Growth happens

Wherever you're headed and whatever you're facing, you don't have to do it alone.

 

Dessy Levinson, creator of the CRATE Framework, will partner with you to identify and reframe existing internal narratives, align objectives with accountability, and help you become your bravest, most functional self.

 

Whether you're addressing career, relational, strategic, or internal challenges, there's a path forward—armed with clarity, regulation, agency, trust, and energy.

It's time you found your edge.

Who you are

is how you lead

There's a version of your story where you regularly make the brave, aware choice. Where the narratives of your past empower, rather than deplete your future. It's time to integrate your internal resistance and become a more functional person, a more inspiring leader, and the focused and conscious human you always wanted to be.

How do you get there?

Step up and do the work.

What Clients Say

Dessy is an insightful, responsive, warm, and incredibly helpful executive coach who cuts directly to the heart of the issue.  She has expertise in storytelling, technology, the venture capital space, and understands how to construct a clear and concise presentation that is also visually beautiful.  Sometimes I can get bogged down in details and Dessy helps me see the forest through the trees.  I have enthusiastically recommended her executive coaching services to friends and will continue to do so!!
