Playing Small Moment When Dana was growing up, her parents had her life already roadmapped for her. She did exactly what was expected of her. Dana’s playing small moment came after receiving her mother’s discouragement after she told her mom she was going back to college, after becoming successful in corporate America. She ended up staying the course and continuing her work, when it wasn’t what she wanted to do. The Wake Up Call Dana decided to leave the corporate world to become an entrepreneur and coach. When she took the leap, she realized that she didn’t know who she was. She had identified herself with her job title and her paycheck for so long, she had no idea how much confidence she lacked. After a breakdown and some soul searching, her wake up call came when she realized she had a purpose in this world.  Style of Leadership Dana’s leadership style is about being compassionate, sympathetic, humble, and non-judgmental. She firmly holds people accountable. What Are You Excited About? Dana is co-authoring a book, The No-BS Truth: What it Really Takes to Build a Business. She is also really excited about her energy work, and having Jodi as a guest on her new podcast, Your Shift Matters. Current Business Challenge Dana underestimated just how much work having a podcast is, so she is in the market for a Virtual Assistant. Your Support System Friends and family are supportive of Dana’s ventures. Her virtual friends have really been great sounding boards and mentors. She is thankful for these women she considers some of her dearest friends. Leadership Practice Dana does a 5-minute energy routine.

It’s that we are powerful beyond measure; and there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so others won’t feel insecure around you.” ― Marianne Williamson Links Website: http://www.DanaZarcone.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danazarcone Twitter: https://twitter.com/DanaZarcone Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SourceYourJoy/ Podcast: http://www.YourShiftMatters.com    If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe in iTunes or Stitcher Radio and never miss out on #inspiration and community!
