Dana was an amazing speaking coach who took the time to help me while I was preparing to give a important talk in another country on a topic I'm really passionate about! She gave practical advice and was a great person to work with both virtually and in-person.

Dana helped me prepare for my TEDx talk, You Can Eat Your Cake And Have Enlightenment Too. I had to learn my talk by heart which made me super nervous as I am really bad at it. I have also recovered from a severe stutter in my childhood, which made me even more nervous to speak in public. Dana coached me step by step using her proven method, with writing the script to my talk, to learning the talk by heart, and then practicing intonation, movement during the talk and engagement with the audience. Dana's process was simple and allowed me to move forward a step at a time. In addition, Dana was sensitive to my challenges, supportive, encouraging, and had a healthy sense of humor. I loved working with her. The result, I rocked my talk. I was confident and projected my presence and power during my talk.
