This is a little of Dannielle’s Story…

The Context

Lifeline is a national charity providing all Australians experiencing a personal crisis with access to 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention services. Somewhere in Australia, there is a new call to Lifeline every minute. Dannielle was a senior executive within the national leadership team of Lifeline Australia.

Like many NGO’s the challenges of working in a state of rapid change, with a diverse workforce and service portfolio, spread across a national geographical footprint was both inspiring and challenging. The increasing Governance and strategic focus required high-level accountability, communication and cultural evolution.

How We Worked Together

Dannielle and I knew each other from previously working for another NFP years before. Danielle was given the opportunity to work with an executive coach by her CEO at Lifeline and as she was certain she wanted me in her corner.

Dannielle and I began executive coaching while she was in Canberra and I was in Brisbane. Utilising phone, Skype and face to face Danielle diligently used our Corporate Cinderella Signature 7 Framework, completing the Coaching Reflective Journal, and implemented many of the operational tactics I recommended for integrating the new team post-restructuring.

Dannielle sought a lifestyle change from the Canberra cold and sought my expertise in Executive Transition, to apply for senior roles in the sunshine state. Dannielle engaged me separately for this next phase.
