What Our Clients Say
"[Danielle] was very perceptive from the start and right from our first intro meeting, I was impressed by her ability to ask powerful questions that I wouldn't have thought about otherwise. I would recommend her to anyone in need of an executive coach without reservation regardless of where they are in their career.”
James Won
Vice President (Financial Services)
"I had the pleasure of working with Danielle this year as an executive coach, and it was truly a life-changing experience. Danielle helped to build my confidence as a leader and helped me define my core values, mitigate bad habits formed over time, and pushed me to re-write the next chapter of my career. Danielle has that rare quality of being both empathetic but helping you be accountable to the change you want to see in your life. I cannot say enough good things about Danielle, and I would recommend her to anyone in need of an executive coach.”
Hallie Johnston
Global Head of Client Operations (Advertising)
“[Danielle] is a brilliant coach who has helped me develop as a leader in so many important ways. I started the relationship out of a desire to improve my "executive presence," but I have gained so much more. My expectation was that Danielle would teach me how to act more like an executive, when in reality, she has helped me to remove roadblocks, challenge my thinking and perceptions, and become a leader. With kindness, wit, and endless patience, Danielle has helped me to tap into my own potential. Working with her is an investment in my professional career, both now and in the future, and worth every penny.”
Kristen Perry
Chief Communications Officer (Non Profit)
"Danielle served as my executive coach for almost 2 years, and it was a wonderful experience. She really helped me think through difficult situations, helped me better understand my own goals, and challenged me to think critically when evaluating difficult decisions. Danielle uses great frameworks and tools but also always comes from the heart and really seeks to understand what matters. I highly recommend her as a coach and would not hesitate to use her again.“
Eric Thum
Vice President/Head of Marketing (Commercial Real Estate)
"Words cannot describe how important Danielle has been to both my professional and personal development. She is an outstanding coach: she sees you for who you are, she empowers you to take choices aligned with your values, she doesn't project any of her opinions on your life, but she also knows when to step in and challenge your patterns of thinking when she sees that they are no longer serving you…[Danielle’s] ability to navigate all topics—from your day-to-day job and career aspirations to your deepest emotions—is unparalleled.”

Alexa Bailey
Global Head Executive Talent (HR/Financial Services)
"I have been a leader in business for 30 years and have experienced numerous styles and methods of coaching.

LeeAnne Swift
Sr. Manager (Pharma/Vision)
"Danielle and I began our coaching relationship at a point where I was really struggling to find purpose and meaning in my role which was impacting my performance and my happiness. In our time together she was instrumental in helping me to center around a set of core values through which I was able to better internalize that purpose and meaning. I consider our work together one of the most meaningful professional development engagements I've ever had.”
Matt Mitchell
Sr. Director (Financial Services)
"Working with Danielle was a true game changer for me. She illuminated for me how my values were not completely aligned with how I was showing up as a leader, and taught me ways to bring my leadership into alignment. Danielle is a great coach- she listens, advises, and pushes you past your boundaries, when she feels it is needed. Danielle's coaching opened up a new world for me in terms of how I now show up as a leader- shifting my perspective and my habits enabled my team to be more productive, and for me to elevate my leadership style to a place of vision and creativity. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from Danielle.”
Kate Wilson

I am fortunate that she's become a valued trusted adviser for me and I highly encourage others to engage her.”
Alain Paoli
Vice President (Consulting)
"I have really enjoyed working with Danielle. Every session has been interesting and insightful [and] I leave each session with new tools that have helped me in my decision making, planning and self-inspection. I enjoy having an outside voice help me shift my thinking and perspective just enough to look at a situation from a different angle, giving me more power and understanding of myself and the life that I have created.”
Jennifer Fox
CEO (Property Management/Real Estate)
"Danielle is a natural at what she does. In my 15 years as an executive coach, it is not often that I meet someone who has a true solid combination of business expertise/understanding and a strong intuitive, solution orientation. Danielle asks just the right questions to get at the heart of the matter while also providing practical and logical insights which are so necessary in the business world. This makes her an incredibly valuable executive coach and thought partner to anyone in business, no matter their role. She has made a huge difference in my life.”
