You need Dan before you even know you need Dan. At the first indication of a PIP, a rumored layoff, a strange meeting with HR that just appeared on your calendar...you must do two very specific things. One, say nothing , nobody is your friend no matter how trivial it seems. Two, call Dan immediately.
Dan and his process guided me through one of the most shocking moments of my 35 year professional career. As an award winning sales executive, employed in the role for the better part of a decade, I was immediately terminated. There was no warning, no ability to course correct or share my perspective. My awards, accomplishments, relationships and tenure didn't matter. My feelings of betrayal and anger clouded my perception and ability to see any hope in a path forward. I met a local lawyer and she advised that I had no recourse at all. Not one to take no for an answer, I found Dan.
Dan's process brought clarity to the situation. He helped me understand the magnitude of what I was really dealing with and how to find a reasonable pathway forward. He helped me understand the finer points of employment process and law. Dan helped me channel my anger into a thoughtfully crafted statement to my former employer. The process enabled me to confidently stand up to my former employer forcing them to acknowledge their actions. His process is therapeutic and deliberate. I can unequivocally say that it gets results.
If you want an expert that will challenge you, make you dig deep and find the courage to stand up to corporate malfeasance, Dan is your man. He will guide, push, and cheer for you every step of the way. The process is hard, but I can assure you that it is worth the effort.

I can't recommend Dan enough. I never knew someone like Dan was out there because the truth is I've never had to worry about getting fired because I'm a dedicated employee that will do anything to succeed.
So when I found myself out of the blue getting fired someone from my network recommended Dan. During my first call with Dan I was 3 days out from the termination but could feel it coming and was essentially warned about it.
I met with Dan on a call and he knew EXACTLY what to do and told me EXACTLY what HR was going to do in the firing process. I was quickly able to combat some of their fake narratives and it made our severance battle a whole lot smoother. Dan also made me feel less alone; he told me about countless other conversations he had that same day with large corporations treating employees the same way.
From there we worked on an official response and were able to 7X my severance offer. I was shocked at HR giving me what I wanted; he knew EXACTLY what to do and guided me through every step needed.
You will not meet a more passionate person about what they do than Dan; he is a fighter for the people. More important than severance, Dan gave me my power back. I will never forget how much he helped me win back my confidence after a long year getting illegally managed out of an org. If I didn't work with Dan on this I would not have ever moved on from the wrongdoings of this employer; he helped me heal and get my power back! I also got hired extremely fast after getting fired and you will too if you work Dan because your confidence just soars after sticking up for yourself :D Thank you to Dan! Keep fighting the good fight

Never before did I understand the power an employee has in severance negotiations. I always thought getting let go is an inevitably discouraging and heartbreaking experience until I met Dan.
Dan helped me understand there's a way to come out of getting pushed out by a company wrongfully with pride and dignity.
Working with Dan I was able to double my severance by following his strategies and working closely with him.
I'll always appreciate the confidence he instilled in me and the passion Dan puts in to helping employees being mistreated.

Dan and Adam were able to help me craft a document compelling enough to 6x my severance, having been laid off from a very toxic, unethical, biased company. I would not have been able to do it on my own. Thank you Dan for your help.

I found Dan through a post of his on LinkedIn, and when an old colleague independently told me how successful he'd been at getting employees the severance they actually deserved, I knew I had to reach out. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made.
Dan and his team worked with me consistently over six to eight weeks, and I never once felt like I was navigating the process alone. They were responsive, strategic, and genuinely invested in the outcome. And the result speaks for itself: we ended up with nearly three times the severance I was originally offered.
I was absolutely thrilled. Dan knew exactly what he was doing at every stage, and his confidence made a stressful situation feel manageable. If you're facing a severance negotiation, he is hands down the partner you want in your corner. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Dan and Adam were fantastic to work with. They are both extremely knowledgeable and helped me secure an additional $50,000 in severance. I would highly recommend them.

I came to Dan Goodman Employment Advisory after leaving a leadership role I had held for nearly a decade. The severance offer on the table didn't reflect what I had built, and while I left on a good note, I was emotional about the exit and unsure how to push back on the offer.
Dan and Adam changed that. They walked me through where my leverage actually was, gave me notes to structure each response, and then refined my drafts so the tone was firm. Every time I got stuck or nervous, they were on the phone with me within hours. They also caught details I would have missed on my own, including COBRA coverage I was entitled to.
The final outcome was a substantial increase over the original offer. But beyond the number, they gave me confidence and a steady hand during a very hard few months. I'd recommend them to anyone facing a separation and unsure how to advocate for themselves.

Dan Goodman is the person you want in your corner when work gets complicated.
As a consultant, Dan helped me cut through the noise, understand my options, and advocate for myself with clarity and confidence. He’s candid, practical, and refreshingly human—exactly what you need when navigating a difficult professional situation.
His LinkedIn content carries that same energy. Dan doesn’t just explain how the workplace works; he helps employees understand how to navigate it. His advice is sharp and accessible.
Dan turns “What do I even do here?” into “Okay. I know my next move.” And that’s incredibly valuable.

I was recommended Dan’s services and I’m really glad I reached out to him. At the time, my workplace situation had become extremely toxic, and I was getting close to the end of my leave without feeling confident about what my next steps should be.
What I appreciated most about the framework Dan created was that it wasn’t driven by emotion, it was focused on facts, documentation, and presenting information in a way that allowed the company to better understand the scope of the situation. That approach helped shift the conversation from simply sharing what I was experiencing to clearly communicating both the impact and the facts behind it.
One of the biggest challenges was feeling like I was a single employee trying to navigate a complex and highly stressful situation within a large organization. That dynamic can be intimidating and, over time, can make it difficult to advocate for yourself effectively. Dan helped level the playing field by bringing structure, strategy, and objectivity to the process.
Partnering with Dan and Adam gave me the support I needed to approach the situation with greater clarity and confidence. I genuinely believe that without their guidance, I would not have been able to navigate it as effectively on my own. Their support helped me feel more prepared for the conversations I needed to have and better equipped to advocate for the outcome I felt was appropriate.
I’m grateful for the support and perspective they provided during a very difficult professional chapter.

I am so grateful to have found Dan when I was attending a webinar and he was the speaker. He really came through for me in a very difficult situation when I needed it most, especially as someone who is over 40. I was recruited away from a new job that I had recently taken by someone that I had trusted, which ended up being a huge mistake. The position turned out be nothing like it was promised and the company had an incredibly toxic environment that made it difficult to operate under. Dan helped me recover a significantly higher severance than the pitiful 1 week that was initially offered. He and his team were great to work with and helped me through this difficult situation. I highly recommend Dan Goodman.

I had the opportunity to work with both Dan and his associate, Adam. Our time together was productive and valuable. I would highly recommend Dan's services should you find yourself at a point in your career where you need his expertise. He provides a "safe space" for all the conversations required for a winning outcome!

I cannot recommend Dan enough. Here's my story:
I reached out to Dan, after getting let go from a very unfair employment situation where I had a new manager come in and completely shut down every effort I made to do a good job - all because of the color of my skin and my religion. This manager went to great lengths to unfairly take stabs at me - going as far as RETROACTIVELY having my annual performance review rating changed, something I could not even believe HR allowed him to do.
I was nervous when I came to Dan - especially because the fees sounded hefty to me at face value. I had already tried negotiating my severance and the company had refused to do so and threatened to pull away the severance offer. I was already broke and hurt, and now I was nervous too.
However, I was floored when I saw the kind of ammunition that Dan and his team brought to the negotiating table. Not only were they willing to negotiate - suddenly I was in the drivers seat. I saw the severance offer nearly triple within less than a week.
What I thought was a risk turned out to not be a risk at all.
I am so grateful to Dan and his team. They are fighting the good fight and I am so thankful for their services.

I was able to increase my severance from $25K to $70K with guidance from Dan and the DGEA team.
I’m an Account Executive who was placed on a PIP that was framed as an opportunity to improve. I took it very seriously and initially believed it was a genuine process. I continued to show up to the office and hustle every day and I even closed net new business while I was on the PIP, but none of that mattered. It became clear that the outcome had already been decided and the PIP was simply a formality to manage me out of the company.
I first discovered DGEA through Dan’s LinkedIn posts, which I found incredibly insightful. At the time, I was unhappy with my initial severance offer and didn’t even realize negotiation was possible. I foolishly went to a lawyer first, but they weren’t able to move the needle at all.
Dan and his team provide an invaluable service for employees navigating difficult workplace situations. I highly recommend DGEA to anyone facing a similar situation.

I spent $5k on a lawyer that was only able to negotiate a couple of more weeks pay to my severance before I found DGEA. I placed my attorney on hold and engaged with Dan and Adam who did a great job walking me through direct negotiations with my former employer to secure a ~5x increase from their initial offer and get me through an extremely challenging time in my career.

Thank you, Dan, for all your help. I honestly didn’t think you and your team would be able to recover anything for me, but you did. You helped every step of the way and I truly appreciate everything you did to get such a great outcome. I’m very grateful for your support and guidance through the whole process.

Dan was a strong supporter for me during one of the most difficult periods of my professional life. After being aggressively recruited into a role with promises that quickly unraveled into a toxic environment with blatant intimidation, gaslighting, and nepotism, I found myself facing a situation that was clearly designed to force my resignation.
Dan helped me step back, document what had happened, and craft a clear narrative to escalate to global HR. Through coaching, strategy, and multiple rounds of negotiation, he ensured I protected my reputation while securing a fair resolution.
Because of his support, I was able to move forward with dignity and confidence. Today, I’m in an executive-level role leading a team of 25 professionals who respect and value my leadership. Dan’s guidance helped turn a damaging situation into a powerful turning point in my career.
I highly recommend Dan not only as an employee advocate but more importantly as a means for employees to advocate for their, maintain their dignity, and have closure.

When I first spoke with Dan Goodman, my former employer had already presented what they called their “final” severance offer — roughly two weeks of pay — and were being aggressive about getting me to sign. Dan quickly helped me understand that the situation deserved a more thoughtful approach and that there were real opportunities to improve the outcome with the right strategy.
With Dan’s guidance, we approached the negotiation methodically and professionally. The result was a dramatically different outcome: the final settlement ultimately reached six figures.
Beyond the financial result, what I appreciated most was Dan’s steady, pragmatic approach throughout the process. He was responsive, thoughtful, and focused on achieving the best possible resolution without unnecessary conflict.
If you’re facing a severance negotiation and want someone who understands both the legal and strategic dynamics involved, I strongly encourage you to engage with Dan. His guidance throughout the process was correct on all fronts, he’s incredibly trustworthy, and a real bulldog on my behalf.

Being let go generated a ton of emotions —shock, anger, frustration — but the most salient feeling was humiliation that was only amplified by the company's severance offer. Dan and his employees helped me work through those emotions and that made his services invaluable enough. Add in the significant increase in severance, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. I now recommend Dan Goodman Employment Advisory Services to everyone I know.

With their vast experience from helping thousands of other mistreated employees, Dan and Adam bring tremendous compassion and insight to support you and fight back. In addition to securing a better severance package, it is an empowering experience to stand up to the bullies and call their bluff with Dan on your side.

I’m so thankful I contacted Dan after following him for a long time on LinkedIn. Unfortunately, I was impacted by a layoff despite being a top performer and it came as a complete shock. I also had a unique situation because I had accepted another job before I knew of the layoff, and was worried about giving up my leverage with my former company by openly explaining I had been hired somewhere else on LinkedIn despite my new company wanting me to post. Dan and Adam helped me navigate and I was still able to recover a decent chunk of money even so, and I also took back my sense of pride in a really strange time. I’d recommend working with them, even if you feel like there’s no hope.. there is!

Finding Dan Goodman and working the DGEA process changed everything for me after being blindsided by a predatory PIP. Their mission to empower employees facing employer intimidation and mismanagement turned my situation from one of fear, stress, and isolation to one of strength and clarity. By following their expert guidance, I crafted a powerful, fact-based response to my employer that brought the situation to a head and allowed me to negotiate a fair severance payout. I walked away with my dignity intact and a financial bridge to my next chapter.
DGEA provides more than just a process; they provide the empathy and expertise needed to help employees build their own unique path to a just outcome. If you are unjustly forced into a corner by your employer, I 100% recommend working with Dan and DGEA—you don’t have to face this alone!

I worked with Dan Goodman Employment Advisory to help negotiate a better severance package with my former employer, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. With Dan’s guidance and strategic approach, I was able to secure almost double the original offer.
Dan brings a rare combination of deep employment knowledge, clear communication, and calm, practical advice during what can be a stressful and emotional process. He helped me understand my options, assess risk, and negotiate from a position of confidence. I never felt pressured. Instead, I felt informed, supported, and empowered to make the right decisions for my situation.
If you are facing a layoff, severance negotiation, or employment transition and want an experienced advocate in your corner, I highly recommend Dan Goodman. His expertise delivered real, measurable results for me.

I reached out to Dan in the middle of one of the most disorienting and painful moments of my career. I was abruptly terminated from a company where I had been recruited to and giving my all, with no clear warning or opportunity to course correct. I was stunned, angry, and unsure of how to move forward both professionally and emotionally.
Dan met me there. Not just with strategy, but with deep clarity, compassion, and purpose. His framework helped me take what felt like a powerless situation and completely reframe it. Together, we crafted a thoughtful and honest narrative, one that held the company accountable and honored my contributions.
No matter what obstacles came up or how many curveballs the company threw our way, Dan never wavered. He was relentless in his commitment to reaching a just resolution and always made me feel like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared — not just about the outcome, but about how I felt through the process.
Because of his guidance, I didn’t just walk away with a severance package. I walked away with over 4x the original offer. More importantly, I walked away with my dignity intact.
Dan is a rare kind of advisor. He doesn’t just help you negotiate. He helps you reclaim your voice and choose a pathway that feels just, strategic, and human.

Dan and Adam …and this service is invaluable. It is a service you didn’t know you needed …but YOU DO! They helped me go from walking away on my own with $0 to the company and its representatives accountable with over $70k in a two week period! Dan is amazing. Adam is a force to be reckoned with. He is really changing the landscape for those caught in a horrible position with their or what they thought was THEIR company. Laid off, pip’d, ostracized, cornered whatever it is as an employee you can take back some dignity and control with Dan’s revolutionary and innovative, but completely NEEDED and OUR RIGHT to finally have, service. Do it! Just take back even some part of what has been taken from you in your situation by a show of power with self respect with Dan’s way.

Dan Goodman and team are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and strong advocates. More than anything, however, was the validation, shared indignation, and healing that took place during the negotiation process.
I am a strong advocate of humans first, and it is always tragic to experience a termination when we have put so much of our hearts and souls into an org. I know the sad truth is that we are just a number to 99.9% of them, but Dan helped me feel like my humanity mattered during a time when I was thrown under the bus and hurting big time. Ultimately, he helped me negotiate a 3x+ severance package. Thank you, Dan and Adam! 💖

Working with Dan and Adam was enlightening to say the least. After being targeted by my organization I felt lost and hopeless. Everything I had done for this group was being tarnished by people who didn't even know me. I felt betrayed and didn't know what was next. After reaching out to Dan he helped me gain my confidence and take back the power my old company stole from me. I was able to successfully negotiate a fair settlement so that I can get back out there and find my next opportunity. They're straight shooters and they know what they're doing. Trust their process and you too will regain your confidence and power.

After a significant setback and period of uncertainty in my professional career, an acquaintance recommended I contact DGEA. After the initial conversation with Dan, I recognized that I needed his expertise in negotiating with my former employer. With Dan's expert guidance and his team's unwavering support, I successfully negotiated a favorable separation agreement with their HR dept. The outcome of this action afforded me the ability to confidently review the situation I was in, and find the renewed drive in me to pursue my personal and professional goals. Thank you Dan and Adam!

When I was terminated from my job, after a week of successful trainings and even a congratulatory note to my manager from the president of the company, I was full of righteous indignation. I felt for certain I had a case to pursue, and I immediately contacted an attorney…who proceeded to tell me I might have a case but it wouldn’t be worth either of our time and would be too hard to prove. I didn’t know what to do. It was my third job loss in six years. All of my savings was gone. And then I remembered this fellow named Dan on LinkedIn. Couldn’t remember his last name. I actually googled “Dan LinkedIn helps people who are fired unjustly,” and Gemini replied “I think you mean Dan Goodman” with a summary of his posts. Dan responded to my message on LinkedIn and set up a meeting with me quickly. He was sympathetic and equally indignant about my circumstances. He cited the laws they had violated, and he was absolutely certain that they owed me a severance package at minimum. And what was the risk? At worst they say no, he said, which they’ve already done. I have never felt such relief to have a champion in my corner. I’ve never had someone take up my cause for me and help me march forward with confidence. That’s what Dan does. Yes, he provides the templates and helps craft a narrative, but the most important tool in his arsenal is that he really, truly cares about you. That is priceless.

Working with Dan was truly life-changing!
After two years of enduring gender harassment, discrimination, and retaliation that escalated into assault, I was completely depleted. Speaking up only made things worse — leadership painted me as the problem while protecting the harassers. I was manipulated, gaslit, and ultimately pushed out of the company.
I knew what was happening was wrong and illegal. I had already worked with two other attorneys who were unable to help me move forward. But Dan did.
Dan took me from a place where I had been forced to leave my job with nothing but a non-compete handed to me as I was pushed out the door to a six figure settlement! More importantly, he helped me reclaim my voice, restore my confidence, and begin healing from the trauma I had endured.
Dan not only provided expert guidance — he believed in me! He stood by me when HR and leadership were working to silence me and shield the company from accountability and what could have been a very damaging lawsuit.
Thanks to Dan, I now have closure, confidence, and a fresh start in a new role where I’m thriving. I am endlessly grateful for his unwavering support, strategic expertise, and compassion during the most difficult chapter of my life.

Last November I was terminated, with no prior notice of any kind, due to my company going bankrupt. I was not offered anything. No severance, insurance or compensation of any kind effective immediately.
I am a senior with 40+ years of experience in my field. My wife and I did not know where to turn - and then we heard about Dan. Our most fortunate day!!
We met with Dan and his assistant, Adam, who spelled out exactly the process they would guide us through to reach a mutually respectful binding financial conclusion to our dealings with my former employers.
In a time when we felt hopeless Dan and Adam supported us with their tremendous knowledge and kindness.
And the best part - they taught us how to be treated fairly and receive what I was due. A win win for us all!!
I would highly recommend giving Dan Goodman a chance to help you, too!

After 10 years of loyal dedication, loving what I do and managing a team that I grew and promoted and loved, I was fired. To say it was devastating would be an understatement. Now I was a 57 year old in an unfamiliar area of unemployment. Trying to deal with my humiliation, rage and loneliness, I reached out to Dan. Immediately they wanted to hear my story, they helped me gain back some dignity. Dan and Adam worked with me to channel my rage and humiliation into writing and fighting for what I deserve. They wanted to keep going after already increasing my severance for me, but I was done. They immediately supported my decision and made me feel validated and encouraged. Dan and Adam knew the ins and outs, they knew the next steps that HR would do before HR even knew! Everything they did was professional in every way. Getting me a better severance was a plus, the real magic was in the way they helped in cathartic ways. I would recommend them in any situation you are in.

My employment at a Fortune 500 company was wrongfully terminated. The help of Dan's services was instrumental in providing me a guided pathway toward a favorable monetary resolution in this matter. Dan and his team were always available to answer questions and provide guidance. Beyond the tactical support Dan Goodman Advisory provided, the process was cathartic. These guys were in my corner when no one else was and validated my wrongful termination. These guys truly care. In the end, I received 2 1/2xs the original severance offer. Thanks Dan!

Dan and Adam are the folks to know for any type of compensation struggles. Dan was able to increase my offer from 6 weeks of severance to 6 months! Something that I look back at from my experience with working with Dan was also something intangible; he gave me back my power and confidence from a truly horrific, sometimes hopeless looking situation. I highly recommend Dan and his team to make things right and help put you at ease. Unfair and unjust layoffs/comp plans BEWARE whenever you have Dan in your corner. I can't thank them enough.

Negotiating an employment contract can feel like navigating a legal maze—full of nuances that can have a big impact down the road. Dan Goodman helped me break down every detail, from salary and equity to the fine print of legal requirements, ensuring I fully understood the trade-offs and opportunities in my agreement.
His expertise not only gave me clarity but also helped me maximize the value of my contract. Dan is sharp, thorough, and refreshingly direct—exactly what you need in high-stakes negotiations.
If you’re an executive looking for a second set of eyes on your employment agreement, I can’t recommend him enough. His insights are invaluable.

My experience with DGEA was thorough, empowering and successful. Dan and Adam worked diligently with me to construct a counter-offer to my company’s original severance offer. Even when my company declined this counter-offer, DGEA worked with me again to create a formal response which was ultimately accepted by my company. The resulting compensation ended up being more than 150% of my original severance offer.
Not only were Dan and Adam pleasant to work with, they were willing to take the negotiations in any direction I wanted (litigation-based or empathy-based) and kept reminding me that I would be the one to decide when the process is done and we would only stop the process when I was satisfied.
I cannot thank them enough for all of their work and would recommend their services to anyone that feels they have been wrongfully terminated.

When I faced an incredibly challenging and disheartening situation with my former employer, Dan Goodman's consulting services proved invaluable. His expertise as an employee advocate helped me navigate a complex and emotionally charged period in my professional life. Specifically, Dan and Adam provided insightful guidance and strategies that enabled me to negotiate a better severance agreement after being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) under questionable circumstances, following just seven weeks in the role and during my recovery from a significant injury. Dan's approach was both professional and compassionate. He empowered me to advocate for myself while maintaining a constructive and solution-oriented perspective. His deep understanding of employment dynamics and his ability to frame issues in a way that encouraged fair and productive dialogue made a tangible difference. As someone who follows Dan on LinkedIn, I can also attest to the value of his content. His posts and shared insights consistently provide practical, actionable advice for employees navigating difficult workplace scenarios. Dan's ability to simplify complex employment issues and provide meaningful, real-world solutions is a testament to his commitment to supporting employees in achieving fair and just outcomes. I am profoundly grateful for Dan's support and advocacy during this time. His guidance has not only helped me achieve a more favorable outcome but also reinforced my belief in the importance of fairness, integrity, and constructive resolution.

Dan began popping up on my LinkedIn feed just as I was about to go through the most challenging time in my career. Despite solid results and ratings I could tell my employer was making plans to move on from me in my Director role.
Dan and Adam were there to assist prior to be even being terminated. They advised what was going to happen, how it was going to happen, and they knew the whole playbook.
Post termination the three of us worked together to craft our message. It was mentally very beneficial to have the support of Dan and team as we volleyed back and forth with my former employer for the better part of six months.
I am forever grateful to Dan and Adam for their support and friendship through it all. I would recommend their services to anyone going through a severance situation.

The hour I spent talking with Dan was without question the best investment I could have made after being subject to a toxic environment and false PIP. I had been so stressed out and anxious - and Dan's advice and knowledge gave me a sense or normality, and that I was right to question what was happening.

When I was blindsided by a clearly discriminatory firing, the offered 1 month of severance pay was practically insulting. I knew that it could take me months to get a new job in the current job market, and that 1 month of pay would not sustain my family long enough.
I'm so grateful that I was referred to DGEA!
Discussing my situation with them reassured me that I had indeed been discriminated against, and that I had a good foundation to demand a better severance offer. Dan and Adam worked with me to outline my grievances, determine an appropriate level of compensation, and negotiate when my former employer proved appallingly recalcitrant.
Thanks to Dan and Adam I got 3 months of COBRA reimbursement (an urgent need for my family) and 2 months of severance pay. More than that, I got reassurance and peace of mind in having my grievances validated and having DGEA's wealth of experience in these situations backing me. I was able to negotiate with confidence whereas alone I probably wouldn't have negotiated at all.
The increase in severance has made a huge difference for my family in this challenging time. Thank you, Dan and Adam, for helping me get through this!

Dan guided me through a tough exit from my employer, helping me secure two months of extra severance—a more than 10,000% ROI on our call! He’s straightforward, insightful, and doesn’t waste time. Dan quickly understood my unique situation, adapted his advice specifically to what I needed, and didn’t push a one-size-fits-all solution. His ability to read the employer and tailor his guidance made all the difference. 10/10 would recommend!

Dan and his team were extremely helpful and I was able to significantly increase my severance with their help. It’s normal to doubt yourself after a wrongful termination. Companies want you to feel that way so you won’t challenge them. Dan is great at reassuring you even when you doubt yourself in the process. Trust the process and always stand up for yourself and know your worth.
Less than 20% of people challenge a company and companies love to roll the dice hoping you will just go away. Always remember what you bring to the table and Dan will remind you of your worth even when you may have your doubts.

I worked for a company where I faced discrimination and unfair treatment, eventually being fired without explanation—and without severance. Thankfully, a friend referred me to Dan, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Dan and his partner, Adam, gave me the courage and confidence to fight for what I deserved. Although I was tempted to settle for a low severance just to move on, Dan insisted I could get more and always kept my best interests in mind.
They helped me draft an effective document to present to my former employer, offering valuable insights and coaching on how to tell my story authentically. After weeks of negotiation, I secured 10 weeks of severance plus three months of paid medical benefits.
Dan and Adam supported me through the worst experience of my corporate career, providing much-needed security during a very scary time. Dan is exceptional at what he does and truly stands up for employees.
I worked for a company where I faced discrimination and unfair treatment, eventually being fired without explanation—and without severance. Thankfully, a friend referred me to Dan, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Dan is nothing short of amazing when it comes to advocating for his clients. He cares about the people behind the stories, I never felt like just another number. He took the time to listen to my unique situation and was able to provide me with great advice and honest outcomes. He also advocates for the Latino community which highly influenced utilizing his services. Thank you Mr. Goodman!

Dan and Adam were incredible to work with during a challenging time. From start to finish, they were always on top of the next steps, providing consistent advice and support. After facing an unjust termination right as I was about to take paternity leave, with no severance or health benefits, Dan and Adam fought tirelessly on my behalf. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I was able to secure four months of paid salary along with health benefits. I’m grateful for their expertise and the outcome they achieved for me.

As a GTM Strategy nerd, I am fascinated by Dan and his services. He is the very definition of perfect product-market fit.
I needed help determining my realistic options after I was let go from an Enterprise-size SaaS company this year. I'd had a terrible experience in my almost two years there and my termination, while being labeled a 'layoff for business reasons', smacked of ageism, racism and retaliation. Dan helped me understand my options and, more importantly, the leverage I had to ensure that the firm was treating me fairly and without shenanigans.
Dan's process is thorough, specific, and personalized. The process is also cathartic, which is needed to allow for personal closure. It works. He and his team are direct, transparent, and are focused on getting you the best outcome given the facts.
Most importantly, Dan is the only person I've come across that focuses on educating you about your leverage. The firm usually has the power but you usually have more leverage than you think. While legal options tend to favor the employer, the employee has a lot more leverage than one could ever imagine oneself. And that's where Dan comes in. He balances empathy, respect, firmness and knowledge to help you do what's best for you.
He helped me deal with an intransigent ex-employer with a retaliatory CEO. From initial consult to the last negotiation round, he belonged me be strong. I was able to increase my severance by 50% to a comfortable and fair level. This helped me take care of my family and give me the space needed to find the right next role in this difficult market.
I've referred four people to him, of which three have been helped similarly. You could go it alone, but you don't have to do so. Dan is on your side and the results are highly likely to be far better with him in your side.
Finally, at a minimum, you want to follow him on LinkedIn. Knowledge is power. He arms you with knowledge you didn't even know existed, and that you didn't know that you needed.

I contacted Dan after a manager suddenly began managing me out just a few weeks after a glowing performance review. Dan gave me actionable advice on how to protect myself and paint an accurate picture of my performance to HR and skip level management. After a harrowing 3 months that escalated to mobbing, my direct manager was the one let go. I was allowed to keep my job and transfer to a new team. More important than the outcome for me, was that Dan's advice and encouragement helped me remain confident in myself throughout the entire ordeal. I highly recommend Dan!

Dan is great. He listens, understands your story and frustrations, and then gets to work building you up and helping you understand not just your rights, but that what's happened/happening to you isn't your fault.
10/10 would use again (but hopefully won't need to!)

If you're in a spot with your employer, have questions about documents presented to you pre-hire or as part of the separation process, or just need some guidance, you'll be hard pressed to find someone more knowledgeable than Dan. He's easy to contact, easier to work with, and has a method that is incredibly impactful.
If none of the above applies to your situation, you should still connect with Dan on LinkedIn and keep some of his tips in your toolbox, he's a goldmine of knowledge and is fully in YOUR corner.

Highly Recommend - Dan Exceeded Expectations!
From the very beginning, Dan instilled confidence in me. Facing a PIP, I felt I was toast. Dan took the time to understand my situation thoroughly, then went above and beyond by:
Shifting My Mindset: This is the biggest value Dan brings, pointing out that I had cards to play, that the result of a sales PIP was not set in stone.
He not only provided insight and expertise, but also helped me approach the situation with a more positive and confident outlook. For example, pointing out that PIPs are not a fact of life in sales and I was out the door. Instead I was working in a toxic situation and the company was trying to get rid of me on the cheap. It didn't matter that I was a little over 40 years old, I was in a federally protected class which strengthened my position. He got me confident in my position that I could negotiate my exit and could be in control of my destiny.
* Building a Strong Strategy: He created a clear and comprehensive plan that addressed all my concerns. He was decisive, clear, emphatic and empathetic. His detail and clarity as well as his passion gave me confidence to act and go up against the employer.
* Exploring Options: He didn't just present one path, but laid out various options with their pros and cons, empowering me to make informed decisions.
The outcome? We achieved a fantastic result that exceeded my expectations! I went from the standard two weeks pay, to going on the front foot and negotiating a $71,250 severance and all commissions to be paid.
Dan is a true professional – knowledgeable, strategic, and incredibly supportive. I highly recommend Dan to anyone in need of exceptional legal guidance. At the very least dig into his LinkedIn content, and take that first consulting call. His value will become clear and help you understand you have options in any situation.
Thank you Dan for helping me fight back.

I followed Dan Goodman on Linkedin a couple months prior to actually needing to use his services.
His content cut through the noise and was the only voice standing up for the employee, against corporate misbehavior.
I'm actually one of the cases that was unsuccessful in negotiating with my former employer and still feel Dan deserves a 5-star review.
Segmenting my experience into the 10 areas in Dan's program was a cathartic process in itself and allowed me to re-gain my confidence after being terminated the day after asking about taking time off to care for my Mother, who had a stroke (company was too small to require FMLA).
I trust Dan and Adam's advice and I will be asking for their help reviewing future employment agreements as well.

When I think of Dan, one word comes to mind: Impact.
Having had him on my podcast and absorbed a lot of his content on LinkedIn, it's clear that he has a (healthy) obsession with helping salespeople advocate for themselves in the workplace. Keep building your movement my man!

I met Dan via LinkedIn when I was in a rough situation with my employer in 2023. Dan gave me excellent advice, continuous guidance, tools and templates to take action and 2x my severance package after three months of negotiations. I will forever be grateful for the work that he does. I would also like to highlight that his process is actually therapeutic for someone who is going through a trying time by empowering them to find their voice and protesting against what is clearly not right. Thank you Dan, I will never forget.

Dan is THE voice online encouraging us all to stand up for what is rightfully ours. I know firsthand people I have sent his way who felt heard and who learned what to do next, after being wrongfully terminated or laid off with less than fair compensation. I appreciate Dan and all he represents. Don't hesitate to reach out to him if you have been wronged by your employer.

Dan was on my podcast when he was just starting out and it has been an absolute joy watching him grow his platform, his voice, his presence and his company.
Dan is helping so many people with his expertise and I only wish I had someone like him when I was fired from an Executive role. Dan can calm nerves, give you the straight talk, and share hope when there seems to be none.
I am an Executive Leadership Coach and am always sharing ways leaders can improve, and be more heart-centered and I do this through storytelling.
Dan is a master at sharing stories and that is why he has grown so quickly. It's been an honor and a joy to be part of his journey.

Dan's career insights and advice to sales professionals is top notch and unique.

His wisdom helps their confidence and their bank accounts.

I was initially hesitant in working with Dan Goodman as I was unsure of his ability to assist me. However, his meticulous approach helped uncover numerous injustices that I had previously dismissed as normal workplace challenges. Dan provided valuable insights that enabled me to articulate how I was being taken advantage of. Following his guidance, I was pleased with the outcome, despite the lengthy and thorough process required to identify all the wrongdoings and recognize my contributions before my termination. Thanks to Dan, I secured a better severance package that truly reflected my value to the company.

I sought the assistance of Dan Goodman after being unfairly terminated from my previous job, as several colleagues advised me to do so. These unforeseen circumstances had broken my spirit, but working with DGEA provided me with reassurance, validation, and the much-needed motivation to continue my career search. It was thanks to DGEA that I received double the original severance offer, but what is more important is that I was able to rebuild my confidence during the process.

Dan helped me during one of the most painful and difficult times in my career.
He helped me to regain my confidence and retain my self worth after an unjust termination that included bullying by a general council with questionable ethics and equity/wage theft.
Without Dans help, I don’t think I would have the time or money needed to have landed my next big career move.
Within 15 minutes of my LinkedIn message he had sent me his cell # and told me to call him. I’ll never forget his kindness and guidance - if you need help - don’t hesitate to use his services.

Working with Dan was great! I learned so many things I had never known. He was able to get me a severance package when I wasn't offered anything to start. He stayed with me through the entire process until I was comfortable with my final offer. He also provided some good laughs along the way! I would 100% recommend him to anyone who feels they did not receive what they deserved.

Dan was kind enough to advise me when I left my previous position, with a big commission check still outstanding. The payroll date for the commission check came and went, and then the games began with an labyrinthine administrative process to try and claim what was rightfully mine. Dan advised me to file a claim with the CO Department of Labor in order to get the attention of the Legal department, and then begin communicating directly with them to demand arbitration. This strategy worked, and resulted in a settlement offer of 60% of what I was owed, allowing me to put this matter behind me while recovering a majority of the commission check owed. Dan is a great and fearless advocate for sales professionals. I highly support Dan because he is voice for those who are often in desperate situations being taken advantage of by previous employers because of fear and ignorance. Dan will educate and empower you.

Really enjoyed working with Dan! I felt the tides shifting at my previous company and wanted someone to guide me through how I should prepare myself for being let go. I went into the conversation distraught and with a complete loss of confidence after being gas lit into thinking I wasn't performing well enough. He helped me see that was not the case, there's usually something happening behinds the scenes and I should be proactive about my situation. I walked away from my negation with exactly what I wanted and couldn't have done it without the push he gave me.

I highly recommend Dan – My severance package increased $35K after working with him, and I know I would not have been able to do this alone. Dan is experienced, strategic, and provides the right mix of therapeutic / tell-it-like-it-is support. I was very skeptical about working with someone I met through LinkedIn, but Dan took the time to build trust and then delivered what he promised. I now recommend him to anyone needing help negotiating their severance package. President, Professional Services

Dan was a huge help for me! 11/10 recommend!
I went through a very stressful company separation; I reached out to Dan for advice on loss wages and what steps to take.
Dan happily took a phone call and consulted me with the best next steps with led me to being compensated from my ex-employer as well as clear steps on reporting them to multiple 3 letter legal entities for their unlawful practice.
Dan has a very calm and kind demeanor which is contagious! He truly listens to your concerns and is so knowledgeable in employment rights!
Anyone would be lucky to have a conversation with him, you WILL have results, learn multiple things and walk away from being stressed to having confidence knowing someone out there has your back. I guarantee it!

The first thing you should do is call Dan Goodman. Have him review your agreement, and follow his process for negotiation.
As someone who was once in this situation, I can tell you, Dan’s services more than pay for themselves.
Not only is his process therapeutic (yes, that is a thing, and yes you will need it); Dan’s process yields real results.
After working with Dan over a two week period, the initial offer came up over 4x.
ROI from the investment required to work with Dan was in the thousands.
…and I personally know at least half a dozen, if not more people, who’ve had similar results.
Don’t be taken advantage of. Fight for what’s fair.
I encourage all the founders I work with to treat their teams fairly... I'm blessed to work with some incredible founders. If you aren't so blessed - CALL DAN!

I've had a handful of conversations with Dan in regards to some really challenging situations I was in. He offered me amazing advice that I was able to take action on right away. This resulting in me getting the commissions that were properly owed to me. I was unfortunately in a similar situation years before I met Dan where the outcome was not so great. Dan knows his stuff and is incredibly helpful. His content on LinkedIn shines a light on a topic that needs to get fixed.

I learn from Dan on the daily.

I want to express my immense gratitude for Dan Goodman’s invaluable guidance. His commitment to educating us about self-advocacy and awareness is truly commendable. I found myself in a situation where my compensation plan was unclear, and I had concerns about receiving owed commissions. Dan’s advice not only inspired me but also helped me navigate both issues successfully.
If ever faced with a challenge where I felt out of my depth with regards to a compensation or severance issue, Dan would be my first call. I’ve recommended him countless times, and I’m thankful for the wisdom he’s shared with me. Following him is a must; he sheds light on potential pitfalls, empowering us to handle them effectively and protect ourselves when needed.
I want to express my immense gratitude for Dan Goodman’s invaluable guidance. His commitment to educating us about self-advocacy and awareness is truly commendable. I found myself in a situation where my compensation plan was unclear, and I had concerns about receiving owed commissions. Dan’s advice not only inspired me but also helped me navigate both issues successfully.
If ever faced with a challenge where I felt out of my depth with regards to a compensation or severance issue, Dan would be my first call. I’ve recommended him countless times, and I’m thankful for the wisdom he’s shared with me. Following him is a must; he sheds light on potential pitfalls, empowering us to handle them effectively and protect ourselves when needed.

I had been following Dan's content for a few months which I have found to be really enlightening, and valuable for salespeople like me! Then unexpectedly I had a situation that required me to seek his advice. He was very fast to respond to me, discussed my situation, provided some very real and valuable advice. I wrote a formal email to my former employer which ultimately resulted in my getting paid exactly what I was due from them! Dan is extremely helpful, and knowledgable, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to him again if needed!

How do you know, like really know for sure, if it’s a good idea to business with Dan Goodman and his team at Dan Goodman Employment Advisory?
One way is to check his LinkedIn; there are a lot of great testimonials there.
Here is an even better way, to really know for sure…
Ask Dan about his family, ask him about his dog, ask him about sports. Ask him about things that are personal and not about business.
The way people conduct themselves personally carries over to their professional life.
I have been blessed to chat with Dan, a lot, about a lot of non business things.
And it’s based on those conversations that I would do business with Dan and know everything is on point and transparent.
Those non business conversations have led to me to believe and know with certainty that Dan Goodman and his Team are the best, they’re honest and thorough; no surprises, no secrets.
And they get results, with compassion, and kindness.
Don’t believe me? Ask him yourself. You’ll see.

Dan was instrumental in guiding me with the confidence, language and strategy to help recover > $60K in misappropriated commissions from my previous employer.
Dan's positive attitude and conflict aversion strategy was incredibly impactful, not only for this particular instance, but in inspiring a new way of thinking & interacting with leadership teams in a corporate setting.
At the end of our engagement, I couldn't help but feel like Dan didn't charge enough for his services. Pure value add from Dan in every step of the process.

Dan Goodman offers wisdom, practical advice, and deep knowledge from his years of experience. He was instrumental in helping me perfect my financial business model to present to a potential investor for my business, Tausi Brands. He understood the urgency of my timing and accommodated my tight schedule. I'm very grateful.

I spoke with Dan early, in 2021, after seeing his LinkedIn posts on negotiating your severance
agreement. I’d, of course, just signed one and had not seen ~ $88k of due commissions. Dan
advised, and I ended up getting ~ $25k of it.
I took advantage of Dan’s full service 2 years later when caught in a large RIF with a startup.
His program design, well thought out reasoning, and through-the-process support was a great
value. He lent what felt like years of real-world experience and expertise, and offered examples
of responses for similar and different scenarios.
After a lifetime of sales with good employers and bad, it feels as if salespeople finally have an
advocate fighting for us. A cornerman who’s been through the fights and knows how to
counterpunch, has won many of these fights versus bigger opponents with his knowledge,
beliefs and strong conviction that salespeople are equals to companies who’ve had the upper
hand for too long.
There’s no one better for salespeople to turn to when in a job end, severance situation. You
don’t have to sign away your rights and do what they want. Get Dan involved. A real expert
offering professional advice so that you can maximize what you deserve at the time it may be attained.

I was in a tricky situation after a layoff and reached out to Dan after following his posts on LinkedIn. Dan called me on a Saturday (the speed at which he reached back out was impressive) and gave me very frank, useful advice on my unique situation. The thing I appreciated most about him is he was very real and his actual on phone personality matched the tenacity he exhibits in his posts. Don't hesitate to reach out to Dan if you have been laid off or fired as he will certainly provide value to you!

I recently found myself in a challenging situation with my employer and needed expert help navigating the severance process. Dan Goodman provided exceptional support and guidance throughout the entire negotiation.
His encouragement to persevere was instrumental in achieving a very positive outcome. I secured a significantly improved severance package, including additional months of coverage and a substantial financial increase. I'm incredibly grateful for his expertise and professionalism. He not only provided valuable service but also offered genuine support during a difficult time. I highly recommend Dan to anyone facing a similar situation.

Dan Goodman is a very intelligent employment advisor. He assisted me when I had to make a decision about a new position. He suggested several negotiation points, and it allowed me to think about the future--even about my exit (although I have no plans for that). I wish I would have known about him earlier in my career because his ideas are a game changer.
