About Dan Ziegler

Equipping Generational Leaders | Awakening Hearts Across Generations

My Story

Hi, I’m Dan Ziegler—husband, father, grandpa, coach, and disciple of Jesus.

For over 20 years, I’ve led teams, built businesses, raised a family, and mentored emerging leaders across industries and generations. But my greatest lesson? True leadership begins with the heart.

Years ago, I faced a literal heart crisis that changed everything. What began as a health scare turned into a spiritual awakening—a call to live fully surrendered, deeply present, and committed to helping others experience the same.


That moment wasn’t the end of something.

It was the beginning of a movement.

Why I Started The Daniel Ziegler Co?

This business was born from a calling: to equip people to thrive—at home, at work, and in their walk with God.

Under this umbrella, I serve three types of leaders:


Influence & Impact: Emerging leaders and professionals

Thriving Families: Parents raising the next generation

Everything I do is grounded in biblical truth, behavioral science

(DISC), and real-world experience—designed to help people lead with clarity, communicate with confidence, and grow with purpose.

Why Awakening Hearts Was Born

Awakening Hearts is more than a brand—it’s a move of God.

It began with a simple prayer: “God, break my heart for what breaks Yours.”


Today, it’s a message for a generation hungry for truth but tired of religion. It’s a call to repentance, restoration, and revival—starting not in churches, but in hearts, homes, and everyday lives.

This is the heartbeat behind:

This is not about me.
This is about Jesus awakening His Church—one heart at a time.

What I Believe

  • Leadership is about influence, not position.

  • Families thrive when parents lead with grace and authority.

  • Transformation is possible—but it starts with the condition of the heart.

  • The next revival won’t come from a stage... but from the kitchen table.

  • You were created on purpose, for a purpose—and the world needs your voice.

Whether you’re here to grow as a parent, a professional, or a Kingdom leader—I'm honored to walk with you. Take You Next Step
