ABOUT DANA POUL-GRAF

Dana is a cross-disciplinary consultant, mentor, and coach who helps leaders discover their authentic paths, engage their teams, establish great cultures, and live their strategies.

Throughout her career, which spans industries and companies of various sizes, Dana observed the essential impact of a leader’s self-awareness. Quickly promoted into increasingly responsible roles, she realized that the quality of an organization’s leadership is its key success factor—no matter how excellent the strategy, how well-defined the solutions, or how valuable the services. She also realized that many leaders might feel as she did: Isolated and missing a partner to act as a mirror, help her think, and implement the results of the process.

Guided by empathy, creativity, and a deep honoring of others, she partners with clients to find the meaning in what we, as humans, do. Dana and her team look below the surface to re-ignite the passion that connects teams and triggers positive change. When you work with Dana, engagement and productivity increase, and sustainable environments form. Dana’s key values are honesty, fairness, love, and care.
