WHAT CLIENTS SAY
— YARON BEN-ZVI, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, HAVENLIFE (OF MASSMUTUAL)
“Dana and the RELATED ExPERIENCE team really took the time to understand who we are and what was important for us to get out of the event. It showed such a thoughtful and considered approach. I so appreciated how Dana kept the entire team engaged using a combination of smaller group discussion and the presentation format to the larger group. Also, the materials and content they shared was so well researched that it really resonated with a smart group that values substance.”
— MIA JUNG, PARTNER, OXEON PARTNERS
“I appreciated the way Dana both supported and challenged me as we worked on a plan to help develop me as a leader. She shed light on areas where I was stronger than I thought, which helped build my confidence as well, and helped to focus my energy on the major development themes. I appreciated Dana's transparency and flexibility as she observed various behavioral tendencies and made suggestions/accommodations to the process. I appreciated the multitude of resources offered to accommodate different ways of learning.”
— NICOLETTE LODICO, DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT, THE FORD FOUNDATION
“Dana is unwaveringly supportive, compassionate, focused, and relatable. By the end of our first session, I knew I had found a space that was safe and challenging…. Putting [the tools and exercises from RELATED ExPERIENCE] to use during my coaching engagement was enlightening to say the least. What’s been more surprising to me is how useful those tools continue to be—more than a year after our sessions ended. My personal vision and roadmap—started during my work with Dana—continues to evolve and bring clarity to the path I will follow to achieve that vision.”
— MARCELLA FLORES, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, RESEARCH, AMFAR THE FOUNDATION FOR AIDS RESEARCH
“Dana’s approach gave our team the space and direction to make our efforts more impactful and sustainable. After our one day session, we were able to rethink and respond to our challenges with more clarity and bring a more useful and rewarding set of resources to solve our problems. In fact, we have new terminology in our department—PDE, the post-Dana effect!”
“Dana’s approach to coaching provided for thought-provoking introspection and conversation — where thoughts and challenges were expected, but more importantly, additional questions (never previously considered), were provoked. I was encouraged to disrupt the status quo, and both the organization and I are the better for it.”
— DONALD RESNICK, CHIEF ENROLLMENT & SUCCESS OFFICER, THE NEW SCHOOL
“Dana Asher brings real intelligence — intellectual and emotional and psychological — to her work. She has a breadth of experience that she can draw on, but always begins with the most pressing concerns of her client.”
