Daniel Batten

Daniel Batten is founder and principal at Beyond The Ceiling. He is an author, messaging specialist and trainer.

He enjoys helping professionals or organisations to achieve “beyond the ceiling” performance without changing “who you are”.

The sort of people that hire Daniel often come with the problem “I have this product/ idea/ cause – but the minute I open my mouth, people’s eyes glaze over.”

Daniel likes challenging assignments. For example, as founder and CEO of Biomatters, Daniel put in place the sales & marketing systems, investment deals and team that have seen the company grow into 65 export markets. Other companies where he has had successful engagements that have contributed to growth include Peace Software and The Optima Corporation.

Daniel holds a MA(Hons) in English from Auckland University. His thesis bridged linguistics and management science to reveal how authentic behaviour was a root cause of higher conversation quality, and improved output.
