At the same time she has helped me identify my strengths and be confident with them.

I truly recommend Dana as a Coach and appreciate her spending this time with me.

Je recommande chaleureusement son expertise et ses qualités humaines.

September 2017

Deb Ruick, Managing Director, Merrill Edge

Even a coach needs a coach… As a financial executive and life coach, I have collected models, methods and tools to effectively partner with clients. But when the coach is the client, it is difficult to allow your vulnerability to be examined. Dana is masterful in creating an environment of support, intellectual curiosity, authentic caring yet the firmness to hold accountability and forward movement.

Results … Lightness of heart, excitement for the possibilities and FUN is now a daily feeling vs. an occasional event!

I met Dana at the “Emerging Talent Development Center” held for us by my company through Heidrick & Struggles in Paris. I was very lucky and had Dana as my coach during the 2 days program. Dana is the best! she gave me a different point of view and with her help I was able to recognize where I could improve myself. One of my main areas of concern was how to better influence people without being too nice or too hard on them. She totally opened my eyes on this, as the old adage goes, “you don’t know what you don’t know until you know it!”. I would gladly recommend Dana to organizations and/or leadership professionals seeking professional coaching.

Dana is a great coach, a genuine listener and generous with her time, knowledge and insight.

Winfried Jansen , General Manager International Business, Philips HealthTech

I have had the luxury to be coached by Dana during various sessions recently, as part of my Adaptive Leadership program. Her coaching style, supported with her competencies, triggered a lot of new thoughts and learnings with me, which I am able to use in my daily work and life in a broader sense. I see (and other people do recognise similar) the difference in the way I interact with people to the benefit of the relation and to the success of the company.

Dana shows a deep interest in what is driving you and aims to find out how to become more effective by asking the right questions and from that providing you with different insights. This is certainly what I have experienced. She does this in a pleasant way and is able to connect and switch easily between various theoretic models and how to apply these practically.

A Great and Effective Experience and thanks again Dana for the lessons learned and time spent together. For sure I will recommend you (like I am doing already) to many others as well!

Director ELM, Saudi Arabia

With the new strategy co-created with Dana to empower the team, I implemented the actions of letting them take the lead and spent most of my time listening, restructuring tasks, and giving the required authorization to take decisions without the need to refer to me.  I was not believing the results in this very short time, my team astonished me with their ability to judge critical situations and take some important décisions.

Debra Ruick. Director, Global Financial Institution (Former Vice President at Fidelity Investments)

Having recently been promoted to an executive position within an international brokerage firm, I would like to thank Dana for partnering with me to achieve this goal with ease. Structures established during our coaching sessions have helped me move into a space of calmness, presence and confidence in this new, more strategic role. It is amazing what minor adjustments have done to deepen professional relationships, increase confidence and effectiveness, and enhance the performance in both myself and my team.

Dana has unique insight into what motivates people and what makes them happiest.

Personally, Dana helped me refocus my efforts into a more financially rewarding and definitely more fulfilling career path, while pushing me to keep the balance in my life. Years after our initial meeting, I continue to refer to Dana again and again and highly endorse her.

Director. Singapore Government-Linked Organization

Dana did a thorough understanding of my profile prior to the coaching. She helped me establish the links between different assessments, how my strengths can be put to good use in improving relationships with bosses and direct reports, and how to turn weaknesses into positive energies.

Sylvie Robles

Although I didn’t have a specific goal at the beginning of our coaching relationship, it quickly became evident that working on developing my interpersonal skills would be beneficial.

Not only did coaching with Dana help improve my communication with others, but it also helped uncover some underlying beliefs and self-imposed limitations which were holding me back from leading a fulfilling life.

My eyes were opened to professional opportunities that were staring me in the face. The process has given me the courage to listen to my inner wisdom, the clarity to design an efficient path to my ultimate goals, and the confidence to execute right actions with conviction.

Head of Research. Government-linked National Development Organisation

Dana is a fabulous coach who has greatly assisted me in the process of self-discovery. Our coaching sessions helped build awareness around my unique abilities and true north. A good overall coaching approach with the right balance of support and challenge to build a trusting relationship and speed results.

In life you are never alone and you should never be alone. In my personal endeavor to become a better person and better leader at work, I was fortunate to have engaged a professional coach like Dana. She provides sound advice and helped me develop my life compass. Through her coaching techniques, I have learnt to be more aware of my leadership style and gaps. This awareness helped me to prioritize and develop a plan to work on the gaps. Dana is a solid, reliable and effective coach who I would strongly recommend to any executive who wants to challenge themselves to up their ante in the corporate game. Thank you so much for everything.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the 2 coaching sessions I had with her as part of my 360 Feedback. She has helped me identify which areas I need to concentrate on to improve. At the same time she has helped me identify my strengths and be confident with them.

I truly recommend Dana as a Coach and appreciate her spending this time with me.

Always feel great after coaching with Dana. The sessions provide relevant insights to strategic planning and development

Carlos Guiteras Mestres, Entrepreneur

As the former CEO of Aalberts Industries Material Technologies, Spain, my initial fear was that an increasing work load would overtake my life – to the detriment of other essential elements. Coaching with Dana helped me design structures to manage precious time and keep my life in balance. Relationships with my family have improved, my health is on the upswing, and my professional performance is better than ever. The energy and direction provided in our sessions still motivate me today.

Lori Enders, Office Manager at U.S. Department of State

Dana provided much needed community services to Mission employees and families at the U.S. Embassy in Luanda, Angola during our time together there. Luanda was (and still is) a very difficult place to live, especially as a member of the expat community. Dana was very active in helping new arrivals navigate and integrate the new culture by providing cross-cultural integration workshops, orientation projects, and confidential coaching services. Luanda was my first overseas assignment and Dana helped to make it a positive experience.

Shyama Sukumaran, General Manager. Value Management. MAXIS Telecommunications

When I was first introduced to the idea of utilizing an executive coach, I wasn’t really sure what to expect or what benefits I would get from it. However, after working with Dana over the course of several months, she really impressed me with her fabulous leadership. I was able to better understand my personal strengths and opportunities and put together a game plan to make improvements in my professional and personal life. Dana’s organized approach and feedback enabled me to realize my potential and put together a very targeted approach to reach my goals. Dana was also instrumental in working with my peers toward a common set of goals. Today, I consider her a great friend and someone that I know that I can rely on for excellent advice in tough situations. I strongly recommend Dana for any coaching programs that she has to offer – she is really outstanding!

Michelle WEN, EVP Global Purchasing, EXCO, Groupe PSA

I had the pleasure and honor to meet Dana during our MBA studies. Dana is a professional who is energetic, active and has excellent communication skills with people.

Charlotte Webster, Global Journalist. Anthropology Masters Candidate

Having recently left my previous professional position to relocate to Brunei with my husband, I was considering starting a Masters degree in Anthropology. At the time, I was not confident in my ability to manage the research – I could only see obstacles and potential problems.Through coaching with Dana, I discovered that there was a solution to each issue. Instead of focusing on problems, we concentrated on my strengths and drew up a schedule in terms of goals, priorities and actions. I even identified and was energized to achieve related goals which were important to me at that time.

Karan Bagga, Board Director, PMI

I was fortunate to have worked with Dana as my Professional Coach as part of PMI’s Leadership Institute Master Class. Her tips, open discussion about modern day challenges, leadership requirements and investment of time in developing my personal leadership and communication skills along with the encouragement she provided to me were invaluable.

Dana is a great coach, a genuine listener and generous with her time, knowledge and insight. I thoroughly enjoyed how she challenged me and how we reviewed a past event and were able to plan and get the desired outcome by adapting a different style of communication. She is delightful to work with and I recommend her highly for Executive coaching.
