Working with Deana has dramatically shifted how I approach my work and my life. She helps me step back from daily execution, break through limiting thought patterns, and think at a higher level about moving my vision forward. I feel supported, more confident, and more capable. I’ve referred several friends and colleagues, and they’ve experienced similar positive results.

My sessions with Deana are the most valuable thing I do every week for myself and my business. Even when I arrive stressed and struggling with competing priorities or difficult decisions, I always come away with perspective, a way of moving forward, something significant achieved, and a sense of empowerment. That’s enormously meaningful for me and for the company’s success.

I’m grateful for Deana’s role as a guide and sounding board over many years. She has earnestly gotten to know me and helped bring out the best version of me in my leadership. She patiently and persistently helps me observe the patterns that keep me from evolving and helps me grow beyond them. I’ve been promoted twice at Stanford in just a few years, and her coaching has played a significant role in that advancement.

Deana’s mind-body approach has helped me to hone my management skills and be more emotionally intelligent with my directs, peers, and superiors.

The tools gained over the last year will be invaluable throughout my career, and I highly recommend working with Deana for a comprehensive coaching experience.

DEANA ZABALDO

I have a fire in me for personal transformation and development. Since my early 20’s, I have pursued both professional and spiritual growth through a series of challenging roles and a wide range of healing and mindfulness modalities. That mix has helped me find a path that is both pragmatic and fulfilling. I am living a life I never could have imagined, and it became possible as I learned to follow my truth, step into growth, seek support, and embody change. Nothing is more rewarding than becoming the highest version of ourselves. The world needs you, and I want to help you bring the best of yourself to everything you do.
