About
These times are calling each of us to show up — and to get R.E.A.L.
My work has always centered on expanding what becomes possible when we evolve individually and collectively, supporting the inner shifts that enable meaningful, sustainable change in how we lead, relate, and show up in the world.
Hi, I'm Dayna Seraye.
Like many of us, I wasn't raised with much of the skills or understanding of relational and emotional intelligence. I saw a lot of well-intentioned people causing unintentional harm, not because they wanted to, but because they didn’t know another way.
And it’s why I’ve devoted my life to understanding, and sharing, what actually supports healthy, connected, and skillful relating—the core competency at the heart of high-performing, human-centered leadership.
Â
I believe leadership is a relational practice.
As an entrepreneur, creative visionary, coach, and facilitator, I have apprenticed with many masterful teachers and disciplines that have shaped the depth and breadth of my work, including somatics, psychology, leadership development, and authentic relating.
For the past 7 years as a Senior Course Leader and Head of Curriculum and Facilitation Training for ART International, I’ve trained hundreds in the practices of Authentic Relating and Relational Leadership. What I’ve seen again and again is that these capacities can be learned—and when we learn them, our lives and leadership change for the better.
This journey led me to develop the R.E.A.L. framework—Relational, Embodied, Authentic Leadership (and Living). It brings together somatic awareness, relational intelligence, and authentic expression to support leaders in creating impact that is both effective and deeply human.
The world is aching for R.E.A.L. leadership.
And we can all develop the skills and capacities to meet this moment.
Dayna navigates complex interactions with seemingly-masterful grace, patience, and ease. Working with Dayna has been a literal life-changing experience for me.
