Meet Rebecca Dinda

My Personal Coaching Story

I am Rebecca, a professional lifestyle, career, and leadership coach. After spending 20+ years as a public school educator, helping thousands of students, parents, and educators create a vision and work toward their personal, academic, and professional intentions, I realized we can all benefit from individual coaching. I found coaching fifteen years ago when I was a School Counselor and living in Connecticut. At that time, I completed Co-Active Training and although I didn’t open a practice due to my commitment as an educator, the experience changed the trajectory of my life.

Through my coach training, I explored my deeper life purpose, uncovered the values that were most important to me and learned to create opportunities where I lived my values daily. I developed a clear picture of what I wanted in my life and what I didn’t want. Shortly thereafter, I moved to Miami and began my career as a school administrator. During that time, I enjoyed the most fulfilling career I have ever had as Assistant Principal and Principal of Downtown Miami Charter School. Although during that period of my life, I chose to have my career as my number one commitment, in my off time I created an exciting life with a focus on health & wellness, travel, and spending time learning all about Miami with family and friends who visited. Taking a considerable pay cut to move from Connecticut to South Florida as a pubic educator, I also focused on long term financial planning and learned to create an enriching life on a budget. The icing on the cake of that period was I met incredible lifelong friends and my husband too.

Now that I have returned to coaching, I am much more aware of how impactful the initial co-active training was to my life. Although being a public educator is rewarding in many ways, it also can be extremely draining and stressful. The work I did with coaching really provided me with a deeper sense of choice of my thoughts, feelings, and actions. I knew how to create thoughts that served me well such as those focused on gratitude, fulfillment, problem solving, and purpose. This all allowed me to serve my school with more peace and positive energy than I had prior to my coach training. Once again, I feel fortunate to have found my purpose as a coach and love working collaboratively with others to help more people become fulfilled in the same way I have felt for the last fifteen years.

I completed my Professional Co-Active Coach training with the Co-Active Training Institute in San Rafael, CA, which is widely recognized as the most rigorous program in the industry. I graduated from the University of Miami with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and psychology. I also graduated with honors from Florida International University with a master’s degree in Counselor Education and a 6th Year certificate from Central Connecticut State University in educational leadership and administration. In 2023, I completed my doctorate degree in Global Education through the University of Southern California.

Originally from Connecticut, I now reside in Miami Beach, FL with husband and our dog.

Hope you come along and join me for a sample session.

Peace, Love & Happiness
