Hi, I’m Dimitria L. Cook, ICF Member Coach
As a ghostwriter, I deliver top quality writing on your behalf. Everyone has a story to tell. With over 30 years of writing experience, I’m here for you!
As a coach, I guide you into your empowered future. Maybe you want to learn how to better self-advocate for yourself. Maybe you want to develop into a better leader by leaning into your strengths. Or maybe you want to become a more effective communicator and make better decisions. Whatever it is, you already possess the tools necessary to become a more effective leader. I help you unlock your blocks and embrace a growth mindset that moves you closer to your professional goals.
Don’t worry about knowing where to begin on your journey. With over 25 years in leadership development, I meet you where you are and help you set clear goals. I guide you to move your insights into action. You learn how to rephrase and reframe your perspective to achieve the outcomes you desire. Our coaching partnership can guide you into the empowered future you seek. My focus is on you.
My Approach
Neuroscience-based executive coaching involves partnering with leaders to grow their awareness and agility of brain/body biology, helping to shift out of the amygdala hijack of fight-flight and command-and-control—aka the Red Zone—, and into the prefrontal cortex and positive emotional contagion of the Blue Zone. This is where collective IQ, psychological safety, and proactive resilience is the norm among teams and culture.
