A coach approach to achieving your leadership, health, and wellness goals.
-
I'm Dania Rivas, your coach, and I partner with individuals to help them achieve meaningful transformations in their leadership, health, and wellness. My coaching approach is built on proven, evidence-based methodologies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and motivational interviewing.
From our initial connection, we'll establish a supportive partnership to identify your core values, understand your deepest motivations—your 'why'—and explore any roadblocks that may be preventing you from reaching your goals.

Our work together will primarily focus on coaching. While both involve personal growth, therapy entails a longer-term relationship centered on help with a mental health condition, emotional healing, or addressing past traumas. Coaching, on the other hand, tends to be more goal-oriented with a defined timeframe.
During our sessions, we may touch upon aspects of your past, but our main focus will be on your present circumstances and developing actionable steps to move towards your future aspirations.
It's worth noting that coaching and therapy can sometimes be beneficial in conjunction. For instance, someone might work with a therapist to address underlying mental well-being while also partnering with a coach to achieve specific objectives.

You've likely experienced working with consultants in the past and may have wondered why lasting change didn't materialize. Often, this is because consulting focuses on providing solutions and telling you what to do, which can inadvertently create a dependency on external expertise. True transformation requires internal shifts.
Coaching, in contrast, is designed to empower you to take ownership of your growth. Through in-depth sessions, we'll work together to explore the underlying causes of behaviors that might be hindering your authentic leadership.
This process of self-discovery and targeted support allows for meaningful and sustainable behavioral change, enabling your leadership potential to emerge in a powerful and authentic way.

Dania excels at helping clients integrate their past, present, and future perspectives by creating a supportive environment. Within this space, you can explore the origins of your behaviors and gain awareness of any limiting beliefs or inner critics. This journey helps you understand how past experiences influence your present actions, empowering you to release unhelpful beliefs and embrace a more empowering vision of your current self and future potential.
It's important to remember that you don't need to be fixed. You already hold deep wisdom and the answers you seek within yourself. Partnering with Dania can illuminate your inherent strengths and insights, allowing you to confidently share them with the world.

Change is inevitable! It’s only a matter of when. Since you’re here, I’m guessing you’re ready. You don’t have to go at it alone. I partner with you to support your leadership and health journey and empower you to step into your fierce courage.

“My Coach helped me grow.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Dania for about 4 months. In our first session, she outlined her approach to coaching and how it differs from therapy or other coaching approaches. Throughout our time together, she stayed consistent and aligned, circling back to core values and helping me define what mine are. I appreciate how she never pushed me into anything or told me what to do but instead gave me the tools I needed to define my values, which I will utilize when making important decisions. I would highly recommend Dania as an empathetic, professional, thoughtful career coach.”
“My experience with Dania has been transformational. Under her guidance, I’ve discovered the power of reclaiming my story and recognizing the common thread that ties together my past experiences, helping me to uncover my core values that have consistently driven me forward. This newfound self-awareness has grounded me in my authentic self, providing a strong foundation for personal growth.
Dania also showed me how to incorporate leadership into my work conversations effectively. She taught me to take the initiative in structuring discussions, inquire about others’ perspectives, and ensure clarity to prevent misunderstandings. This approach has significantly improved communication at work, allowing me to build stronger professional relationships.
A defining moment of our coaching sessions was when Dania encouraged me to define my own vision of leadership. For me, leadership now means empowering others to collaborate effectively in pursuit of a shared goal. This clear understanding of my leadership philosophy has not only improved my leadership style but has also positively impacted my team dynamics in my work environments and projects. In sum, Dania has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth, and I am immensely grateful for her guidance and support.”
“My coaching journey with Dania changed my life. As a young professional woman of color, I have worked with coaches and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives before, but this experience was different in all the right ways. Dania skillfully guided me through a highly co-creative process that renewed my connection with my values and ultimately rekindled my inner leader and imagination. If you are ready to do the transformative internal work, work with Dania. Through her uniquely sustainable approach, you will get back all you put in, and so much more.”
