So, why Ensemble Leadership?

We Blend warmth and ambition

We combine fierce business acumen with genuine human connection. Because we can aspire to both.

We prioritize inclusion

Workplaces, communities, and individuals flourish when we listen to all talents, backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, learning styles, nationalities, and cultures.

We embrace the interconnected world

We’ve worked extensively with global teams and served clients in the US, UK, Western Europe, Scandinavia, and Latin America. We’ve also advised international leaders on talent planning, matrix organization, and team culture in a global environment.

We use the power of mindfulness

Meditation techniques help you be present in your body, detach from stressful scenarios, and problem-solve with intention.

We honor creativity

Inspired by our theater roots, we see coaching as both an art and science. It’s about being in the flow of the process and using design thinking to expand your worldview.

“Dana has this incredible ability to help everyone feel seen and understood.”

“She has a genuine human connection that allows people to open up to her and explore new ideas. She's also a change-maker in the most beautiful way possible because she allows people to see their own strengths and their own gifts and tap into their inner resources. That is what causes shifts within organizations and within individuals.”

Meet Dr. Dana Kirchman

Managing Director | Certified Executive Coach | Coaching Supervisor, J.D., PCC

Leadership coaching inspires fulfillment and achievement. Drawing on my executive management roles and my entertainment production experience, I’m dedicated to helping leaders and teams raise performance and collaboration.

When I first got into producing and directing theater, I realized I was doing less “directing” and more discovery. I used collaboration and deep listening to nail down where each actor excelled. That allowed me to challenge the actor to find new ways of embodying their role.

Fast forward a decade and I used that skill to help global leaders navigate industry shifts.

For 25 years, I have been leading, coaching, strategizing, and researching what makes people work together most effectively. In the current environment, I’m also focused on reducing stress and increasing balance. While each individual and team is different, my approaches draw on the best evidence to provide a grounded program for change.

Throughout it all, I’ve combined creativity with business acumen and mindfulness to deliver programs that help leaders like you land their eureka effect.
