Visionary. Never Gives Up.<\/h3><p>In the early 2000s, Dan Eckert was flying high as president and COO of a fast-growing \u201cdot-com\u201d business. The future looked bright \u2014 until the market crashed. After years of painstaking survival, a merger rescued the business. Dan found himself in a new leadership role at a new company, and in need of guidance on how to move forward as a leader in this next phase of his career.<\/p><p>The new company\u2019s CEO saw great potential in Dan and sent him to our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccl.org\/leadership-programs\/leadership-at-the-peak-training-for-senior-executives\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Leadership at the Peak program<\/a>. Here, Dan recognized something transformational: the journey for every leader is unique, but no one is alone. Sharing and collaborating with others along the way makes everyone stronger. Dan awoke to his own resilience and the value of compassion and humbling self-awareness. And, he learned how to channel those attributes into building, inspiring, and mentoring a team. With CCL\u2019s help, Dan discovered that a bend in the road can lead to even greater opportunities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba2439f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ba2439f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9536eb8\" data-id=\"9536eb8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-738b7c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"738b7c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"andrea\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0bbfc45 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0bbfc45\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Andrea Pilon Artman<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0537013 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0537013\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Advocate.
