About Us

We believe that one day every single member of our communities will assume the responsibility of asking one fundamental question, both professionally and personally: “What have we done to make a difference to the world we live in?”.  Where will we be in the predicted Singularity year of 2045? An old Native American saying reminds us that “We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children.”

Here at Donna Pace & Associates, my brief is to bring an extraordinary group of people together, with the added value of our multicultural collective experience, and a toolbox of systems focused on 4 fundamental 21st century management principles.

They are the essential building blocks of this new paradigm leaderShift. Our areas of expertise and everything else that is aligned to them like 360º design thinking, talent, passion, respect, objectivity, tenacity, commitment, excellence and joy are the essential navigating instruments needed at the dawn of this new century.  Bearing in mind that we live in a universe where we easily trade speed for precision in a nano-second lifestyle, and notwithstanding the exponential choice and noise in cyber space, we are a particular breed of local and global professionals. It is our ambition to go for gold, bringing the alchemy of our resources to those who are ready to allow us to make an impact that can take root and flourish for the benefit of the individual, group, corporation, community.

We are a global community. The groups of magnificent people in their various capacities on board this ship are:

  • Colleagues and trainers from the dBTS (de Bono Thinking Systems) world
  • Collaborators and Partners specialized in Future Trends, Creativity, Leadership and Values
  • “Embassies” promoting our work

    Working and learning with Donna has been a real pleasure. Her ideas, communication skills and team working orientation helped to achieve high performance with the Six Thinking Hat technique in our company, helping us save almost 40% on time spent on creativity meetings.

Donna helped us at EADA to organize a conference with Edward de Bono (with 400 people) at the Hotel Arts in Barcelona. She has also taught seminars in-house on Lateral thinking and the famous “6 Thinking Hats” with great success.

    Donna is more than a professional in her job, I had the opportunity to attend one of her courses and managed to keep concentration all the time where normally after some time I lose concentration. For me only a few managed to do so in the so many courses I have attended in my life.

    Donna’s enthusiasm and conviction when imparting De Bono’s methodology, has a positive influence on pupils to assimilate what they are learning. De Bono’s method is good not only for creative situations, but also for daily situations such as the management of meetings, resolution of conflicts, etc.
