Dan Kent is a leadership coach and founder of Best Self Coaching who believes ambition doesn’t have to cost you your life. Dan and host Michi explore lonely leadership, hidden misalignment, burnout, and how founders can grow with integrity. Plus, insights from 15 years of coaching and his upcoming book Blissful Ambition.

Dan Kent helps executives, founders, and management teams build that kind of environment. One grounded in clarity, accountability, and emotional intelligence.

As the founder of Best Self Coaching, Dan Kent brings nearly three decades of business ownership and executive level leadership to his work. He’s led organizations from both the inside and outside – most recently serving as COO for a systems-integration firm serving municipal and industrial clients across California, where he developed the operational, financial, and human frameworks that make complex work run smoothly.

Whether serving as a full-time executive, fractional leader, embedded team member, or independent coach and advisor, Dan brings clarity, accountability, and strategic capacity to the leadership table.

His clients describe him as both strategic and grounding: a coach and consultant who connects the dots between structure and soul, and who can elevate a leader’s self-awareness without ever losing sight of the bottom line.
