With her, high-powered clients create the shifts necessary to reimagine, realign and recalibrate the lives and careers of their wildest dreams.
Known for stoking the inner fire in every client she works with, Danielle coaches from her own experience of life-changing breakthroughs. Before bravely stepping out into entrepreneurship, she spent more than a decade with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where she held several key roles. As she quickly rose up the ranks from intern to manager, she realized that her rise as an African-American millennial within the organization was more of the exception than the standard. Deciding to do something about it, she started a small leadership strategy circle aimed at leveling the playing field for African-American millennials. The group soon morphed into a culture-changing movement serving hundreds across the organization, all drawn by the rich professional relationships and unconventional dialogue on leadership and personal development they had yet to find elsewhere.
It’s power moves like these that prove why Danielle is the coach millennials and leaders at large need. With her by their side, her clients gain clarity and experience breakthroughs necessary to conquer their worlds with authenticity, courage and confidence.
