Living “Shit Show Adjacent”

By Dana Gallagher in Blog Tag Leadership, Nervous System Regulation, VUCA

Collaborative, Accountability-enabling, Impact-focused are just a few things that come to mind when I think of my experience with Dana Gallagher as my executive coach. No description will ever really effectively and comprehensively capture the value of her partnership in the journey toward one's most authentic and valuable self but in my experience with her, this was the foundation of what has led to so much more!

"Dana is a wonderful coach! I don't think that I could've made this transition [to executive leadership] as smoothly or as quickly as I have if I were not coaching with her. I have recommended Dana many times and will continue to recommend her to anyone I know that needs to gain clarity and/or confidence to achieve their professional goals. I couldn't imagine ever recommending anyone more highly!"

Since working with Dana, I have experienced a heightened self-awareness not just of opportunities for improvement, but more importantly, opportunities to reinforce my own strengths and show up more intentionally in all that I do. From our very first exchange, I felt heard, seen, understood and at the same time appropriately challenged, equipped with perspective, and empowered with valuable models to apply as I work through challenges in the short-term and prioritize strategies for long-terms wins in my area of influence and expertise.
