The right person at the right moment can change everything. Danielle was fortunate to have teachers and coaches who saw her potential, and now she works with schools to help inspire that same belief in every student.
HOW DANIELLE WORKS WITH SCHOOLS:
Inspiring speechesDanielle takes students through the real story behind what it takes to achieve. Her powerful message shows students that success isn’t about having it all figured out, but believing in yourself, staying open to possibility and finding the courage to keep going when life gets tough.

Reduce Exam Stress
Preparing for exams is like training for the Olympics: years of effort go into one chance to perform at your best. It's normal to feel nervous and Danielle shares techniques that athletes use to keep their cool under pressure and deliver results with confidence when it counts.

Mental WellbeingDanielle's proactive approach to mental wellbeing helps students understand that looking after their mind is a bit like training the body. Through real stories and practical tools, she empowers them to recognise stress, build healthy habits and strengthen their sense of self.

Danielle brings together engaging storytelling with practical strategies that help students build confidence, focus and resilience. Drawing on her experience as a Paralympic champion, she connects with students of all ages through real stories and relatable lessons they can use every day.
Sessions are available in person or virtually and can be tailored for primary or secondary year groups. If you’re looking for a speaker or external guest students genuinely listen to, Danielle is a great fit for awards ceremonies, wellbeing or leadership days, revision preparation sessions and to complement your sport or PSHE curriculum.
What others have to say...
A fabulous assembly. Informative, practical and most of all, inspiring. It was a pleasure to see the look on the students' faces as they listened closely to your story. Your advice and guidance on how to control stress and nerves was helpful and very relevant to support students in their journey to becoming successful at school and beyond. Highly recommended. |
Danielle spoke to our managers about leading under pressure and ensuring that we have ways to deal with stressful situations. It's important for us to be able to deal with difficult situations and ensure we take out staff with us in a calm and steady way and we are now better equipped to do this. Wrapped around the learning was a very inspiring story with a powerful message. We will definitely be asking Danielle to return to talk to our students so they can learn the invaluable ways of giving your all no matter what. |
Danielle's amazing sports career was a true inspiration to both staff and students, and provided a real insight into what it takes to reach the top! One student said: 'The speech given by Danielle today has given me the motivation to work 10x harder to achieve my dream.' She is a real role model for our students to look up to, and her approach to helping students perform better in exams made a huge impact on the whole school community. |
I've been inspired by many speakers in my life, but I've never been as inspired as I have just now.
