Client reviews:

I have been “stuck” professionally and emotionally since my redundancy at a big bank for over 9 months. My job search was not going anywhere. My self-esteem and self worth were rapidly deteriorating. I could not see a way out. Through Dana’s transformational coaching sessions I managed to turn things around, define my goals more clearly, commit to specific actions, sometimes re-calibrate my plan along the way, but move forward. In the end, I landed a great job I was looking for long time. 

Dana really helped me. She listened carefully, with compassion, really trying to understand my problems. From the early sessions we developed actionable steps that would help me stick to the plan. She has a very keen sense spotting the issues and kindly formulating potential solutions, be it reframing or suggesting actions. She helped break down the maze of my professional doubts. I could see things more clearly about myself, my prior achievements and my real goals. 
I really enjoyed our sessions and you helped me a lot. Thank you for your work and all the help!

——————————————

While new to the executive coaching experience, the first session proved to be invaluable in my mindset and approach to the new CTO role. As I'm transitioning, I appreciate the safe and open environment for me to share both my concerns and aspirations. Your empathetic approach, listening skills, and ability to adapt to my cues allowed me to feel comfortable discussing my thoughts and led to a productive conversation. 

Key takeaways:
- The idea of first defining quite clearly my bigger goals for various timelines in the roles, and breaking them down into smaller, more achievable ones. More importantly, you helped me unlock my own unique style of vision, planning, and working towards milestones, which gives me a sense of confidence in managing the aspects of the role. This process has led to the creation of both formal and informal documents that allow me to look over the projects with a wider perspective. 
- The strategies you provided have been essential to improving tech operations, By implementing some suggestions, I have noticed a positive shift in the way I communicate with my team, delegate tasks, and manage my time. This has resulted in increased personal efficiency, which in turn contributes time to other goals.
- Personally, it has been key to implement the mindset changes you suggested. Positive language, inflating ideas of the self. Something I come back to often, I appreciate this. 

The session was well-tailored, even to myself being new to the experience. Your ability to adjust coaching style based on needs was key for making it effective. I look forward to our continued collaboration, and I am excited to see how your coaching will continue to impact my professional development.

Thank you for your time and dedication to your craft.

Incredible coaching experience with Dana. During our first coaching session it was very powerful where we’ve managed to identify clear goals and make decision that I felt deeply connected, but it was a lot of hesitation and uncertainty. Dana made me feel comfortable and her gently yet firm approach established  great trust and we were able to go deeper and explored new perspectives to do more.

She helped me tackle stress, set career goals, and eventually secure my job in London as a PR manager. 
Grateful to work with Dana.
