Danzger Group - Igniting Finance and Tech Careers

Are you finding it really hard to achieve your career objectives? Getting a job or transitioning out of what that doesn’t suit you. Or maybe you need to improve your current work situation?

I’m the solution. I help you land a gratifying, rewarding job or internship matched to your strengths and interests and to succeed in your career. I do this through one-on-one coaching and advising with a holistic, design-oriented approach.

I help you get off the hamster wheel of simply constantly applying to jobs and hearing crickets. I teach you how to supplement those applications with networking in a way that doesn’t feel cringey.

We’ll start by ensuring that you have some clarity on what you might like to do. It’s better to take a moment to reflect on where your strengths and interests might best be applied than to start randomly applying to jobs.

I ensure that your career documents (resume, LinkedIn, and cover letter) are in great shape.

I help you land and prepare for meetings and interviews.

I help you with the important, yet often-overlooked, things that many career coaches don’t consider, like evaluating and negotiating job offers and getting off on the right foot in a new job.

In short, I help you:

• Identify your strengths and passions to suggest career direction
• Create materials to present themselves in the most attractive light (e.g., resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter)
• Learn how to build and grow your professional network to help land a job
• Master meeting and interviewing skills
• Understand how to evaluate and negotiate offers
• Succeed in the workplace with an early action plan

Career Coach and Advisor

I uplevel your career documents so you get more interviews and offers.

In today’s busy world, people who read your resume and LinkedIn profile give them quick scans. They must be concise and demonstrate what you can do for your next employer.

I transform your resume from a laundry list of roles and responsibilities to compelling, quantified accomplishments and achievements that make people stand up and take notice. 

When I’m through, you’ll not only have a polished resume, LinkedIn profile, and cover letter, but you’ll be better prepared in meetings and interviews when you see how I’ve communicated you to others in writing.

CEO and Head Coach

Career coach and job search strategist helping executives get the career they want 🎯

There’s a difference between being trusted to execute
and being trusted to decide.

Many senior leaders are heavily relied on,
but only to carry out what others have already decided.

Execution builds credibility.
Decision authority builds influence.

The frustration sets in when you’re accountable for outcomes
without being part of the decision that shaped them.

Next week’s Executive Strategy Session is for senior leaders reassessing where they sit in that gap.

Details are on my profile.

Trusted Advisor to Senior Leaders at Career & Leadership Inflection Points

Career transitions don’t announce themselves loudly.

They show up as small signals.

A role that no longer stretches you.
Decisions happening without you in the room.
Responsibility that grows faster than authority.

Most leaders sense this long before they act on it.

The question isn’t whether something is shifting.
It’s whether you’re taking the time to assess it deliberately.

I’m hosting a private Executive Strategy Session on Executive Transitions this Thursday for leaders who want to think clearly before the window narrows.

Details are on my profile.

Senior roles don’t get easier.
They get quieter.

Fewer obvious moves.
Fewer clear signals.
More decisions that shape months, not weeks.

At that level, success isn’t about speed.
It’s about decision quality.

The leaders who advance aren’t the most active.
They’re the most deliberate.

Next week, I’m hosting a private Executive Strategy Session for senior leaders navigating these quieter, higher-stakes decisions.
Details are on my profile.

At senior levels, waiting feels safe.

Nothing breaks.
Nothing forces a decision.

But while you wait:
• scope gets redefined
• expectations shift
• the narrative around your role hardens

Not because you did anything wrong.
Because organizations keep moving.

Strategic leaders don’t rush decisions.
But they don’t drift either.

Thursday’s Executive Strategy Session is for leaders who want to assess where they stand before momentum decides for them.

Details are on my profile.

The fastest way to stall your career isn’t failure.

It’s tolerating things you shouldn’t.

Tolerating:
• being accountable for outcomes you don’t control
• scope that keeps expanding without real authority
• compensation that’s “close enough for now”

Strong leaders don’t wait for permission to raise standards.

They decide what no longer fits, and stop normalizing it.

If this resonates, I’m hosting a private Executive Strategy Session next week for senior leaders reassessing scope, leverage, and positioning.

Details are on my profile.

Most leaders are over-working the wrong problems.

They spend months optimizing execution
while avoiding the harder question of leverage.

Leverage isn’t effort.
It’s where your judgment changes the outcome.

When leverage is clear:
• fewer meetings matter
• fewer decisions matter
• fewer people need convincing

I’m covering how to identify real leverage in a private Executive Strategy Session next week.

Details are on my profile.

Clarity isn’t motivational.
It’s operational.

When things are clear:
• decisions accelerate
• energy stops leaking
• trade-offs become obvious

Most leaders don’t need more ideas.
They need fewer open loops.

Precision isn’t intensity.
It’s restraint.

That’s exactly what we’ll work through in next week’s Executive Strategy Session.

Details are on my profile.

Most career transitions don’t arrive during moments of stress.

They surface during moments of comfort.

When things are “fine.”
When the role still works on paper.
When there’s no forcing function to decide.

That’s when decisions quietly get made for you:
· by the company
· by shifting priorities
· by the market

Nothing goes wrong.
But your range of options narrows.

If you’re using this weekend to think more carefully about where you stand, I’m hosting a private Executive Strategy Session next week for leaders navigating career transitions.

Details are on my profile.

Some decisions don’t surface during the workweek.

They emerge in quieter moments when there’s space to think without reacting.

Knowing:
• when to stay and recalibrate
• when to push for expanded scope
• when a role has reached its natural limit

Those aren’t emotional decisions.
They’re strategic ones.

That’s exactly what we’ll work through in next week’s Executive Strategy Session for leaders navigating career transitions.

Details are on my profile.

Most leaders don’t need advice.

They need space to think without reacting.

Space to step back from:
• the weekly noise
• the internal politics
• the pressure to “just keep executing”

That space is rare.
Which is why it has to be created intentionally.

Tomorrow I’m hosting a private Executive Strategy Session on Executive Transitions.

Registration closes shortly.

If you’ve been meaning to step back and assess your next move, details are on my profile.
