Founder & Chief Inspirer, INSPIRE
Hi, I’m Dana. I’m the founder of INSPIRE and a people-first strategist who believes emotional intelligence is the foundation of modern leadership. I combine nearly a decade of experience in learning and development, talent strategy, and employee experience across hospitality and tech.
My work centers on building leadership programs rooted in emotional intelligence, connection, and real-world business impact. Whether I’m delivering the EQ Lab™, consulting on leadership strategy, or helping teams communicate more effectively, my goal is to make growth practical, human, and lasting.
I started INSPIRE to help organizations create workplaces where people feel connected, supported, and empowered to perform at their best.
