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

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.

Forest Grove Church

I helped people find and follow Jesus Christ in Collin County, Texas, by equipping Christians for their ministries of service to others, and by topical-expository teaching through the 66 books of the Bible. 

My personal goal was to Inspire, Encourage, Coach, Heal and Organize (IECHO) people around two important Basics:

1. Increase Biblical literacy (2 Timothy 3:14-17)
– in a Paragraph-by-paragraph, topical Expository format
– From a Messianic Jewish and Dispensational perspective
– Through the lens of a Historical-Grammatical method of interpretation 

2. Help each person take their next step toward:
– Knowing Christ (Philippians 3:10)
– Imitating Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1) 
– and Doing His Work (Matthew 28:18-20)

This church has faithfully served the community since 1847.

During this time, I maintained strong relationships with the North American Mission Board (NAMB) as endorsing agency and the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) for denominational connection.

Church Leaders Campfire

Church leaders today face five common challenges:

1. Vision Clarity - Vision gets murky when we're struggling. 
- Where are you, your family, or your ministry headed?

2. Funding - If the church stopped paying you, could you continue to serve AND meet your family's needs?

3. Productivity - Without proper systems in place, we wander aimlessly.
- How effective are you at "being about our Father's business?"

4. Relationships - Sadly, many church leaders find themselves alone and longing for true friendship, even in their own homes. 
- How isolated or connected are you? 
- Who's your 3AM friend?

5. Health Preservation - Physical and Emotional fitness are key components to fulfilling God's purposes. 
- Are you fit and ready for the emotional challenges of ministry? 
- Are you sweating profusely in the pulpit?
