The DReid Process
Improve Your Mental Fitness! To maximize your personal or relational success, you need to be mentally fit.
01
The first step in the DReid coaching process is to develop a coaching relationship and comprehensive connection. It is important that you also interview me to establish trust and comfort with my techniques, personality and approach. We discuss desires, goals and interests for skill enhancement. We will connect uniquely and collaboratively assess the possibilities. You will receive a comprehensive summary before we start the second session.
02
This step begins with regular meetings to establish our teamwork approach and baseline measurement to best accomplish desired outcomes/goals. Continual support will be provided to increase accountability.
03
During this step, we discuss the actual application of the methods that demonstrate your desirable mental wellness. We apply the skills needed and then increase our commitment to communication that drives consistent messaging for best practice and desired outcomes. Regular meetings continue during this time.
04
Let’s measure the outcomes/results achieved to celebrate the your progress and determine if continued steps (are needed) moving forward. We will celebrate positive outcomes and/or pivot, as needed, based on personal or professional approval.

While volunteering with children in educational settings, Donna recognized many were grieving for various reasons in various ways. Instead of providing a safe place for emotional expression or tools for emotional regulation, schools reprimanded their behaviors. She observed children unable to understand, articulate, and manage their emotions were facing significant challenges learning in a school setting.
When Donna was a teenager, her younger, only sister passed away unexpectedly. This life altering experience further catapulted her to help others who are struggling emotionally and may (or may not) be aware of the impact of their pain and grief.
This knowledge inspired Donna’s choice to increase her knowledge and education to better assist these students and their families.
