Dana Robinson was raised in California and attended UC Berkeley during the sixties. She considers that experience as a pivotal time in helping to shape her life values. Since then she has lived in several areas of the US, including Pittsburgh, PA the city where she and her husband began and grew their consulting firm Partners in Change. The methodologies, models and techniques of performance consulting were formed through the extensive client engagements she and her husband had over 30 years. Dana and her husband, Jim, now call Raleigh, North Carolina home. She lives a 'semi-retired' life that includes some consulting, travel, volunteer work and time with friends and family including seven grandchildren.
