Kia ora, I’m Danni Ermilova Williams
I am a leadership coach, business change consultant and an HR specialist
I work with people and organisations to lead authentically and to shape and deliver change that makes sense and lands.
My work blends leadership coaching, pragmatic HR advice, and expertise in shaping business change that brings people with you - not through theory, but through clarity and smart action.
With 20 years across HR leadership, business change, coaching, and Big 4 consulting, I partner with leaders and teams to:
Think sharply and make confident decisions
Shape and land change with minimal noise and maximum buy-in
Strengthen leadership capability and impact
Build skills through workshops, training, and speaking
Refine HR and people strategies to be practical and outcome-focused
Test, challenge, and elevate thinking with a trusted sounding board.
I work with leaders who are new to HR and change, and with experienced HR teams seeking strategic depth and sharper thinking. If the goal is clarity, capability, and meaningful progress. This is where I work best.
Smart change requires smart support.
