By: PRLog
From her first job to global transformation, DW&A's Chief Human Capital Strategist honors the leader who gave her the platform to rise and laid the foundation for a legacy that's still building.

ESTERILLOS, Costa Rica - June 24, 2025 - PRLog -- "I believed in my path. He built the stage."

That's how Dr. Dana D. Wells, award-winning Chief Human Capital Strategist and founder of DW&A, described her first boss, Terry Young, in a powerful new video filmed within the first 24 hours of her Costa Rica visit.

Thirty-four years after walking into his office as a full-time student and employee, Dr. Wells is no longer the mentee; she's the founder and CEO of DW&A, a human capital strategy firm that has helped clients achieve $1.5 billion in performance improvements, an 837% ROI, within five years.

In the video, recorded against the Pacific Ocean's backdrop, Dr. Wells and Mr. Young revisit the origin of a career transformation legacy: co-founding the Texas A&M University System's first-ever Technology Licensing Office, scaling from 4 to 40 people in three months, and generating $6 million in licensing revenue within three years.

"This wasn't just a reunion," said Dr. Wells. "It was a full-circle moment; proof that leadership legacy can transform generations."

"When I met Dana, I saw a spark," said Young. "It's no surprise she went on to lead at the level she does today."

Now, through her signature five-figure DW&A Career Transformation Accelerator™, Dr. Wells equips high-potential professionals with the strategy, clarity, and confidence to lead boldly and deliver measurable results. Her clients include Fortune 500 companies, leaders, veterans, first-time managers, and early career seekers ready to scale into next-level leadership.

This legacy moment is now the foundation of her upcoming Career Transformation Webinar: Get Ready. Get Hired. Get Paid.™ The Exclusive Career Masterclass to Unlock Purpose, Pay & Power, a high-impact session for success-driven professionals seeking to ignite their next level.
