Celebrating Educators
As a former teacher in K-12 and higher education, Teacher Fan Club is my own 'positively disruptive' project. It's the first-of-its-kind hub dedicated to celebrating and supporting educators (and their fans).
Who better to help recognize these morally ambitious leaders than fellow changemakers like you!
I invite you to join us in the fan club.
Collaborations
What fellow disruptors are saying
"Empowered me to deepen my connection with myself."
Dana walked me from a place of overwhelm into a renewed sense of energy and hope through small shifts that felt approachable. Working with Dana connected me to a world of wellbeing resources, and empowered me to deepen my connection with myself. I can walk forward from a place of groundedness and clarity.
"Your work will be forever impacted."
I learned more from a few hours with Dana than I have in years of University! She is able to explain different practices around wellbeing in a way that is simple, practical, and impactful. If you are lucky enough to cross paths with Dana, your work will be forever impacted!
"It’s always really exciting to work with her — an energizing rush from beginning to end."
Dana is a first-class consultant, visionary, and critical thinker ... she’s one of those rare collaborators you want to turn to time and again, because the process and the end product are sure to dazzle.
"Dana helped me see a new way forward that feels like ME!"
When Dana walked me through my human design, it changed everything. I was going a million different directions, and none of them felt right. Dana helped me see a new way forward that feels like ME!
