REINVENTING-U with Danielle Silverman

I had deep need to accomplish something new. Talking with Danielle allowed me to see possibilities and grasp opportunities to make changes in my path which led to obtaining a new job. Danielle is someone who is professional, opened minded and resourceful. I thank her for accompanying me on my journey.

Danielle is a warm and compassionate coach who I would recommend to anyone looking for a new direction in their career and life. Danielle helped me discover my “why” with her active listening skills and ability of asking the right questions. Through our meetings, she gave me the opportunity to envision a future where I was thriving in a career I loved. Not only that, she helped me redesign my CV and cover letter, as well as gave me the tools to better develop my networking and communication skills, which ultimately landed me a new job that I am truly passionate about! Thanks to Danielle, I am more energized and motivated in my career because I am now living my vision!

Danielle was a huge help in working with me
Do I stay or do I go? That is the question that Danielle helped me answer about two and a half years ago. She was my career coach at the time. I was exploring next step career opportunities within and outside of my employer at the time. Looking for a win-win for me and my employer. With my employer’s consent (BTW. Thanks for that ?). Danielle was a huge help in working with me to come up with the answer. I will spare you the details, you can read about them in my book. But there was one question that Danielle asked me that sealed the deal. A good coach does not have to ask a lot of questions. If they are listening and picking up on the right vibes, they only have to ask a few. The date that I gave myself to make my “do I stay or do I go” decision was fast approaching. I was leaning toward going but that was pretty scary since it involved a lot of unknowns, and I was close to 50 years old at the time. When I described what I would be doing, stuff I had never tried before, I became hesitant. I told her I thought I would like to do those things. The people I had met as part of my discovery phase thought I would also like to do those things. and that I would be good at them (BTW. Thanks for the feedback ?). I thought but I was not sure. After all, I had never done any of them. That is when she asked me the question. “You don’t know what you don’t know. So, how will you ever know if you don’t try?” Touché! I went! And I have not looked back since. It has been quite the journey since. Thanks Danielle for helping me get started on the new phase of my career journey. That new part of my life journey.

I could not recommend Danielle more. Within 20 minutes of our conversation, she was able to pin point the root cause of my issues and communicate them effectively to me. Danielle is professional, yet warm in her demeanour. The experience was incredibly refreshing to which I am so thankful for having it.

Danielle is professional and dedicated to her clients. She is both true to herself and to her clients in sharing feedback elements that are essential to our development. She is courageous and authentic. I have been privileged to meet Danielle in 2013 during a Career Transition period where both her warm, communicating approach and her logical, structured process helped me envision new directions. In any professional relationship, a very large percentage of the success is to feel connected with the coach. With Danielle, this connection is facilitated by her natural gifts of caring, listening and getting people in action. I strongly recommend her.
