Over the last decade, I have noticed that many professionals who are unhappy with their career are not using their time and talents in a way that feels meaningful to them.
Whether it is a small pivot within one’s role or a complete career overhaul, the greatest impact comes from being more...
I've been alluding to some exciting news for quite some time. On October 30th, I'll be releasing The Inner Compass Process online course.
I designed this self-paced course because I noticed that when career changers were stuck, it was because their careers were reinforcing...

Yah ! My episode with Confessions of a Sales Pro, The Ian Selbie Podcast, has just been released!
I love that I was able to speak with Ian about something that is near and dear to me, which is how to determine if...
It was 2017, I was living and teaching English in Shanghai, China, and I thought I was entering a career I would love. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for me to realize that this field wasn’t for me, and yet it still took me a year to make a change and reach out for help.
While my...
In 2012, I wanted to start a business for various reasons, but I did not know what to start. Many of my friends were getting married, so I was coordinating a lot of bachelorette parties. I had a random thought — wouldn’t it be fun to invent a shot glass in the shape of a toilet...
I've been reflecting on external pressures I experienced earlier in my career:
"Danielle, you should go to grad school because you only have a bachelor's in social work."

In all honesty, a lot of these...

I felt bombarded by the messages that one person, career, or role (like parenthood), would eventually meet my needs from an...
My niece is learning to walk! It’s so much fun to watch her push herself up, stumble around, and take a few steps before falling back down again. She laughs and giggles almost every time. I love watching her take joy in learning something new.
As a former school social worker,...
Have you seen the latest Truist commercials? They’re brilliant! Of all the videos that I’ve seen that accurately portray the idea, "What do I want to be when I grow up?", these are the closest ones to match reality.
I have to admit, I believe the way careers are introduced to us as...
I was a runner in high school. While I mostly ran long-distance, I also sprinted the 400m, during track season. The interesting thing about sprints, opposed to long-distance running, is that it requires more downtime during the workout.
In business (Agile or SCRUM methods), there's the concept of...
Over this last week, I've been working on a speech that I'm presenting to a tech association next month.
In the past, I would have written my speech and re-read it again and again, hoping that it would help me when I would take the stage. It never worked because I would fumble...
I read Serena Williams's incredible letter to Vogue about her announcement that she's moving on from her tennis career. I'm in tears.
Ms. Williams writes, "Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family...
...But I’m turning 41 this month, and...
