was able to transition into a role and place that I love. Beyond the career impact, Dan has helped me establish a healthier life rhythm, manage my time more effectively, and strengthen my strategic planning skills. He’s also been a vital partner in navigating complex ministerial challenges and shaping sermons that connect with diverse audiences. Dan’s servant leadership and steadfast support have made a profound and lasting difference in my life."

Elevate Orlando, Colonial HS Pipeline Coordinator

"Dan’s training helped me grow as a leader, better communicate with my team, and assign roles based on strengths. We’ve become more unified, effective, and ready for success. The most valuable part of Dan’s training was learning about different personality types. It helped me communicate more effectively with my team by understanding that we all approach work differently—some are focused on outcomes, while others value the process. I quickly adjusted my leadership style to better support a teammate who prefers to ‘land the plane’ and get things done efficiently. The training improved our team’s effectiveness and cohesion. I began assigning tasks based on team members’ strengths. The training challenged me to grow as a leader. It helped me reflect on how I present myself and reminded me that my way of thinking isn’t the only valid approach. I’ve become more open to other perspectives and more intentional in how I lead. "

"By combining the wisdom of scripture with over 30 years experience in ministry, Dan has written a real-world, road-tested, clear-cut guide to dramatically changing the way Believers approach their lives, their churches, their families and their walk with God. “70 Seconds” exposes some of God’s eternal truths in a very new, and very welcome light."

“I couldn’t put it down. What a blessing it was to me! I realized right away that I have been WANDERING for the last couple of months! Reading 70 Seconds has given me a newfound energy and dedication to staying faithful and making sure that I “vote” every day. I am now thinking that maybe this season of my life is part of God’s plan to give me rest and help me to really listen for His voice to determine what’s next for me and to choose FAITH over fear!” 

Career Coach and Author of "Faith And Unemployment"

"I’ve known Dan for over 30 years and this book is a beautiful watermark of his faith. It is an enlightening read that reminds you that God desperately desires to use you in EVERY chapter of your life. He skillfully communicates that trusting fully in God’s love and promises are the keys to successfully getting through the adventures he calls you to. This book challenges you to walk bravely into the arena of your life and to listen carefully for what God is calling you to do!"

Chief Catalyst, Healthy Growing Leaders

 “Don’t let the title mislead you; it may have only taken 70 seconds for God to give these instructions to Joshua, but it will take you a lifetime to fully lean into living them out. I have known Dan in ministry for over 30 years and can tell you he not only teaches us what we need to know about fulfilling our leadership calling in the book, he has also lived them for decades. Dan speaks from a personal knowledge of applying these principles in his life. As they have made him a great leader, they will do the same for you.”

Lead Pastor of New Life Church and author

"I have often said that a well-placed question can change the direction of a person’s life forever. In 70 Seconds, Dan walks through the kinds of questions that have the potential to disarm you and disrupt your life. But if you want to move past your past, or you want to avoid making the same mistakes as others, I recommend you think through some of the powerful questions that he poses in this thought-provoking book."
