"We recently booked Dina to talk about resilience with a group of our portfolio CEOs. She offered a great mix of experience and empathy grounded in training and framed clearly the ways in which resilience can be built.
What's more, she connected instantly with the audience - even over Zoom, she created an environment where CEOs that didn't know each other felt comfortable jumping in and adding their own experiences to the conversation."

"During a recent meeting of executives representing pediatric healthcare fundraising organizations, Dina presented on The Emotional Labor of Being a Leader - How to Manage It, and I felt seen. Never before have the expectations of leaders by their employees been so high than these last couple of years, and
Dina gets it. Even better, she offered strategies to deal with it. At the end of Dina's presentation, I had strategies to apply that will help me be a better leader for my organization."
