Background

About Danielle Bennett

Danielle here, a dynamic, adaptable leader who loves strategic problem-solving. I embrace change, leading teams to achieve big challenges in the education industry. Problem-Solving / Systems Thinking I love a challenge! My ability to see the big picture enables to me to zoom in on the key levers to solve complex problems. Data analysis supports my decision-making, and we can always seek improvements in the way we work. The work may be the same, but the way we work is always changing. Strategic Leadership I am able to effectively communicate vision, directing strategic tactics and operational oversight, to meet team objectives. My career epitomises that the best way to achieve goals lies in working together. I use situational leadership, enabling team members to take responsibility for their successes, providing coaching and development opportunities as needed. I like to connect the dots from the big picture to the tactics on the ground. Persuasive Communicator - en français aussi I have implemented segmented & personalised communication plans in higher education to increase engagement, applications, & yields. I have been persuasively presenting to audiences of 1 to 200 for over 30 years. I am also fully bilingual in Canada's two official languages. Change Working with people gives me the variety I crave. I lead my teams to implement changes - in systems or processes - to keep customer service at its best. Always happy to connect to talk about my industry, including best practices (some learned the hard way)!
