“It’s been invaluable to work with someone who understands my industry and marries that with expertise in how organizations work, human psychology, and leadership more broadly. I’m more aware of the stories and fictions I tell myself that hold me back, so I’m better able to get out of my own way. I’ve also been able to apply Donna’s story-based techniques to many aspects of my work — from team building to product. She’s really helped me embrace opportunities that’ve made a huge difference at work and in life.”

— Alli Mooney, Head of Content & Brand, People Operations, Google

“

“Before working with Donna and Andi, we were an overworked, reactive executive team. Through learning and iterating on our leadership styles, we’ve pivoted to being intentional about how we lead. Slowing down has helped us get more done. It’s a much better work atmosphere for everyone across the board. We smile more. And we see more engagement across our company.”

— Eduardo Ortiz, Founder & CEO, Coforma

“My life is so much better after working with Donna. Before working together, I felt overwhelmed with running my growing business. Together with my team we reorganized our methods for working and communicating to enable my business to grow. Now I feel confident and am the CEO I want to be. I feel less overwhelmed, have cut back my hours, and rely on my team more.”

— Stephanie Diamond, Founder and CEO, Listings Project

— Ajay Rajani, CEO, Core Labs
