Dina is a master coach. I was first trained by Dina and then I hired her to train the managers on my team. In my experience being trained she was insightful, succinct and focused. She quickly assessed what would make me better and provided very specific (and unvarnished) training on what to do. My presentation skills were markedly improved after just two meetings. Our exec hired her annually to brush up the presentation skills of his directs prior to a set of broad executive planning meetings. D… Read more

Dina has helped ensure successful presentations by our executives for important product launches, in particular for high-profile events with worldwide impact such as E3. She was able to get up to speed quickly on the specifics and nuances of our industry, our products and our consumers. This skill was critical for her credibility as a media trainer. She brings a fresh perspective and counsels in a manner that is respectful, encouraging and supportive. At the same time, she is unafraid to suggest… Read more

I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact Dina’s engagement can have and I would recommend her services without hesitation to anyone. During my tenure in a Chief of Staff capacity for the Enterprise business at Microsoft we asked Dina Napoli to work with a number of our executives to improve their public speaking and presentation skills. The profile of these executives were very senior, very established leaders, all with 20+ years of industry experience and multiple years of interna… Read more

Dina takes great care to prepare well for media trainings, leading participants to marvel on how remarkably she understands their businesses. She gives direct, valuable and specific feedback that participants can easily learn from and apply going forward. She coaches with kindness – keeping the participant as the full focus of the training, and modifies approaches, styles and feedback to meet the needs at hand. Dina has been instrumental in helping me elevate the Media Training program to beco… Read more

I was introduced to Dina while preparing for a competitive pitch. Even though I am pretty comfortable presenting on the stage but this one was different and with high stakes. It was a 60 sec pitch in front of hundreds of people and on a new stage. In just one meeting, Dina gave me new tools to overcome stage-fear and provided feedback on my presentation to make it better such as where to stress my words and where to even smile. When I got on the stage, because of all the preparation, I felt a ne… Read more

In partnering with Dina on a high-profile spokesperson readiness effort, I was continually impressed with her keen eye and ability to detect actions and habits that interfered with effective presentations, communicate suggested changes in a way that was non-threatening and would resonate with the participant, then motivate participants to really embrace and practice the behaviors and skills she imbued in them. She really had a strong, positive impact.

Had the opportunity to be trained by Dina for broadcast media interviews. Dina was great. She gave a lot of good instruction (tools, tips) to be used when doing live interviews and was very open and honest with her feedback (even when it wasn’t what you wanted to hear) during practice sessions which I found very helpful. I’d definitely recommend Dina as a strong resource for anyone starting their “spokesperson journey” or someone who has been doing it for years and wants to improve their perform… Read more
