After being the sole employee not laid off in two different roles at two different jobs; being promoted within 1 - 2 years in a number of positions; and going from bringing in $72 in revenues her first month in business to bringing in over the median salary for coaches while only working 20-25 hours a week in 2019, Daphne understands how individuals can position themselves as being essential, valuable, and results-driven leaders who positively impact the people and environments around them. 

​

The Conference Board reports that over 53% of Americans are unhappy at work, and according to research by the Queens School of Business and Gallup, organizations with low employee engagement scores saw 18% lower productivity, 16% lower profitability, 37% lower job growth, and 65% lower share price over time. Individuals who are not operating at their full potential at work are not only more likely to leave their roles, but they're vastly affecting their companies' success.

​

Daphne has coached almost 200 individuals for over 1,000 hours and has done more than 100 speaking engagements within her coaching and training career. As a result, she has observed what the most successful business, career, and executive coaching clients have in common and she has developed key strategies that individuals and organizations can take to be able to operate at their fullest potential in order to take their career advancement and their companies to the next level!
