“The coaching sessions with Dina were interesting and extremely helpful in preparing me for my studies and work life. Using different techniques and methods that I didn’t know before have helped me to be less stressed about the future and to have a more open and positive perspective.

Dina’s on one hand warm and at the same time professional manner also made the environment of the coaching sessions very pleasant. I can highly recommend meeting with Dina!”

—Alexander Otto, Interdisciplinary Student in Sustainability, France, Career coaching

“Dina is a very experienced leader, coach and project manager. She’s amazing! I’ve personally benefited from her coaching, which helped me focus and hone my strengths.

Dina was also a leader of a team I worked on. How she brought the team energy, spirit and engagement together really brought the most out of each of us as individuals and even more powerfully as a team.

I can only highly recommend Dina and hope we have the chance to work together again in the future. “

—Eleanor Collins, Global Change Management Office Lead, F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Individual Strengths Coaching

“Dina is an absolutely outstanding coach and collaborator. I had the pleasure of working with Dina over several months when she served as a StrengthsFinder coach to my [newly formed] team…

After assessing our needs, Dina went above and beyond to build tailored individual and group sessions that were incredibly effective for achieving our goals…

Dina’s warmth and joyful demeanor make her an absolute delight to work with. She’s truly one of the best team coaches I’ve worked with over the past ten years.”

—Eydith Comenenzia Ortiz, Founder & CEO, CONECTA Partners, Team Strengths Coaching

“The workshop felt – in a positive way – like group therapy. Meeting like-minded people who face similar challenges like my own was a true eye-opener to me.

Not only did I get useful tips out of the conversations, the entire setup of the group helped me to realise that other people faced similar struggles, insecurities and motivations along their individual paths towards career-change and personal re-invention.

In addition, my own contributions to the group might’ve even been helpful to some of the others as well. I left with my mind in a somewhat calmed state of contentment and a positive attitude towards my future, together with a number of additional contacts of interesting people I would otherwise have never met.”

—Dr. Andreas Weinzierl, Head of Marketing, Roche Switzerland, Team Strengths Coaching

Her sessions helped us to be a stronger team – and we continued to keep her as our coach as she showed great value. Also, Dina has a great talent in connecting with people and maintaining relationships. I can only highly recommend Dina and believe she will be a great asset to any team.”

Dina is strongly empathetic and has a real desire to understand and help people. Highly recommended.”

—Neil Press, Director in Global Discovery Chemistry, Individual Coaching

“I worked with Dina over five coaching sessions, and the experience was enlightening and enjoyable. Dina held the space with great care, so that I felt safe and courageous in exploring my goals and aspects of my personality, and in realising how these connect and can help me move towards my goals.

She encouraged visualisation, which allowed me to explore my goals in an imaginative and creative way. That was interesting, and those images have stayed with me. Dina is a compassionate and expert coach with a range of skills and tools that she applies in just the right way, at the right time.

I’d highly recommend her coaching to anyone who wants to explore their personal or professional motivations and move towards specific outcomes.”
