Who knows more about the snags we can all get stuck on than a psychotherapist?

Dana has the credentials to speak on these matters. That’s why she and her POWER Optimism programs are unique. She’s an expert in positive psychology, not an observer. Dana’s mission is to release and increase the optimist in each of us. Her highly successful presentations reflect her unique blend of talents and expertise.

Who can sift through that experience to find positive steps better than a teacher?

Dana was an instructor at the University of Pennsylvania for 10 years before turning her attention to behavioral science. She has also lectured at Temple University and Arcadia University.

Who can distill those steps into a presentation more clearly than a writer?

Dana published her first book, POWER Optimism: Enjoy the Life You Have…Create the Success You Want in 2004, followed by the No More Difficult People Series in 2011 and the POWER Optimism Quick Tip Series in 2015. She has also written numerous articles for a wide variety of publications.

Who can deliver that presentation with more passion and humor than an actress and professional speaker?

Dana has studied acting professionally for over 20 years, been a member of the National Speakers Association and was the past president of the Professionally Speaking Chapter of Toastmasters International.

And who is more believable than someone who has walked the walk?

Dana’s like most of you. Not the survivor of some catastrophic event, but of life itself—the cumulative dings and dents we acquire over the years. We all have problems, and these programs are the result of what Dana’s done to deal with them—what she can offer you.
