In this webinar, we’ll talk with Danielle about her book The Firestarter Sessions, where she goes rogue with her unique and refreshing perspective.

What you will learn:

• Life balance is a myth, and the pursuit of it is causing us more stress than the craving for balance itself.
• Being well-rounded is highly over-rated. When you focus on developing your true strengths you enter your mastery zone.
• Screw your principles, well, some of them. (They might be holding you back.)
• We have ambition backwards. Getting clear on how you want to feel in your life + work is more important than setting goals. It’s the most potent form of clarity that you can have, and it’s what leads to true fulfillment.
• Competency is for suckers. Your most valuable currency is what comes naturally to you. When you focus on developing your true strengths, you enter your mastery zone.
• You’re an artist, and that’s that. When we’re giving our best, we’re being artistic. When you’re bringing your whole self to the party, you’re making poetry happen — and you do it all the time, naturally.
• Be the giver. Force it if you have to. Make generosity part of your growth strategy and you will cross that sacred divide where love is no longer a concept but is your soul made manifest. You. Giving. Love. Gorgeous.

Danielle’s personal narrative of loss and achievement — from boardrooms to ashrams — flows with stories of women and men who stopped playing it safe, deepened their commitment to their soul, and became freedom seekers and fear tamers. Danielle has worked with stay-at-home moms who are wracked with guilt because they are itching to get back to work, Buddhist minimalistswho want to crack six figures a year, best-selling authors living in the shadow of their more-successful parents and marine biologists who want to bring science to the people – and has helped them all achieve their dreams

Danielle began her career as co-director of The Body Shop Canada’s Department of Social Inventions. As the executive director of a Washington-DC think tank, Danielle managed a team of futurists studying global trends for the likes of the Pentagon and the World Bank…though she never went to college herself. She ran her own communications agency in Vancouver, “promoting visionary people & projects,” including Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, philosophers, and a few old folk heroes, and has written company manifesto books for Lululemon and Pier1. In her 1-on-1 strategy sessions, she’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs get clear on what success truly means for them.
