Dana Asher is a certified executive coach, group facilitator, keynote speaker, organizational consultant, and thought leader with deep roots in human performance and a track record of improving quality of life at work. Across a broad swath of sectors and industries, Dana’s work in relational leadership builds personal and institutional capacity for growth, development, and diversity by integrating the body, heart, mind, and souls of individuals and organizations.
Dana works regularly with individuals and teams working sub-optimally as a result of disruption and stress, amidst rising demand and increased complexity.

She currently serves organizations including amfAR (the foundation for AIDS research), Anthem, Booking Holdings, The Ford Foundation, Finalta, First Eagle Investment Management, Flex, HavenLife, Legrand, Microsoft, The New School, Oh My Green, Oxeon Partners, ProductHunt, Scribd, Storyful, and TextNow.
