From designing learning systems to facilitating learning for teaching people how to read to training leaders in the boardroom and everything in between, she's since grown into a professional educationalist and currently operates her own educational consulting company. Throughout her career, Dana has worked with diverse audiences across a wide range of industries, workplaces and professions and she's held several management and leadership roles along the way.
