Participating in Daniela Cohen’s women-centered group coaching program has been a profoundly transformative experience. From the very first moment, I felt a strong sense of belonging and inspiration, pushing me to envision possibilities I hadn’t considered before. Daniela’s deep insight, compassionate leadership, and ability to create a safe, supportive space allowed me to engage with challenging questions that fueled my growth. The group dynamic was especially valuable, as I was able to learn from the perspectives of others and apply their insights to various aspects of my life beyond my initial coaching goals.
Through structured goal setting, weekly progress check-ins, peer support, and focused coaching, I received both resources and accountability, helping me break free from limiting beliefs that had been preventing me from connecting with a partner who aligns with my values. By the end of the program, I gained clarity about the kind of relationship I truly desire and built confidence in my ability to co-create it. Today, I am dating someone who aligns with my deepest desires, and I am experiencing dating from a place of trust and peace.
I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone seeking a powerful, awareness-based coaching approach tailored to the unique needs of women.
Being in Daniela’s group coaching program was a truly transformative experience. Daniela leads with grace, insight, and a deep sense of purpose, creating a safe and inspiring space for growth. The benefit of being part of a like-minded community, supportive of one another’s goals, is profound and uplifting.
The one-on-one coaching embedded within the group structure provided me with clarity around my business that I couldn’t have achieved on my own. I experienced a breakthrough in my messaging and direction, which has significantly impacted my confidence and alignment with my goals. The weekly check-ins and accountability were invaluable, keeping me focused and motivated throughout the program.
Beyond clarity in my business, I’ve noticed that my listening skills have deepened, and I approach conversations with more presence and understanding. The encouragement and support from the other women in the group were not only beautiful to witness but also amplified each of our journeys. This collective energy made the experience feel even more powerful, leaving me inspired and connected.
From the first discovery session with Daniela and all through the coaching program, I was able to imagine a different version of myself with increasing clarity. Because of the program, I have taken concrete steps towards achieving a long-held dream of becoming a full-time professional writer and see it no longer as a dream but as a real possibility.
Going through the program as a group was a powerful experience, and I felt every minute we spent together brought me new insights and teachings. The coaching taught me of the infinite possibilities within me that I have yet to uncover once I let go of my internal doubts and fears.
From the very beginning, I have experienced Daniela as having a genuine interest in assisting me with shifting the narrative that was blocking my writing process and preventing me from reaching my goal.
From the onset, she creates and facilitates a trusting, supporting, understanding, open, empathetic and empowering space where one can be oneself, and share authentically.
I have been impressed and feel deeply grateful for her insight and ability to guide the coaching conversations to the core of the challenges, identifying connections between past experiences and current limiting narratives, assisting in understanding the root causes and effect, and in providing perspective and external validation – enabling self-acceptance, self-validation and release. She has great emotional intelligence, mirrors and reflects matters of importance, ties up loose threads, is thoughtful and accommodative.
Through the program, I attained new tools through which I can shift my thoughts and feelings from negative to positive with whatever challenge I am working on to move from postponing dealing with the challenge to engaging with it with motivation and even excitement.
I have gone from judging and criticizing myself for my fears and how I engage with them, to being compassionate with myself and full of wonder about myself; curious about the root causes, wanting to understand and learn, and to grow further. This shift also offered release and healing.
These outcomes were further supported by the program’s group coaching format. I found working on the narrative that was blocking my writing process in a group setting to be powerful and enabling. Being part of a group where everyone is open and supportive of each other reminded me that everyone has challenges and that they are often similar at their core. Being able to offer support to the others and being sincerely supported by the others enabled me to learn and grow even more.
The coaching program has provided me with clarity and helped me identify the right resources and support systems to navigate my current struggles. I’ve gained practical tools, like managing anxiety, and realizing that I am my greatest support. As a result, I’ve accomplished tangible goals such as appearing on a podcast, actively working on my book, and developing a new narrative for myself, all while gaining confidence in my abilities.
Daniela is a very patient coach and was able to guide me through my journey, always keeping me focused on the bigger picture. Her empowering style helped me grow through challenges and find real, tangible solutions. This coaching experience has been transformative, and I’m excited to build on the foundations we’ve established together.
I really valued my coaching with Daniela and the safe and empathic space she created. I’ve felt so listened to, and she enabled me to dig into difficult issues with her expert guidance. She gave me space to share – but as a talker, it was great to also be reined in and kept on track!
Daniela’s very generous and supportive – she took the time on many occasions to really reflect my successes back to me – which I’ve tended to brush over. She helped me appreciate the importance of this in changing my story about myself and my habitual negative self-talk. I really appreciated how she encouraged me to slow down and connect with my courage and my achievements and I made so much progress by the end of our programme together. Thank you, Daniela!
Daniela is a natural coach. One of her strengths is her profound presence in a session. She listens to what you say and to what lies between the words. And she guides you lovingly and directly toward your next steps on your journey. Having been coached by Daniela, I can honestly say that I felt safe, understood and seen in deep ways. Her ability to perceive what is important is outstanding. She combines her practicality with her intuitive ability to create sessions filled with possibility. I highly recommend a session with Daniela if you want someone who can help you reveal what you need and what next steps to take in your journey of life.
As a 20 year, not for profit CEO I have experienced burnout. Daniela, having worked in non-profits, has a heart felt experience of burnout. Her beautiful presence made me feel truly heard. Her deep understanding of the challenges associated with burnout and her tailored approach to my needs as well as her powerful questions provided me with practical tools and strategies to regain my balance, well-being, and peace of mind. I felt renewed and revitalized through my experience of having Daniela as my coach.
Freedom to Thrive: Redefining Service in Non-Profit Leadership
A 12-Week Coaching Program for Women Nonprofit Leaders
Are you a mission-driven woman leading in the nonprofit sector, feeling stuck in a cycle of overwhelm and burnout? Imagine finding a way to approach service where you feel energized, fulfilled, and able to make a lasting impact—without sacrificing your well-being.
This program is designed to help you shift from depletion to sustainable, impactful leadership.
Do You Relate to These Challenges?
- Are you constantly sacrificing personal time and relationships to tackle an endless task list?
- Do you feel like you’re sinking deeper into overwhelm despite giving it your all?
- Do you pour yourself into your work but feel unseen and unappreciated?
- Are you weighed down by guilt, feeling like you’re letting down both your team and loved ones?
- Have you lost the passion for the work you once loved?
- Do you feel stuck and powerless to change your situation?
If so, you’re not alone. These are common struggles for women in nonprofit leadership.
The Problem: A Culture of Sacrificial Service
The nonprofit sector often demands more than it gives. Underfunded organizations, unrealistic expectations from funders, and a constant sense of urgency create environments where burnout thrives. Women leaders, in particular, face additional pressures due to societal expectations and the “second shift” of caregiving responsibilities.
The statistics paint a stark picture:
- Women nonprofit leaders experience burnout at rates 20% higher than their male counterparts (Neurolaunch, 2024).
- Job dissatisfaction in the nonprofit sector is significantly higher for women (31%) compared to men (17%), as reported by The Environics Institute and Future Skills Centre in their 2023 study.
- Nonprofit organizations face a 19% average employee turnover rate, far exceeding the 12% cross-industry average (Neurolaunch, 2024).
The current paradigm of service that demands self-sacrifice is unsustainable. But change is possible—and it starts with redefining service.
The Shift: Redefining Service for Sustainable Impact
True transformation begins when we challenge the outdated belief that serving others means neglecting ourselves.
This program will empower you to:
- Prioritize your well-being without guilt.
- Create sustainable impact while growing your organization.
- Feel energized and fulfilled in your work and personal life.
- Foster a healthy workplace culture where everyone thrives.
- Develop communication skills to align and inspire your team.
What’s Included in the Program:
- 12 weekly group coaching sessions (1.5 hours each) in a supportive, online community.
- Individual laser coaching opportunities within the group sessions.
- A 1:1 vision-setting coaching session before the program starts.
- Weekly accountability to help you take actionable steps toward your goals.
- Topics tailored to the unique challenges of women nonprofit leaders.
- Connection with like-minded women who share your purpose and values.
Program Details:
- Dates: Fridays, February 21 – May 9, 2025
- Time: 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM PST
- Location: Online
Even if you feel like you don’t have time to add one more thing to your schedule, this program is designed to work with your life, not against it. You’ll learn how to make meaningful, lasting changes without needing to change jobs or do it alone.
