Danielle Bateman, executive coach and former advertising leader

About Danielle

My background is as a senior executive leader within one of the world’s largest advertising organisations, where I spent over twenty years leading in fast paced, high performance environments.

That experience gave me first hand insight into the complexity of leadership, the pressure of senior roles, and the particular challenges many women navigate across leadership, career, business, and life.

Today, I bring that experience together with my work as an executive and leadership coach, combining deep coaching expertise with strategic, commercial, and real world leadership perspective.

My approach is warm, empathetic, and deeply supportive, while also being strategic, direct, and challenging where needed. I care deeply about the women I work with and the work we do together. My role is not only to support, but to help clients think bigger, see more clearly, and move forward with greater confidence, self trust, and impact.

How I Work

My coaching is grounded, strategic and tailored to you. I create a confidential space where you can step back, think clearly and work through the leadership, career or business questions that matter most, with a trusted partner who can help you challenge your thinking, see what is getting in the way and decide how to move forward.

Our work together is shaped around your context, your goals and the support that will make the biggest difference. We may focus on live leadership situations, confidence and self trust, stakeholder dynamics, visibility, career direction, business growth or the decisions shaping your next stage.

I work with senior leaders, executives and founders who want depth, honesty and practical progress. Where useful, I also bring an advisory lens, drawing on more than twenty years in senior leadership within a global organisation. This means the work is not just reflective. It is connected to the real rooms, relationships, pressures and decisions you are navigating.

The value is in the combination: deeper insight, sharper thinking, stronger decisions and practical action that supports your leadership, career or business in a meaningful way.

What clients say

“Working with Danielle over the past six months has been nothing short of transformational. As a business owner entering a new phase of growth and development, I was overwhelmed, stretched in multiple directions, and stepping into deep, unfamiliar waters. Together, we explored so many different aspects of the business, from recruitment and team dynamics to marketing strategy, tech development, and securing new premises. Danielle met me exactly where I was each time and helped me develop clarity, resilience and confidence while strengthening my leadership. Her coaching has been invaluable, and I genuinely do not think I would be where I am today without her.” - Melissa, Founder at Livve
