Our Story

Built on vision. Sustained by results.

The 1750 Group and Daniel Houston & Associates are the dreams Dan Houston ushered into reality.

As a trained executive and leadership coach and an experienced consultant, Dan has spent more than thirty years building a national and international consulting practice, one engagement at a time.

That work has run from corporate boardrooms across North America to development programs in Europe, Japan, Russia, and South Africa. Different rooms, different languages, the same question underneath: what kind of organization are we actually building.

Founder and Principal Consultant

John Maxwell Certified Coach Founding JMT Member International Trainer Author

Dan Houston is President of The 1750 Group, Inc. and a John Maxwell Team certified leadership coach with more than thirty years of experience coaching and training leaders and employees from diverse backgrounds.

Since 2015 he has trained with John Maxwell on leadership and personal development, and he is a founding member of the John Maxwell Team. His work covers executive and leadership coaching, cultural competence, change management, communication strategy, team building, and emotional intelligence for leaders.

He has consulted with major organizations on leadership style assessment across North America and beyond, and he writes and speaks on what leadership actually costs the people carrying it.

Dan is sensitive, with a concise understanding of complex human dynamics such as poverty, racism, and prejudice. We benefited from his probing for deeper thinking and easy style.

What We Do

Three service pillars

One philosophy, applied at whatever scale the work requires.

Executive Coaching

A hands-on partnership approach that moves senior leaders from intention to result, working on judgement and presence rather than technique alone.

Leadership Development

Programs built for rooms, not slides. Our trainers connect with genuinely diverse audiences, which is why the work travels as well as it does.

Culture and Belonging

Transformational conversations that build inclusive cultures and equitable workplaces, handled with candour rather than compliance language.

Global Reach

The work has travelled a long way from Huntersville

Training assignments across four continents, and the perspective that comes from having to make the same ideas land in very different rooms.

United States Europe Japan Russia South Africa The Caribbean
