Becoming a Trainer

Before becoming an executive coach and international trainer, Dina was a classroom teacher and later a school director. Like many leaders, she discovered that success in one role doesn’t automatically prepare someone for the next. That experience inspired her lifelong commitment to leadership development and coaching.

As a Certified Positive Discipline Lead Trainer, Dina has collaborated closely with Dr. Jane Nelsen to bring Positive Discipline principles into the workplace. Together, they developed Empowering People in the Workplace the Positive Discipline Way, an innovative leadership training that equips organizations to build respectful, collaborative, and accountable workplace cultures.

Dina is also certified through The Coaches Training Institute and the International Coach Federation and brings decades of coaching experience to every workshop and coaching engagement.

In addition to her training and coaching, Dina is a published author. She co-authored Roadmap to Success alongside Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard and later wrote Trusting the Fortune Within, expanding on her belief that effective leadership begins with recognizing and developing our own strengths.
