About

 Hi, I'm Danielle Gioia White.

I’m a performance strategist and coach helping people rediscover joy in work and life. I quickly translate discovery to results, connecting the dots to practical growth solutions for individuals, teams, and organizations. It’s my passion to inspire personal insights and deepened awareness that lead to energy for action that makes a difference. 

Together we’ll tap into existing strengths, develop new skills, and co-create inventive opportunities to evolve nimbly for lasting impact. People I work with say I’m a systems thinker with a knack for designing holistic value-add strategies, always balancing big picture thinking with delivery on the details.

I bring 20 years of experience in learning, leadership, and organizational development, and have spent half that time honing my craft as a professional leadership coach. My unique collaborative and consultative approach has delivered measurable results across healthcare and technology organizations, sales and account management teams, behavioral health clinicians, operations and corporate shared services groups, and government and nonprofit organizations.

I lead with deep empathy and apply strengths-based, positive psychology practices as a Certified Gallup CliftonStrengths® Coach. My Top 5 CliftonStrengths are Strategic, Empathy, Relator, Connectedness, and Intellection. I hold a Master of Arts in Instructional Systems Development from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), and a bachelor’s degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from UMBC.



When I’m not coaching and strategizing, I enjoy playing outdoors near my home in Ellicott City, Maryland with my husband and two sons, listening to jam bands, and cooking without a recipe.

 Hi, I'm Douglas Drewyer.

Dr. Drewyer is a 1982 graduate of the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. He has been in the private practice of General Dentistry in Montgomery County Maryland ever since. Drewyer Dentistry celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2026, as Douglas’ father, Darwin, established the practice now under the leadership of Douglas’ son, Dr. Austin Drewyer.In 2005, Dr. Drewyer earned his Masters of Arts in Applied Healing Arts from the Tai Sophia Institute (now – The Maryland University of Integrative Health).

As a member of the University of Maryland Dental School’s Dean’s Faculty since its inception in 2002, Douglas’ courses, “A Mindfulness Approach to Clinical Excellence” and “ A Mindfulness Approach to Conflict Resolution” have been a popular part of the Dental School’s DIII & DIV student curriculum for 24 years. He has shared presentations for the Pediatric Resident’s All Day retreat, the Dental Hygiene Program, the DIII Introduction to Clinic and the DI Professional Ethics Course.

“Doc” recently retired as the Head Coach of the Laurel American Legion Post 60 Baseball Club. Many of his articles on the Philosophy of Mindfulness, Meditation, Motivation and Leadership have appeared in Collegiate Baseball magazine.

He continues to embrace the distinctions of coming to life more fully so as to serve life more nobly, springing from a sagely stillness within to a sovereign service without, informed by his daily acknowledgement of “Life as Vacation.”
