Testimonials

'Dana spoke at the University of Bath for International Women's Day 2010 to a riveted audience of mothers and women interested in maternity issues. Dana conveyed her personal experiences of changing from professional jockey to coach specialising in parents’ transitions. It was not only heart felt but an intelligent talk saying that everyone tackles maternity and return to work differently and that is fine. The one training tool that Dana fully explained in the time was appropriate and very powerful for everyone in the audience to use. After a very special talk Dana took questions from the audience really listening to their stories and facilitating group discussion and reflection. It was an excellent talk and I highly recommend any individuals to attend Dana's next speaking engagements and for businesses and organisations to strongly consider booking Dana to hear her focused insights on this important area. The more we understand and support mothers and fathers at work the more business and society will gain.'

'Seeking out some mentoring advice on coaching “returning mothers”, I was connected with Dana, who quickly set me on the right path. She clearly has a deep and structured knowledge in this area and was able to offer a number of useful perspectives and insights, drawing on both practical experience, and theoretical models. Like all good coaches, she showed me that I had many resources already to drawn on. I’m glad to have Dana as part of my professional network of coaches.' Alastair Kidd

Performance Coaching

'I found Dana's approach to coaching absolutley fascinating. She finds a way of tapping into other people's psyche and encouraging them to find all sorts of abilities and potential they never knew they had.' Sir Edward Cazelet

'I never dreamt you could get into the minds of other people the way Dana succeeds in doing. The theory behind it all is fascinating, the quiet approach, persuading people to come to their own conclusions, is obviously working'. Jack Berry, Yorkshire

Dana's strategy of supporting others to find their own way through, is the key to her success. Its been a learning curve for me to understand the various stages people go through when dealing with changes in their life. Brough Scott, The Racing Post

Career Coaching

Dana's coaching was definitely beneficial. She took me through the thought processes I needed to get through to make a decision on my next career move. Given the space to think things through, everything started to fall into place and then it clicked. Martin B, Dubai

It takes someone like Dana to listen to you and make you search inside yourself, before you can move on. Peter D, London

I was having a real downer at work and my consultations with Dana really helped me to get things in perspective. Before I definitely had tunnel vision and now there's light at the end. Gary C. Oxfordshire

I had some time on my hands unexpectedly, so I booked a consultation with Dana. It was really useful because it took me back a step to examine my motives and assess my strengths and weaknesses. I had plans, but didn't know where to start. Now I have a timetable and I know what my next step is. Joe T, Devon

Job Search Skills

Dana helped me with my CV preparation and interview techniques and that preparation was most beneficial' Lorcan W. Yorkshire

I thought I was going for a look round and a chat, then I found myself in a real interview situation. Luckily I had set aside some time for interview techniques training with Dana, otherwise I wouldn't have been as well prepared and would have stumbled over some of the key questions. Emily J. Berkshire

The interviewer didn't give me an easy time, but running through Dana's preparation in my mind, meant I wasn't completely flummoxed. It must have worked, because I got the job'. Nicola C. Peterborough

Dana's coaching gave me much more confidence going into my interview. She had asked me very similar questions in my mock interview, so I felt prepared and in control. Without this, my answers certainly would not have flowed and there would have been a lot more stuttering and hesitation on my part. Tommy P Ireland

'Thanks a million for my CV. I would definitely give myself a job after reading it!' E. Jones, Mid Glamorgan
