"CULTURE IS WHAT PEOPLE DO.... WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING".

Culture needs to be defined and nurtured as it grows and evolves. To build and drive a cohesive culture across your organization, you need to align values, behaviors, and processes to create a workplace where people feel connected to the mission and empowered to contribute. Most of all, there is consistency in what you say and what you do.

In building and reinforcing culture, areas to look at include:

  • ​​Communication from the top

  • Key processes for decision making

  • Performance management and compensation; feedback loops

  • Career Development & training

  • Strategic signals around the office 

  • "I have worked with Dana for 19 years and she is a master at her craft. She is not only an expert architect in talent development and talent management strategies, but also her impact as a coach and mentor is equally powerful. Her ability to translate incisive observations into actionable strategies has enabled me to expand my leadership capacity and grow as an executive. I would not be the professional I am without her."

    —Paul De Martini, Chief Investment Officer, Griffin Capital Company, Los Angeles

  • "I can't recommend Dana more highly for executive coaching, and support navigating the challenges of modern senior leadership. Dana is clever, compassionate, and a creative lateral thinker. Her leadership and professional coaching helped me mature as a leader myself and enabled me to flourish to my fullest potential within a culture that was new to me and not necessarily what I had experienced before."

    —Michaella Solar-March, Chief Marketing Officer, Two Trees Management Co.

  • "Do you want to discover what makes you tick as a professional? Learn how to survive—and thrive—in the scrum of a complex workplace? Then I hope you will do what I did: get Dana as your coach. She transformed me at work and in life. "

    —Jeff Mandel, Managing Partner, Group11
