In plain speak, I work with people to navigate life and work challenges, well.

I have a successful 17-year career as an award-winning HR practitioner with experience in leadership, coaching, organisational and workforce change, governance, and management consulting with Big 4 Consulting Firm, PwC. As a business owner, I bring hands-on, real-life experience to my coaching and advisory services. Chat with me about:

  • Personal and professional coaching - I help you navigate changes in your work and personal life with power, clarity, and success.

  • Leadership and business owner coaching - I assist you in leading with intent, insight, and impact.

  • Business change and transformation - I work with organisations to shape, navigate, and transition workforce and workplace changes and transformations successfully.

  • Capability development - I deliver purposeful workshops, training, development, and key notes focusing on the sacred triangle of humans, work, and change.

I love what’s possible when humans harness the opportunities presented by change and feel empowered to own, lead and achieve meaningful outcomes. This is my purpose, my expertise, and my power-space.

Smart change requires support.

  • I started my business a year ago, and this year I hit a point where I felt overwhelmed with my workload, working around the clock and needing to come up for air. Finding a female business coach was important to me, and Danni's experience with leadership was exactly what I needed.

    Working with Danni has been a game changer. From our first session, she really understood my challenges and offered personalised, practical advice that I have easily implemented and it has truly worked. At first, I was worried that getting coaching would feel like taking on more, but it has been the opposite. She has helped me put my challenges into bite size pieces that are logical, practical and easy to implement.

    Danni's strategies for time management and stress reduction have transformed my daily routine. She also helped me adopt and strengthen my business mindset, assisting with growth and turning obstacles into learning opportunities. Her support has been amazing, boosting my confidence and helping me identify clear, achievable goals.

    Danni is one of a kind, an amazing mentor who genuinely cares about helping you be the best you can be. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, needing guidance with change or levelling up - I highly recommend working with her. She has the expertise to guide you through effective change and help you achieve your goals.
