Joseph Leibrandt, Project Manager in Electronic Health Records Implementation
I started working with Dana because I needed help with how to go about changing careers. I think she is very gifted when it comes to understanding the needs of her clients and listening to their concerns. She had some very practical advice for my job search, but, perhaps more importantly, she was extremely encouraging to me at a time in my life when I was often tempted to just give up. My wife would always notice the change in my attitude and demeanor after my phone sessions with Dana. Thanks to her, I eventually landed a great job that I find very interesting and that I actually really like! I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for assistance to make a positive change in their life. (2015)

Experienced. Supportive. Encouraging. These are just a few of the many words that describe Dana and her approach to personal and professional coaching. I was lucky enough to work with Dana at a significant turning point in my career - a point many of us face when we come to a fork in the road and consider choosing the path less traveled. Dana not only helps you consider the big picture, she also helps you get grounded and focused on the day-to-day steps you can take to achieve small and big goals. And, she helps you celebrate each and every success along the way. Dana has an incredible ability to help you see things from new perspectives and uncover beliefs that may be holding you back. I highly recommend Dana. (2014)

Joanne Miguel, Product Strategy Director at Crossix Solutions
I started working with Dana as my personal coach this Summer and she has since been my accountability partner. I came to her with a long list of “to DOs”. Through our sessions, she has helped me sort through the clutter and focus on what is really important. She encouraged me to come up with SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely) goals , which allowed me to acknowledge and celebrate accomplishments at work and at home. Dana is always accessible and gives me honest, non-judgmental feedback, which always forces me to think, but not overthink, before I do. Working with Dana has allowed me to put things in their right place -- I even created a roadmap for my art and career and I’m always excited to share my milestones with her! (2014)

Dana is a highly insightful and compassionate coach who helped me identify and carry out meaningful and constructive personal and professional changes. She is particularly sensitive and aware of the challenges faced by women in high-tech careers. I looked forward to our weekly meetings and left each meeting feeling empowered and uplifted. I recommend her enthusiastically! (2013)
