About Dan and Beverly Feldt

Dan and Beverly Feldt, the founders of Workplace, help companies develop training that sticks – adult learning with lasting impact.

They’ve worked with companies across a wide range of industries: manufacturing, financial, health care, education, and consulting. For all of their clients, they’ve created unforgettable learning that soaks deep into the organization.

  Dan Feldt’s extensive background as an actor and director (BFA, University of Illinois; MFA, Ohio University) convinced him that live, interactive theatre is the most powerful tool for adult learning. In 1986, Dan began to work as a consultant and program designer for corporate training. Over the next twelve years, he developed and refined his own techniques for using “interactors” to create maximum impact in learning.

Dan credits his theatre work for his skill in collaboration, his ability to listen to clients and work with them to create programs that achieve their goals.

Dan’s the “idea man,” a brilliant designer who is constantly creating innovative new ways to use what he calls “the best communications technology ever invented.”

Beverly Feldt brings her passion for learning and teaching, along with her own theatre and writing experience (BFA, University of Illinois), to Workplace. She began using her playwriting abilities for corporate training in 1995, and today writes much of Workplace’s material. She started facilitating programs in 1997.

Skilled in theatre improvisation (she studied with the late, legendary Del Close at Second City), Bev has a lively, integrative facilitation style that reflects her many years of stage experience. Clients have called her classroom work “wonderful,” “brilliant,” and “perceptive.”

Dan and Bev add to their own skills with a “virtual company” of instructional designers, facilitators, subject matter experts – and, of course, their interactors, all working professional actors specially trained in Workplace's techniques.
