Dina Maccabee
A World of Difference
How do you practice practicing?
I was taught how to practice violin a long time ago: listen carefully, make adjustments, and repeat. And repeat...
But to succeed and feel fulfilled as a musician, I was missing another crucial skill:
How to set a clear goal – and bring curiosity and patience to achieving it.
Now, I practice helping others apply this approach, so they can clarify and reach their goals organically and effectively.
Observation, integrity, and courage
Facing your creative purpose isn't easy. If you're looking for clarity, structure and balance, I can help. After a free initial call to get to know each other, the coaching program I offer follows three steps:
-
Goal Setting: Over several sessions, we'll map out your current situation, discern what's missing, and set a clear goal.
-
Reflection: We'll find out what really matters to you and where you truly shine, while identifying any limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck.
-
Implementation: We'll identify clear, doable steps to take you toward your goal, with weekly accountability and feedback on tasks.

Here is what past clients and mentors have said:
Lori OK
I came to Dina with a challenge: "I don't know how to move forward if I'm not beating myself up for everything I'm doing wrong or not doing at all." ... She held space for me, really listened... and helped me to realize that I could let go of the judgment, which allowed me to release some of the pressure I was feeling to 'fix this thing.'
By the end of our session, *I* had found the thoughts and felt the feelings that absolutely released me from the self judgment I'd heaped on myself. Dina was a perfect guide; she knew intuitively exactly what would help me on my own journey.
Julie, Poet, Educator, Los Angeles,
I am a poet, and while it has been easy to submit my poems to journals, I want to publish a chapbook of poems. I spoke with Dina about my doubts and hesitation about this idea. I really appreciated how she took the time to listen to me and provided the tools I needed to move forward with my goal. It made a world of difference!
Ben, Musician
Working on this record with Dina has opened my mind to so many dynamic possibilities that I could hear when listening to other people's music, but struggled to implement in my own. Through her guidance over the course of working on my upcoming album, I have come away confident that I have a solid understanding of arrangement that I can share with others on upcoming projects as a producer and engineer.
