Dana Carman is an expert in human and organizational transformation. Since 1984 he has worked as a senior advisor, consultant and executive coach to leaders of more than 200 visionary organizations on 5 five continents. The majority of his past clients have been with healthcare systems across the globe. His clients include multi-nationals, small and mid-sized market leaders, governments and NGO’s that are committed to making a significant impact nationally, regionally and globally.

For well over two decades Dana has brought an Integral Whole Systems Approach to complex organizational change. His clients typically engage him when the cost of not succeeding with a key strategy or initiative is unacceptable. Dana’s footprint is an organization that is producing results at a new level, accompanied by a culture of greater agility, resilience and trust.

Dana has co-founded several pioneering consulting firms including Clarion Consulting, Action Inquiry Associates and Pacific Integral. He has co-designed and helped birth two groundbreaking development programs for global change agents: CHIE Brazil's Certification in Integral Consulting and Facilitation and Pacific Integral's award-winning GTC program.

Dana has developed a deep appreciation for both our profound differences and our essential humanity. He is a lifelong learner and has studied with many extraordinary teachers. His greatest source of sustenance is his relationship with the natural world, his family and community. His passions include telemark skiing, hiking, backpacking, and stand-up paddleboarding.

He lives in Wicklow County Ireland with his spouse and life partner, Hilary Bradbury, and mischievous dog, Clementine. When Dana isn't working with clients, he is volunteering with Hilary's Action Research Plus or Regenerate Cascadia, a local network he formed with his colleague and friend Alain Gauthier.

The integrity of my work is a function of my love for life and the earth. I stand for a just and sustainable world that works for everyone. I stand for the transformative power of embodied presence, in partnership with wild nature, to catalyze the insight and courage that we need to make the profound transformations to thrive in the face of the uncertainty and complexity in which we live.
