The Truth About Life Coaching: Why High Performers Still Need Help | Dana Ackland

[gentle music] Today, we're doing something new.

We have invited a life coach, and to be honest with you, I have a lot of questions for her.

Although I've known her for over two years now, some of the main questions that inspire this episode are: Is life coach transformational? Is it a luxury for the privileged? Is it therapy without a license? Or is it accountability most of us secretly need? Now, remember, for somebody like me, who is a entrepreneur, self-made professional immigrant, I grew up solving my own problems without outsourcing any support for clarity to where I'm going.

I survived, I adapted, and I moved on.

So today is a treat.

Our life coach, Dana, is going to help us understand when does survival stop being enough, and when does intentional growth and self-improvement begins.

Welcome back to another episode of Chatting with Slava the Jordanian.

I'm your host, STJ, and I would like to introduce Dana by reading her bio.

Dana is a global executive coach based in New Zealand, and for over three decades, she helped leaders across industries such as finance, dentistry, construction, design, non-profits, lobbying, and more.

Her philosophy is to remember who they are and lead from that place.

Dana has built a thriving business from the ground up, runs marathons for fun, and brings a rare mix of strength and sincerity to every room.

Her company offers everything from one-on-one coaching to workshops and off-site retreats.

Thank you, Dana, for coming on.
