About
Dannielle Haig
Business psychologist, executive coach, and the founder of Brilliance Through Resilience.

Dannielle Haig is a business psychologist and one of London's leading executive and performance coaches. She is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the British Psychological Society (MBPsS), with expertise spanning business psychology, psychotherapy and leadership development.
Over more than a decade of practice, Dannielle has coached senior leaders across global banks, Big Four firms, FTSE 100 companies and Premier League sport, helping them perform under sustained pressure without running themselves into the ground. Her work sits at the meeting point of rigorous psychology and practical leadership: not motivational, but evidence-based and specific.
She founded Brilliance Through Resilience™ to answer a question that conventional coaching could not: what does an individual leader's biology actually need in order to perform and recover? The programme combines DNA analysis, a validated psychometric and one-to-one coaching to build a resilience strategy grounded in how each person is genuinely wired, rather than in generic advice.
Dannielle's approach is defined by a distinction at the heart of her work: the difference between endurance and resilience. Endurance is spending; resilience is an income. Many high-performing leaders, she argues, are quietly enduring rather than genuinely resilient, and the difference determines whether they last.
