Danielle has managed to turn huge adversity into a successful career as an entrepreneur. A rule change after London 2012 meant that she was no longer eligible to compete as a Paralympian and overnight she lost everything. She decided to channel her energy into helping others, making organisations more inclusive for disabled people and women. She takes a unique slant on diversity and inclusion and has had great success introducing elite performance strategies into that space to ensure everybody is engaged and working as cohesive teams. Danielle loves being able to put something back. So many people helped her achieve her sporting ambitions and she is passionate about helping young people raise aspirations, build confidence levels and make choices that lead to better results.

Dani has shown that you can change direction and still be successful. She has a tremendous personality but never makes anyone feel that they are not important and have tremendous skills themselves. I have benefited from NLP advice to not only help me in sport but achieve promotion. Her communication skills make you an avid follower and to see her working alongside a lovely young man to develop and create a book that is gaining a wealth of positive feedback is heartwarming. Watching her go from strength to strength encourages many others to recognise what they can do -excellent role model.

Danielle is a great example of how far people can go regardless of what gets in their way. When I first met her, I was so happy that she was so down to earth. People with her achievements can sometimes forget how to be human. After that initial conversation, I felt inspired, confident and positive. I'm sure that with the pure energy she has, Danielle will continue to make a positive change in the world. The society needs leaders like her.

Danielle is tireless in her dedication to sharing her experiences of overcoming impossible odds throughout her life. Her incredible leadership method is to shine the light on other, hidden leaders and she has boundless energy that permeates through and transcends all our needs for the human in an time of many technological driven disconnections and dystopias. We all knowingly or otherwise owe her a great debt of gratitude.
