Dana Ayers Email & Phone Number

I’m a strategic communications leader, bestselling author, combat zone veteran, and speaker. I'm also a pickleball player because apparently that’s important these days.I thrive on inspiring others to get out of their own way and stop talking themselves out of dreams.I have 20+ years of experience burrowing my way into all sorts of places I had no business being, including herding celebrities in green rooms, working as an armed communicator in Afghanistan, serving as a White House staffer, and advising elite special forces. I rarely fit the typical mold where I am. I’m often not the same age, shape, or gender. My 5-yearplan is always “fly by the seat of my pants and see what happens.” BUT: I’ve made it into many of my dream jobs anyway, which is why I now share with readers and audiences the things I’ve done, what I’ve learned, and why it’s worth it to keep putting ourselves in uncomfortable spots in order to try all the things in life we possibly can.I share tips for how to:• Shatter self-imposed limitations: You are capable of more than you think.• Embrace "unlikely": Your unique background and experiences are your greatest assets.• Find joy in the journey: Embrace the messiness and humor that come with chasing your dreams.• Rewrite the rules: There's no one-size-fits-all path to success.Here's what I bring to the table:🚀Overnight #1 bestselling author with 250K+ units sold, topping Amazon charts globally and winning awards.🚀Media maven featured on Good Morning America, WGN Chicago, Great Day D.C., SiriusXM Radio, Women's Running magazine, and more.🚀Experienced speaker with authentic presence, from commencement addresses to Johns Hopkins University lectures.🚀Unconventional achiever with experience spanning government, military, national security, real estate, and even singing in a cover band.If you need motivation to turn "what ifs" into "why nots," let's connect.
