YOUR HOSTS
DIANE MACKINNON
Diane MacKinnon, MD, is a Master Certified Life Coach who started out as a family physician. She got into coaching to help her patients make the positive changes they needed to make to live healthier, happier lives. After coaching and seeing patients for years (the best of both worlds) she switched to coaching and mothering, so she still has the best of both worlds!
Diane works with a lot of medical professionals, given her background, and especially loves helping women in the medical profession who, like her, want a thriving life outside of work as well as a satisfying career.
HEATHER CHAVIN, MA
I started GoGoDone in the summer of 2019 within Seth Godin’s Akimbo Alumni Community. Since then, GoGoDone has been co-created with its amazing hosts and GoGoDone-ers and we’ve opened it to anyone who wants to be more productive and feel better about getting the hard work done.
As a remote worker, I started GoGoDone because I get exponentially more work done if I’m held accountable and schedule my projects. I also flourish with a little bit of community and laughter. The GoGoDone structure has helped me learn how long projects take and has given me an incredibly diverse place to mastermind my ideas. These are things I can’t get in a conventional office.
Besides managing the operations of GoGoDone, I coach independently and for Seth Godin’s altMBA and lead workshops and e-learning experiences. My focus areas are leadership, productivity, accountability and habit change all through the lens of self-reflection and awareness. My background is in inbound digital marketing and counseling.

Michele discovered GoGoDone after participating in an Akimbo workshop and wishes she had known about the magic of working with other people in this way forever. With a life-long habit of procrastination and recognition that she works well with outside accountability, Michele has become a frequent participant. It has helped her get work done, meet people from all over the world and check things off her list. Win, win, win!
Michele lives in Pennsylvania, is married to a Frenchman and has two teenagers that keep her on her toes.
