Hi There! My name is Vernette Daniel and I am an engineer turned Human Resources executive with 26+ years of experience working for Fortune 500 companies across multiple industries, functional areas and geographies. I formally found my way into the world of HR 11 years ago, but a consistent theme throughout my career has been my passion and ability for helping people and organizations connect the dots that don’t always seem obvious and create realistic roadmaps for desired outcomes. I am a high-achieving, Caribbean-born woman of color who is first in my family to get to the executive level in corporate America. While my work ethic and values have played a major role in my success, they weren’t enough to save me from complete burnout post-pandemic when the demands of senior leadership and “adulting” took their toll. It was then that I was introduced to the power of coaching. It has proven invaluable in helping me reimagine and become the type of executive, leader and overall human I want to be in the world. Now, I bring the totality of these experiences with me as I embark on the exciting new journey of becoming an ICF (International Coaching Federation) certified coach. I am passionate about helping others tap into the infinite resources they possess to unlock their next level of personal and professional development. Whether you're looking to refine your leadership skills, navigate complex organizational dynamics or process a challenging career transition, I'm here to support you. Let's connect and take your leadership journey to the next level! Key areas of focus include, but are not limited to: leadership effectiveness career clarity & transitions early career navigation burnout prevention/recovery imposter syndrome work/life integration
