Lana Hailemariam is a Certified Leadership & Organizational Coach who engages audiences and provides memorable experiences. Dr. Donald Clifton once said, "There is no more effective way to empower people than to see each person in terms of his or her strengths.” If you can see the possibility in each person, then you can speak to it and teach to it.
The path Lana traveled hardly resembles a straight line. After graduating with a B.S. in International Business from University of Maryland, College Park, her adventures have included nine years in sales, 4 years of event management, six years in the multi-million dollar cheerleading industry, a few years in insurance, five years in ministry, four years in education and more than ten years in entrepreneurship. As an entrepreneur, Ms. Hailemariam owned a Gold’s Gym Franchise, an Indoor Football Team (Maryland Maniacs) as well as a personal training company called Star Fitness, Inc.
After all of that, Lana brought her East Coast flair to the mountains when she moved to Denver from The DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia). There she discovered a love for working with non-profit organizations as well as her Fortune 1000 clients. Lana enjoys all of it and over the years has learned that the beauty of her dynamic approach to coaching is exactly that diversity of background and experience. Lana uses the wisdom she gained through life’s experiences and challenges to lay the foundation to authentic, meaningful conversations that positively impact people, teams and organizations.
When Lana is not coaching, she is likely curled up with a good book, binge watching Netflix or enjoying nature outdoors somewhere beautiful. Preferably two out of three at one time!
