Dana's Testimonials
"We’ve had wonderful opportunities to host Dana on-site and virtually. What can I say other than, “She’s FANTASTIC!” The stories and experiences in her book, Jackfruit Leadership, are so relatable. The other great thing is her guidance makes these topics conversational and gives you direction on how to effectively address issues and how to be more aware as we grow as leaders. I’ve received such positive feedback from colleagues and look forward to continuing to leverage her guidance."
Kim Reed, SVP, Selene Finance

Whether leading call center operations, handling the customer complaints area, or being the star witness for the company in litigation, Dana has experienced a robust career focused on collaboration and building people up. It was Dana’s curiosity about how teams perform that led her to pursue a master’s degree in Inclusive Leadership and this combination of experience and education culminated in her debut book, Jackfruit Leadership. When she’s not working on her next book, you can find Dana doing keynote speeches and workshops where she helps managers evolve into the type of leaders they were meant to be. Dana lives in Colleyville, Texas with her husband of 29 years, Todd, her two kids Brandon and Loretta, plus the family dogs Karma and Skillet.
