The DANA method

Developmental Appreciative Navigation Approach

DANA is a structured and validated conversational methodology, developed within the hospital setting by Annemiek Nooteboom. It builds on Appreciative Inquiry and solution-focused coaching, both derived from Positive Psychology, to systematically identify and expand the most effective elements of the individual and the organization.

Developed in conjunction with the research group Professional Performance & Compassionate Care of the Amsterdam UMC, it is used to train Professional Development Coaches for medical specialists.
