Dustin thinks outside of the box when it comes to operational, financial, and marketing-driven tasks in business. Throughout our time together, Dustin has helped ensure systematic changes in my business are done in a way that creates scalable, lasting change.

I reached out to Dustin and his colleagues to help me with my own business, I had a goal to get my company running without the constant need for my personal management. This was a tall task considering the variables in my industry. Dustin and his colleagues have been nothing short of miracle workers! They have helped us build systems from the ground up, putting accountability and structure in place. They have been instrumental in hiring and improving our staff. I have fully trusted Dustin with my company and staff, and he has far exceeded expectations!

I met Dustin over a decade ago through our involvement with the burn survivor community. I worked as a Program Director with the Professional Fire Fighters of WI Charitable Foundation (PFFWCF) while Dustin was the President of The Wise Foundation. He presented a well-thought-out plan for a national Young Adult Burn Survivor Conference (YABC) – the first of its kind – and I couldn’t ignore his passion and persistence for involvement in the program. Together, we convinced the PFFWCF Board to partner with the program and successfully launched the national YABC.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dustin, and his program staff from 2011 to 2019. By utilizing evidence-based practice, they partnered with survivors and their families, healthcare professionals, Burn Centers, and other Foundations / Companies to support recovery, provide psychoeducational teaching, and offer ways for the Burn Survivors to improve their quality of life after enduring such a traumatic event. Through their leadership skills, creativity, and innovation we were able to improve and develop Aftercare Programs and launch a new program.

I had the opportunity to collaborate with Dustin Haywood through his young adult program that provided a service to survivors of traumatic disabling burn injuries. Through Dustin’s innovative leadership, his organization was able to provide a platform that promoted emotional wellness and a positive self-image. Individuals engaged in the program were equipped with resources and life skills to overcome their journey of recovery. Dustin Haywood is a cutting edge thought leader. When corporate challenges and problems present without solutions, his team can implement a detailed plan of action for targeted outcomes.
