When it’s time to achieve new heights as a leader.
EXECUTIVE Leadership
Executive leadership requires a strategic mindset, a deep understanding of team dynamics, and the ability to communicate effectively, inspire confidence, and build trust. Our work together will help you up-level your leadership skills and develop the self-awareness needed to inspire and guide your team toward achieving your goals. I also share honest feedback with practical techniques, frameworks, and tools tailored to your needs, enabling you to become an effective and strategic leader.
My clients are corporate executives and business owners who value me as a trusted advisor and sounding board. They appreciate my ability to understand their unique challenges and provide guidance and support that helps them achieve their goals in complex business environments.
Women in leadership
More women are moving into leadership roles. This is excellent news! It also comes with many unique challenges and choices that many women don’t discuss openly. My approach helps businesswomen navigate these complexities while also being true to who they are and their leadership style.
New Leaders
It takes a LOT to move into a new role. Whether you are a first-time leader in corporate or a startup leader building a team, you and I work together to head off the problems you will face as a new leader before they pop up. You will learn the tactics of what it takes to get off to a great start and lead a team…PLUS strategic tips about how to step into your next level of leadership.
Integrated Approach
The coaching process brings together leadership coaching and business/HR consulting support. Your sessions will offer a customized blend of building new leadership and team skills, addressing real-time challenges with accountability and sounding board support.
The integrated coaching-consulting approach helps you strategize behind the scenes and make tough decisions to ensure your business vision becomes a reality.
Your Team Also Benefits
““You are magical. I don’t know how you did it. Your work with my leader has completely changed how we communicate and work as a team. Our numbers are showing it too. I love my job again! I’m back in the game. Thank you.””
Why do I put extra effort into helping leaders in new roles?
It is because I have been there multiple times! Over the past 30 years, I have moved 11 times across the U.S. and globally. Each time that included starting a new job or expanding my business. I know how exhilarating it is to take on the next leadership challenge in a new city or country. I ALSO know how exhausting, frustrating, and overwhelming it can be, especially when you are doing it without enough proper support. That is why this work is personal to me.
I help you navigate behind the scenes SO THAT you can be your best in front of your team.

““I think Dana is part of the vanguard of thinkers in business that are bold enough to lead with their heads as well as their hearts. It’s becoming more apparent (and accepted) that mind and spirit are at play in business, and both need to be fed and nurtured to be successful. ””
