It's Never as Scary as You Think

As someone who thrives in personal and professional growth, her ideal day typically starts with a great French press and something that challenges her mind. Often asked what led her to coaching, Danielle will tell you that nothing lights her on fire more than witnessing another person showing up with her whole heart, leading with love, passion, excitement, and purpose to do something they have always dreamed of.

How often do you give your team feedback? Is your feedback driven by your own insecurities or is it for the benefit of the employee?

Having worked with many leaders through one-on-one coaching and group training, Danielle Johnson advises leaders to create an authentic company culture that gives employees the room and tools to grow. Constructive feedback is a great starting point. Employees desire to work in an environment where they feel safe and are given the opportunity to explore their leadership potential. She, therefore, advises leaders to build trust with their team and give praise where it is due.
