Description goeGrowing an agency (with covid thrown in the middle) isn’t easy. I arrived at my sessions with Danielle feeling I was starting to fall out of love with my job - an industry I’d worked in for 20 years. I’d lost my sense of purpose, balance, focus and motivation. Working with Danielle over the past 6 months has been a transformative experience. I’ve re-connected with my values and purpose - why I get up in the morning! Our sessions provided a safe space for me to reflect and focus on leadership skills and problem-solving whilst we went on our growth journey. I would leave our sessions feeling uplifted, focused and with an actionable plan. Danielle stood out immediately for me. Hands on experience in the same industry, Danielle understands the challenges that come with a leadership role in an agency. Danielle listens and guides in sessions so you get to the answers you need and take back control. Direct, insightful and most importantly emotionally supportive. I’m more confident, level-headed and have found my confidence and voice again. I recommend anyone seeking positive change and a full life re-set at work and life to get in touch with Danielle

I came to Danielle having just resigned from my role of Marketing Director without a plan and with 6 months to shape my next step. I spoke to a few coaches but Danielle stood out from her focus on working with women and her depth of lived experience in commercial executive leadership. Just as importantly, I liked her immediately. The work we did together combined really deep work around strengths, values and limiting beliefs with practicalities like CV writing and preparing for interviews. Sometimes it was uncomfortable, we laughed a lot and I came out of our time together feeling permanently changed. In so many areas of my life I feel like I’m now operating at a different level; it’s akin to having had a complete software upgrade. At the end of our initial 6 months working together I started a new role which thoroughly excites me, plays to all my strengths and where I believe I can do my best work. Coaching is an investment of time, money and energy but my experience has been that working with Danielle accelerated my learning and my earning potential rapidly and significantly decreased wasted time. We’re about to start a new 6 month phase working together and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve.

Towards the end of 2023 I had fallen out of love with the business I founded in 2011. I was lacking in vision and energy. Realising that I needed to do something, I found Danielle, and she has been a life-changing find. Danielle has been the most fantastic companion on this coaching journey. From the start, I have felt deeply heard and seen by Danielle, who doesn’t offer a one-size-fits-all process or programme. Instead, she provides time and space that has felt perfectly created for me. We’ve worked together around values, strengths and the limiting beliefs which have been holding me back. We’ve laughed and cried. Through it all, Danielle has helped and supported me to imbed life-changing habits that have already positively impacted both work and home life. Coaching has been an investment in terms of time, energy and money but it has absolutely been worth it. It’s not always been easy but I can honestly say that in the last 6 months I have reconnected with myself and have fallen back in love with the business. I’m excited about the possibilities for the future. Thank you for your kindness, deep listening, challenge and encouragement. I’m proud of what we have achieved together and can’t wait to continue our journey in the autumn.

Being a female founder can be hard enough. Before I reached out to Danielle, I was almost at breaking point. I kept thinking to myself “I have my dream job, why am I falling out of love with it?”. I found my saviour in Danielle. Our sessions change every time we meet depending on what’s going on, the challenges and hurdles I’m facing and sometimes even a bit of emotional/psychological support to get my overworked brain back on track. Sometimes, all I need is a reminder of how far I’ve come and the successful business I started and continue to grow every day. Since starting with Danielle, Little Journey has doubled in size, we have landed our biggest ever contracts and found partnerships with game-changing businesses. Personally, I am more confident, level-headed and getting into the groove of being an excellent leader. What’s more, I have a much better mindset and attitude towards work, with better work/life balance habits since working with Danielle. If you’re in search of a strong female role model, I cannot recommend Danielle enough. She’s changed my life and how I lead my team/business at Little Journey. Danielle has helped me so much and brought so much value, we are now paying for personal leadership coaches for all leaders at Little Journey!”

When I started working with Danielle 6 months ago, I’d just landed a promotion at work and that was the catalyst for me. I was hooked after our first session together and left thinking ‘why did I wait so long to do this?’. Fast forward 6 months and I can honestly say that working with Danielle has truly been life changing for me. I’ve always struggled with low self belief and would struggle if plans changed. I had no boundaries at work, was working long hours and struggled to sleep. Danielle has an amazing ability to listen intently, ask insightful questions that really make you think hard and self reflect. She provides an environment where you feel like you can speak to her about anything, and she’ll always have your back. Her approach is so practical, direct and helpful. Danielle has helped me navigate so much in the last 6 months and I feel like I have a new lease of life. I’m in a higher leadership role at work and I’m able to think more clearly, am more intentional and I work more efficiently because I have boundaries .My self belief has improved and I no longer deviate into panic mode. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her now - everyone needs Danielle Bateman in their life! I absolutely love our sessions and am so excited to see what the next 6 months’ sessions bring

Since i've begun coaching with Danielle to say my life has improved is an understatement She has helped me to truly understand myself better than anyone I’ve ever met before. She is incredibly knowledgeable and calming. I trust her 100% and admire her hugely. As a mother with a young son and my own business, the load I carried felt overwhelming at times, my life felt chaotic and lacking clear direction, i felt trapped. I felt i was doing a bad job of everything and thought I needed to choose between being a mum and having my own business. Danielle showed me another way things could be, helped me to find ways of striking a balance, so I could have the best of both worlds. She has helped me to find my voice, to feel empowered and shown me tools and techniques to help me be more assertive and get what i want out of life. I’m so thankful for all Danielle has done for me and is doing. I feel I’m finally beginning to thrive and create the life I’ve always wanted.

Working with Danielle over the last 6 months has been truly life changing. Mum guilt was a real thing for me and trying to juggle a career, family and a small business has often been extremely chaotic and I felt I wasn’t achieving anything. Danielle helped me to create more balance and set out a clear vision of what was important to me. Fast forward Six months and I have a promotion, feel physically and mentally stronger and am able to spend quality time together as a family ensuring I am present without feeling guilt from other elements. Danielle is great to work with she listens to you and helps you to find the route cause of what might be the real trigger point. I am so thankful to Danielle and will definitely be working with her again in 2023.

When I met Danielle 6 months ago, I had just landed a huge promotion and was preparing to step into the most senior role of my career. . I was operating at a high level at work but my performance was fuelled by anxiety. I was working late every evening, sleeping poorly, had no routine and I was extremely emotional. Danielle helped me take back control and bring awareness to the many choices I have in front of me each day. She helped me work out what the conditions are that I need to have in place to honour my values and ultimately be the best version of myself.. Now I’m thriving at work and other people have begun commenting on how calm, considered, and confident I am .Danielle is an inspiring woman whose empathy, kindness, and realness make it easy to open up and share your most intimate feelings and thoughts. I would recommend her if you know you need to make changes . She challenges you to pause, zoom out, and identify the behaviours that are holding you back. (She helped me realise the only person blocking me was me!) She makes you feel like she is your biggest supporter who is cheering you on through all of the ups and downs of your career. I leave every session feeling ready to take on the world. I am beyond grateful to be continuing my work with her and can’t wait to see how different my life looks in another 6 months.

I just started a new job in a new industry and city and saw my confidence plunge The sessions with Danielle have been incredible. I’ve learnt to reconnect to me, to access the resources within me and learn other tools that Danielle gave me that have been key in improving relationships at work , finding my voice and dealing with difficult situations. I’m so thankful because after only 4 months I’ve really connected to my inner power and confidence. It’s unique as well that Danielle, as a high exec for many years, can really empathise with what we go through and provide a deep understanding and pragmatic approaches to coaching. Investing in Danielle’s Coaching is investing in ourselves and a better , healthier more balanced career. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough. I felt that I was at a huge cross roads in my life, about to embark on the world of self-employment and overwhelmed with my own chaotic mind. Danielle helped me see clearly, plan efficiently, and dispel some of the ‘rules’ I had set myself since school, without consciously realising they were stopping me from living in the world I wanted to create for myself. I have recommended Danielle to so many of my friend, its without a doubt in my mind she has changed my life in a positive way, and I am eternally grateful for Danielle helping me to get my world back, and going in the direction I want to go in, and what I have worked hard for. Thank you doesn’t even being to cover it

I would recommend Danielle’s services to all my friends. She has a real skill for allowing you to feel comfortable and open up. I think her combination of coaching and mentoring worked really well for me and she’s great at knowing when to step into each role in order to find the best way to work through the issue you’re dealing with. This is reflected in the work she’s helped me with so far, which includes working to improve my personal relationships and also helping me to progress in my career. Getting the balance between my personal relationships and career right is especially important for me as I have a young child and I want to reach my potential career wise without feeling like I’m sacrificing who I want to be as a mother. The help Danielle has given me has been invaluable in achieving this.

Working with Danielle has changed my business. I initially looked at coaching as I wanted to drive my business forward but I was too overwhelmed to know where to begin. Danielle quickly identified that I needed to change my employee mindset into a business owner mindset. Danielle gave me the confidence to go into difficult conversations feeling empowered. She doesn’t tell you what to do, she makes you think about what you want and how to get there. You end a session feeling clear and confident on your actions. In just a few months, I am more confident, my revenue has increased and I know how I want to shape my business. I will continue to work with Danielle to keep me on track and I know her advice and mentoring will be instrumental in growing my business.

I took a huge step forward in my work and personal life and I put that down to working with Danielle. Danielle has just got the perfect balance of calm and support, whilst being a strong, successful woman. I felt like I was in exactly the right place, understood and able to be totally honest with her. The coaching came into my life at a point where I’d lost my way with work, and decisions about my future were getting muddled. Danielle quickly understood the kind of person I am, and got me 100% ready for my next steps. I got clear about what I want, identified the thought-processes holding me back, and put in mini strategies (that I have used regularly) to keep me on that path. Not only do I 100% recommend Danielle, I see her as an important part of my ‘support team’ going forward with my business and personal journey.

I can highly recommend Danielle to any individual or business looking to improve employment prospects and overall wellbeing. Danielle’s coaching was extremely effective in helping me gain perspective on my ambitions, and establish a very clear career pathway which realistically fits around my family life. We covered so much ground over 7 sessions and I made some big, life changing decisions, which will make a real impact on my performance at work and work life balance. I moved from feeling stuck and unsure of my future, to making an exciting career plan. Implementing the actions will improve my morale and relationships and importantly reduce my stress levels. I look forward now to returning to work trialling the many helpful actions Danielle helped me set.
