What Coaching Clients Say

"After spending 30 years hiring coaches and therapists, and attending workshops, my life still wasn't working for me.  On the first phone call to Raven, she figured out exactly what I needed to do to get results.  From that day forward, my life began to improve after each session and it continues to improve to this day.  Now I feel happier than I ever thought possible." - D. Orfas, FL

 

"What sets Raven apart is how knowledgeable she is about human behavior.  Her assessments are always right on the money.  Her approach is empowering to her clients.  She has a tell-it-like-it-is approach that helps people truly face whatever is challenging them.  The steps/instructions/exercises she recommends are very effective, thought-provoking, and manageable/attainable.  I am able to use the tools she has taught me on a daily basis in all areas of my life for years now." - Lana Musser, OH

 

"With the skill and sensitivity of a brain surgeon, Raven Dana cut away my facade and defenses, revealing how I sabotaged myself and the twisted games I played.  A library full of self-help books and 10 years of therapy left in the dust as I found a new way of being.  Resentments and attachments dissipated, victimhood a costume of the past, I now wake every day happy and free from the stories that led to suffering.  Dana's methods are direct and loving, no holds barred, and always filled with laughter and truth." - Cynthia, AZ

 

"Raven's coaching was quite effective for me.  I was accustomed to therapy where the sessions were long and all we talked about was why things were bad.  Sessions with Raven were dynamic and efficient.  We could get to the core of my feelings and then create an action step to take.  Her style is right to the point, 'let's make changes and get on with having a life,' and she delivered.  I am deeply grateful to Raven for her clarity and input." - Terrie Lewine DC, Philiadelphia, PA

 

"Raven helps clients who can't even find their asses with their own two hands.  Raven has taught me that the 'why' doesn't matter.  That the key to coping, adapting, and enjoying life is getting out of my own way, by showing me that what I notice (about people, situations, etc.) can be vastly different than what I imagine (about those people, situations, etc.).  This has encouraged me to be more honest in my interactions with myself and others.  And perhaps the most profound lessions I have learned is that (1) you don't get what you don't ask for, and (2) you get what you ask for." - Rod B., PA

 

"I began my one-on-one work with her when, at the age of 47, I decided that my life-long pattern of failed attempts at intimacy was not something I wanted to continue.  After three months of weekly coaching sessions with Raven, I met the man who is now my husband.  I have the intimate, juicy, and honest relationship I have always wanted, and I am convinced that without the tools, feedback, and support that Raven provided, I would still be trying to figure out how to get here.  Those who are looking for real change in their lives, who are ready to give up old habits and patterns that no longer serve, and who are ready to have what they want will find Raven a refreshing and inspiring guide." - Sherry A. Marts, Ph.D., Washington, DC

 

Praise From Business Clients

 

"Raven Dana facilitated a program for both medical secretaries and receptionists at an educational seminar for the Centers for Dialysis Care in 2008.  Months after the presentation, the effects are still being seen and discussed as various situations that were covered in the material continue to come up.  The program was timeless in its scope and beneficial to all who were in attendance." - Fran Lloyd, Director of Office Systems, Centers for Dialysis Care

 

"Your work with us has reached almost every person, with methods they can easily use to improve their personal and professional productivity, and most importantly, their self worth.  Your evaluations are consistently 9.5/10 from every group, quite an accomplishment with this tough group.  I have been involved with organizing programs and workshops for over 12 years.  There are few speakers or consultants I've ever worked with more than once.  You are an exception!" - Chester Bayko, BSBA, MSN, RN, CNA, Acting Associate Chief Nurse - Cleveland VA Medical Center

 

"We have found your insights and suggestions to be on target and very valuable.  Your ability to 'treat the cause' rather than merely alleviate the symptoms, has been most helpful in making decisions and necessary changes." - Sterling K. Stenerson, President, Shaker Paper Co., Inc.

 

"The strategic planning seminar that you facilitated was instrumental in setting the positive tone for the challenges we face in the upcoming year.  We have used another facilitator in the past, resulting in lower morale and higher leves of mistrust.  With your guidance and oversight this past year, the unanimous consensus from our management team was that you facilitated the best strategic planning we've done in the past seven years." - Mark A. Johnston, President, Real Estate Mortgage Corp

 

What People Say About Workshops

 

"Before the course, I had major problems with sleep and anxiety.  I left the weekend sleeping like a baby.  My anxiety level since the workshop has not returned (one year later).  I also realized that anger was not something to be in fear of.  Powerful course, period." - Mark Anderson, FL

 

"This work is extraordinary. I left the weekend with the answers to questions I'd been asking all my life. I can finally put the past behind me and get a life I love. I feel free." - Richard Wolf, Technical Manager, Washington DC

 

"Your workshop was a major catalyst in my life.  I had no idea how much my old problems still influenced my life.  I am now on a journey to self acceptance.  I have less inner turmoil, more fun, and less guilt and obligation." - Elizabeth Scott, Author/Speakers' Agent, AZ

 

"Being a 'nice' girl imprisoned me with old unexpressed anger. Through the weekend, I learned to express and get over anger and to do so without alienating people or getting trapped in the blame game. I'm amazed at the lightning speed a relationship transforms by the very thing that I thought would make things worse- honesty." - Melinda Anderson, Nurse, FL

 

What People Say About The Online Intent Group Class 

 

"Raven is nuts and bolts, practical spirituality...It's not the bullshit spirituality practice that has you doing mantras when the house is on fire.  The training is real world, in the moment, noticing and redirecting yourself to a new road- onto the road that you say you want to be on.  So if the house is on fire...get the hell out of the house.  The most important thing about discovering how to hold intent has been knowing how to be more specific about the intent."

 

"The power and feeling of being connected with 12 others is awesome.  Raven's Rambo/Navy Seal Boot Camp/Atomic Bond like teaching and life coaching methods can rock your very foundation.  If you are ready and willing to look at your self and change the problems, this can certainly be a life changing class.  After you have been "Ravenized", when you come to and you are looking for all the pieces, including Toto, you will soon realize you are not in Kansas anymore!"

 

"If you think that you are tough enough to ride the Roller Coaster of life learning emotions, open to new abilities and experiences while finding and discarding old emotions, then the Intention Class with Raven Dana is for you."

 

"With the group practice, I notice my ability to interrupt my self-defeating, shoot-myself-in-the-foot behaviors.  I notice that I think less and mull over things less and I trust my intuition more than ever.  At that point, I choose another solution - one that would put me on another avenue."
