Dana Guillory
Dana Guillory, a retired Army veteran, is the founder Potential Realized, a leading motivational and consulting company. She is a highly regarded and enthusiastic professional public speaker, facilitator, and coach. She is also a well-respected and decorated athlete within both the running and bodybuilding communities. Dana attributes her success in large part to her childhood. After her father died, Dana and her siblings were placed in separate foster homes. The mental, physical and sexual abuse she endured began shortly after her arrival and continued for several years until she enlisted into the Army and left. Her brutal childhood left deep emotional and everlasting physical scars that took a very long time to heal from. After serving more than 20 years in the military, she found herself searching for ways to continue to make a difference in the world. She founded Potential Realized so she could continue her mission of motivating and inspiring others. Her struggles and triumphs have helped mold her into a strong, positive, encouraging, and outgoing woman. She has an uncanny ability to pull from her life’s experiences and connect with others in a way that her message resonates and dramatically impacts them. Dana’s message of survival, perseverance, empathy and positivity gives hope to others and enlightens those that are unaware of what may be happening around them.
