“This leadership development course was helpful in that it helped me figure out what areas of future professional development I should focus on. I was at a crossroads in my professional career where I was wondering if I should return to school and get a terminal degree, or if I should do something completely different. Learning about my top strengths and where I could take those allowed me to further develop those skills in my current work environment. I also received guidance and help with real life work challenges that I was experiencing in a way that activated my strengths and reminded me that I already had all the tools I needed to succeed. I highly recommend this for those who are new and seasoned professionals alike!”

“Rooted & Rising was truly transformative for me. It gave me the rare opportunity to slow down and deeply examine my strengths with clarity, intention, and courage. I left feeling affirmed and equipped with powerful, practical tools that I’m already applying in my current role and will carry with me throughout my long-term career. Danny creates an experience that is thoughtful, rigorous, and deeply empowering. I’m incredibly grateful for this experience and would encourage anyone considering it to say yes. If you have the opportunity to participate, take it; it is an investment in yourself that truly pays off.”
