What We Do
At Impact Narrative, we believe that behind every transformative leader is a story that matters. One that reveals not just what they’ve done, but why they lead…and who they are becoming.
Why Impact Narrative
We are an executive talent collaborative rooted in the art of storytelling…elevating purpose-driven leaders who move missions forward and leave legacies that endure.
Our approach goes beyond resumes and references. We listen deeply. We uncover values, experiences, and inflection points that define exceptional leadership. Then we bring those narratives to life…so our clients don’t just hire a leader, they believe in one.
Our Mission
We serve community and rural health organizations looking for more than credentials. They are looking for: Conviction. Vision. Integrity. Impact. And we find them the kind of leaders whose stories you can’t forget, because they are the one’s who will shape your next chapter.
This is how we change the world: one powerful story, one purposeful placement, one extraordinary leader at a time.
“Dana is easily the finest executive search professional I have ever worked with; I've worked with dozens over the years, so I don't say this lightly—he's the best I've ever known. As a non-profit executive director for many years, I know how valuable someone with Dana's rare skill set can be. Dana works with his client organizations as a true partner.”
