Danielle Macleod is the co-founder of Remarkable Women, an organisation that offers development programmes and life coaching to help women unlock their exceptional potential.
Turning her back on a successful corporate career two years ago, she is now a published author and businesswoman, having published her first book “Remarkably Easy” in December 2018.
As believers in heart-centered leadership, Danielle and her business partner Nic Devlin are guided by a single mantra: “What if this was easy?”
Danielle joins me today to discuss what made her decide to leave behind her career in the corporate world and establish her own business. She shares her experiences in becoming business partners with her close friend, how their skills and attitudes are complementary, and the ground rules they set in order to be able to work efficiently.
She shares the ups and downs of running her own business, the interesting lessons she has learned along the way, and how she starts her day with writing. She also discusses her newly published book, what it’s really all about, and how it reflects her own personality.
“You want to explore your deepest dreams.”
