Testimonials

“Dana and I met working together years ago at Red Bull and I was always struck by her ability to rally, inspire and develop people. Fast forward a few years as she started her new venture and I’ve had her come on board three times now - Red Bull, Gatorade and now Tonal - to help facilitate team building offsites with the ultimate goal of building high-performing and happy teams. The agenda varies depending on the needs of the group, which we shape together, and each time I’ve received raving reviews from those involved. Highly recommend!”

“Dana’s team building workshop was the most engaging session I have had with a brand team. Her ability to bring in relevant examples, speak our CPG language, and keep the team focused was impeccable. She picked the right mix of activities to be relevant and engaging across levels and delivered immediate value to our ways of working. Her infectious energy gave our team life long after we signed off the Zoom.”

“Engaged Dana to facilitate a leadership session with my team and she exceeded our expectations. When I approached Dana with the desired outcomes of such a session, I couldn’t imagine she would pull together a perfect session that not only met our goals but allowed us to expand beyond what we could have imagined. The two hour session was action packed, interactive, engaging and had the right amount of humor, music and self reflection moments. If you leave a session like this craving for more- you know your coach has hit all the right notes. Thank you Dana.- you are exceptional and your support has set us up for success in 2021”

“What I greatly appreciated about working with Dana was how much time she devoted to tailoring the content to our specific audiences’ needs. In order to prepare our MBA students for their summer internships, Dana created and facilitated a three part workshop series that helped students understand how to create a professional presence in a virtual environment, how to build relationship intelligence, and how to create stronger connections through communication. Her engaging delivery quickly made participants feel comfortable and it was clear to the attendees that she was invested in their success. I will definitely be bringing Dana back for future workshop needs.”

“Highly recommend working with Dana!

Dana planned and facilitated a Presentation Skills training for our team. A few teammates called it the most useful training they’ve done in years. In planning, Dana listened to our needs and put together a proposal that was spot on re: what we wanted to accomplish; throughout our time working together Dana was on top of everything — thorough, thoughtful, asked the right questions, full of energy and humor. The training itself received high marks from the team — engaging, really practical to integrate in our day to day work, and extremely beneficial having small group breakouts where we gave presentations and received feedback from the coaches and our colleagues.

She set up a debrief a few weeks after the experience — a sign of her commitment to her work and always looking for feedback to make the next one even better. Thanks for delivering impact to our team!”

“Dana led a presentation and workshop on “Owning Your Communication and Elevating Your Presence” for the women’s employee resource group at my organization and it was a highlight of our programming. Our members immediately connected with Dana and her coaching style and engagement on the call was high. Dana was able to turnaround a highly professional, customized, and productive session with little time - 100% we will be inviting her back!”

“After my promotion, more than half of my team were working remotely and I knew I needed to sharpen my virtual leadership skills. One week after my promotion, even my in-office team members were working from home due to the pandemic. Enter Dana and her Effective Virtual Meetings workshop! Dana facilitated this workshop with me and my direct reports and all came away with tangible next steps to drive clarity, connection and engagement as we work remotely - now and in the future!”

“While working on ways to drive development for our team, Dana’s name was recommended multiple times as an excellent coaching facilitator - and she delivered. We were focused on upleveling our team’s skills in building business cases, and while working with Dana to develop the training, she asked many insightful questions and was extremely collaborative to ensure she was bringing a product that delivered exactly what we were looking for. The workshops were engaging, informative, interactive and energetic. Her facilitation style is commanding, yet makes you feel immediately comfortable & excited and puts you in a mindset of wanting to learn. Our team had nothing but glowing reviews for Dana - a rarity when bringing someone in from outside the organization. Additionally, we began working with Dana in November to build the training, but due to the pandemic - we were unsure if it was actually going to come to fruition because we were worried that a virtual training may not be as impactful. That was not the case. Dana pitched us a new virtual structure, and our team loved it. While we asked Dana to help us with business cases, her offerings are vast and I am positive we will be working with her in the future for other development needs. Can’t recommend her highly enough - she is the epitome of a well-rounded, strategic, and personable professional. Thanks, Dana!”

Whether we are discussing how to improve my leadership, empower my team, or manage as a working mom of 2, she has continue to help me grow as a professional. I am very appreciative of our time, and consistently look forward to it.”

“Dana designed and led a workshop for a group of 50 MBA students and alums that served as the launch of our women’s mentorship program. She has a remarkable ability to engage audiences and nurture deep discussion. Her energy lit up the room— especially impressive given that our evening event took place after many of the students had spent the day taking exams. We heard great feedback from our participants, who left feeling connected to their community and empowered with tactical tools that will serve them for years to come.”

“Dana came to our company retreat and lead a 3 hour workshop for our firm.

This was all done in a fun and comfortable atmosphere of learning and exercises.”

“Dana has led two team-building workshops for us, which she tailored to our needs. She brings her A-game every time whether in-person or virtual (we’ve done both).

I’m impressed by her ability to engage everyone, while actively listening and making insightful observations that deepen the conversation at hand. She’ll probe, follow-up, and build...and our team is better for it!”

She truly wants to show up and give the team actionable nuggets to put to use in their daily careers and life! Thank you Dana for a customized program that made our analytics team excited to continue being high performers!”

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Dana as a colleague, personal coach and team facilitator for over 10 years. As long as I’ve worked with her, Dana has been a magnetic and inspirational leader and her secret sauce is a combination of authenticity, candor and sharp wits that can quickly breakdown barriers. In such a busy and complicated time in the workplace, I’ve been impressed with the speed with which she can diagnose and help individuals or teams tackle the most complex issues.

Her energy and passion for helping individuals and teams achieve their goals is contagious and I’ve been lucky to have her at various points in my professional journey. I would highly recommend and can personally vouch for her expertise as a career coach, facilitator or brand expert.”

As a culture led organization, Dana was easily able to develop a continuity with our team through her truly authentic style. This resulted in highly productive and interactive coaching sessions. Looking forward to continuing to work with Dana in the future!! Would HIGHLY Recommend!”

“Dana has taken on the challenge of coaching the Global Experiential team at Activision. We started talking about the goals of the team, then Dana laid out a well thought out and thorough strategy, and finally we agreed on the tactics of our first annual team summit. We look forward to growing with Dana and building toward a tremendous future.”

“Went to Dana begging for suggestions on how to get my (now virtual) team to communicate better. She did a great job of suggesting, organizing and facilitating a workshop series that the team actually enjoyed(!) and is now deploying on a daily basis. I couldn’t be higher on recommending Dana to facilitate a workshop for your organization. She will be my go-to for years to come!”

“I met Dana when she facilitated an event for FEME (Female Executives in Media and Entertainment). Her style was so effective and engaging, I decided on the spot that I had to bring her to FOX where I Co-Chair the women’s Colleague and Network Resource Group, Women@FOX. She and her colleague, Lee, designed and led two workshops for 50 of our members on “Professional Presence and Interacting with Intention and Impact.” Dana has a warm, funny and relatable style that instantly disarmed the audience and facilitated a meaningful and inspiring discussion. We received wonderful feedback from our members, who were left asking for more. I highly recommend her and Organic Communication.”

“Dana is one of the first people I called when I began my new role at Ralph Lauren. I asked her to facilitate my first quarterly team all hands. I wanted someone who could inspire a team of people who hadn’t been together in person since many of them had been hired, and Dana brings immense energy to a room that is incredibly palpable. I wanted someone who could bridge leadership coaching with functional skills training in marketing, and Dana has deep expertise in both that she weaves together beautifully. I wanted someone who I could work with over the long term to help my team grow into an expanding remit, and Dana has a deep understanding of core business objectives + team dynamics that is unmatched. Her grasp of where you want to go with your team and how to get there is uncanny. I could not recommend Dana more highly. She’s truly a gem.”

“Dana facilitated a discussion that a nonprofit I run put on and did a fantastic job. She consistently surpassed my expectations with her professionalism, sensitivity and insight, which resulted in an extremely productive discussion and an event that earned raves from all attendees. Due to her efforts, the conversation was lively and flowed seamlessly, and some surprising and extremely useful breakthroughs were made. We had about 18 leaders of entertainment industry ERGs, with some of the attendees very senior level, and Dana was able to effectively encourage all to enthusiastically participation in the discussion, the best outcome for all. We definitely plan to use Dana again for future events.”

“I first met Dana at a Leadership workshop a few months ago. I was so impressed by her A+ humor and enthusiasm that I couldn’t wait to invite her back and provide a High-Performance session for my team. No surprise that Dana and her partner Drew did a fantastic job! I had the chance to work closely with Dana from start to end and I’ve got to say that her success is Not an accident but a result of years of accumulated hard work. I would highly recommend Dana to anyone as she is the best you could dream of!”

“Dana facilitated an amazing workshop for my team. We left with a clear understanding of each other’s communication strengths and styles, and with a roadmap of how we will become a high performance team moving forward. Each of my direct reports (individually and unsolicited) have told me how much they liked and appreciated the content. Highly recommend!”

“Dana knows her stuff. I was in search of guidance and a sounding board as I prepared a facilitation for a group. She helped me streamline my approach and outline to make it much more impactful - changes I would never have thought to make myself. If you’re in need of a comms expert to take your project up 10 notches, Dana is your person.”

She has a confidence and persona that made it easy to relate to and work with her, and left me with the confidence to move forward and with skills that will serve me in the future.”

“Dana is a fantastic coach. She recently helped me work through creating a compelling story for a strategic initiative I needed to speak on behalf in front of a large audience. She has the ability to make you feel comfortable within seconds of talking to her and really works to understand your objectives in order to help you achieve your end goal. With her techniques and creative thought process, she enabled me to really create the story on my own with guidance and feedback from her end. This left me feeling confident in my content and ready for the presentation.”
