About Dale Roberts
A Multi-Vocational Professional Life Coach and Handwriting AnalystCertified Professional Life Coach
With all of the unusual accomplishments Dale has achieved during his lifetime, from a successful career as a financial advisor, to professional speaking, to commercial acting, to handwriting analysis, Dale has always had the sense that there was something more he was "called" to do.
That call began to become clear when a door opened for Dale in 2003, with the opportunity to experience a life-planning process, an intense two day, one-on-one session with a trained facilitator based on a couple popular books. A life-planning process takes a person deep into exploration of one's life purpose. Dale was so intrigued by that process that he became a life-planning facilitator himself. He conducted a number of life-planning sessions over the next decade and clients embraced the process, with varying degrees of success in "living out" their own life plan. Those most successful in implementing their life plans also had the benefit of structured accountability and ongoing "coaching."
In 2014, Dale began training with the Professional Christian Coaching Institute, and became a Certified Professional Life Coach in 2017. He currently holds the credential of ACC (Associate Certified Coach) from the International Coaching Federation. Dale utilizes his forty years experience as a handwriting analyst to bring the additional "write insights" to his clients.
Here’s what Dale says about his calling – Professional Life Coaching:
"Coaching" is all about transformational change – discovering the purposes for which you were born, using the ‘gifts’ and talents you've been given, and bringing them to the fruition of a life of significance that has been well lived.
Regardless of the ‘season of life’ you are currently in: mid-life, empty nest, pre-retirement, or post-retirement, that next season is just around the corner and will be here faster than you think.
It's my passion, pleasure and calling to bring you all the tools I have learned over the past 40 years to help you transform your own life into the one you were meant to live.
I love to communicate: listening, talking, interacting at a deep personal yet professional level. My greatest blessings come from interacting with and building into people. And I hope that your life, your relationships, and your business will all be better because you've invited me into them.”

Handwriting Analyst
Dale has been a professional handwriting
analyst since 1982, but it all began in 1976 when his own handwriting was analyzed as part of the employee selection process for a major financial services company. He was so impressed and intrigued by the accuracy of the report, he wanted to learn more. When Dale met Father Anthony Becker, a priest who held a PhD in Clinical Psychology and was also a Master Graphologist and past president of the American Association of Handwriting Analysts, Dale jumped at the opportunity to learn from him. He also co-authored the book "Handwriting Analysis 101" with Pat Peterson, the late renowned internationally known graphologist.
Dale has analyzed literally thousands of handwriting samples for individuals seeking personal growth and insights, as well as employers seeking to know their applicants and employees better. Large corporations hire him to draw people to their booths at trade shows and conferences, to build relationships with and improve communication among their top management teams, and to build and foster relationships with current and potential customers.
Many people find handwriting analysis a fascinating topic. Since 1987, Dale has presented his "Write Insights" program to dozens of groups and associations around the country. Government agencies like the Social Security Administration and FDIC, as well as civic groups and corporate clients have utilized his services. Local law enforcement, law firms, and security companies have called on Dale for help with questioned documents.
Dale’s ability to communicate what handwriting means in an educational yet entertaining way has brought him attention from the media. He's been interviewed for numerous magazine and newspaper articles, and has been a guest on radio and television programs such as Chicago's WGN-Radio and ABC's "Windy City Live".
