It all began with an idea…what if?
What if work could be more than just a job? What if leaders could create a space where employees feel valued, motivated, and inspired? What if workers really engaged with their careers? Imagine a workplace where employees spend most of their time not just getting through the day, but contributing to something meaningful.
We spend more time with our colleagues than we do with our own families and friends. Yet too often, work feels chaotic, with miscommunication, low morale, and the sizzle of burnout firefighting productivity. So, what if leaders could transform an environment into a space of innovation, creativity, and fulfillment?
At Danielle Rowley Coaching, I believe leaders have the opportunity to end organizational chaos and foster flow and thrive in organizational practice. Through our tailored coaching, I will help leaders shift from managing problems to empowering others and feeling proud in the process.
Then I considered...
What if happiness could be influenced outside of the organization?
Why do great and successful leaders inspire others but battle the real and imaginable struggles themselves?
What if we could align happiness with leadership practice?
The most successful people, whether known as an ‘official’ leader or not, are those who achieve what they dream. Those who thrive, those who create flow and inspire others to achieve more than they believe is possible.
True happiness doesn’t come from what we own, who we own, or how we own. It’s deeper. It’s ingrained - it’s within you already.
You just need to know how to find it.
And so it began…
The Positive Journey
I am Danielle.
Firstly and foremost, I am a mum of 2, a wife, a daughter, a sister and a friend -without a doubt my most important roles.
I am student of why!, with life long study of People and human development. from an early age I recognised my ability to read people and I enjoyed doing this.
But I have also been a coach, a business owner, a student and an advisor - at one point all at the same time. I’ve experienced many challenges (in life and business) and I’ve coached desperate people through life-changing situations.
Officially I was studied for Remarkable levels of happiness and resilience by the University of Pennsylvania founding father of positive psychology - Martin Selgimans Team.
But the deepest truth is that I lived most of my life fearing - feeling unsure and worried, I could appear confident on the outside whilst totally lacking it deep down, on the inside. And regardless of how much I achieved in life, I was envious of those around me who always seemed to create more or bigger or better than I ever thought I could. so I experienced a life driven by unconscious drama, I created my own issues. Until I learned to refocus on myself following multiple traumas. I learnt to how resilience really works, Realising you only know you have it when you need it. self sabotaging behaviour resulted from loss, pain, shame and facial disfiguration. Realistically, I struggled no more than maybe the next, but my drama fuelled ‘fight or flight’ response allowed me the reflective opportunity to consider human behaviours even more. I soon realised the percieved drama influenced my choices and I learnt to control my own reactions, building my self and social awareness was the turning point in my life.
WHO AM I REALLY : I am a travel lover, a learning lover, a season lover, a home lover, a beach lover, a gathering lover, a mountain lover… a walker, a skier and sun bed lounger. I am a ski technician, a barista and an extreme empath. I read way too many books on self development, I watch sooo many podcasts of life changes, I reflect on everything and I love asking why? so I study and research it to find out more… I am exceptionally talented at linking perspectives and posing questioning powerfully—ensuring the clarity of the wood from the trees.
I am a people person but at the same time, im outcome focused. I am an extrovert and an introvert all at once, My greatest achievement are my family - my children, my recovery and my career. I work full time in the police, passionately working as a Organisational development and culture specialist; I train The Leadership and I am a multiple module lead for the Degree level Coaching professional apprenticeship.
Outside of my family and friends - My personal values are honesty, kindness, humour, love of learning, creativity and adventure.
My work has meaning,I invest a huge amount of my time, money and energy to change. I studied for 10 years part time, with 3 jobs and 2 very busy children social calendars to find it. But is soon realised I missed the spark coaching gives, I missed helping people to help themselves, I missed the lightbulb moments, the ah-ha’s! the investment, the study, the changes and the clarity. Daily I learn from those in powerful positions, those who struggle, those who protect and those who love - I have the greatest inspirational mentor and boss - who guides me and supports me.I realised life is for living. - I don’t have to choose between Worthwhile employment and employment of impact - I can do both.
So here I am!
