The absolute sense of safety, her ability to tackle anything that comes up, her flexibility—all within an atmosphere of utmost trust and understanding. Thank you so much, Dana. 🙏”

Martin Howlings

“I’m relatively new to personal branding. I’ve been behind the computer screen for many many years and I step forward and I started to brand myself quite recently. I didn’t fully understand that I had an opportunity to push my own personality in quite the way that I thought I could. One of the things that I will think about in the future is when I’m making posts to LinkedIn or when I’m presenting I’ll make sure that those things are as close to my personal commitments as possible. I think it’s very powerful knowledge. It’s very important to make sure I stay authentic.”

Nina and Dana gave a captivating presentation packed full of insights and actionable tips. There were also helpful question and answer sheets to guide attendees in defining their own personal branding journey. I’ve now started implementing the learnings and have every intention of continuing to do so. My thanks to Nina and Dana.”
