Strategic Planning
"We had the pleasure of working with Daveda just as our media production company was growing in size and needing to rethink our organizational trajectory. We had an opportunity to connect with a new funder and wanted to be sure we were considering the size and scope of our project alongside our capacity to produce meaningful results with the resources we were being given. Daveda asked some really important questions and gave us some unique tools that she’s developed over time. It was through her approach and guidance that we found clarity in our process, and a plan for moving our business forward."

Community Engagement
& Facilitation
"Daveda is not your run of the mill consultant. Her methods are unconventional and highly productive. She elevates every participant’s contributions by building relational trust, demanding whole group presence and engagement and ensuring highest levels of hospitality and physical comfort. Daveda utilizes all six senses to develop an ambience of unity and focus. She is my go to when working with teams with low trust and historic trauma. Her methods generally eliminate vertical hierarchy and strongly promote equality of voice for groups."

Soul-based
Leadership Coaching
"I recently came to a professional crossroads and I found myself considering going into business for myself—a leap I never thought I'd take. Daveda helped me transform my thinking about the direction and focus of my work. Through a series of deep, thoughtful sessions, she guided me through various exercises that brought my skills and purpose into focus. Our frank conversations gave me a chance to air and allay my fears, giving me the confidence to proceed down a rewarding new career path. Without Daveda's philosophical, psychological and practical support, I can't imagine how I would have moved forward. I can't recommend her enough as a coach."
