Dana is calm when the rest of us get flustered. She is a master at being present and noticing what is happening in the group in the moment. She lives from the center of her heart and cares about each person she meets and works with. How do I know? You can't fake that. It's such a rare gift to be in the presence of someone with this degree of centeredness and groundedness. I imagine that she can step into any facilitation or hosting team and co-create. I have personally experienced co-hosting on 2 different teams with her for multiple events and days and she is a joy to work with. She brings expertise, mastery, modeling, creativity, framework, methodology, and teaching in addition to presence when she joins a team.
