In How to Do Less, Even in a Global Pandemic, you’ll learn practical techniques to untangle productivity from your to do list and simplify your days to do less of what saps your soul so you have more for what lights you up.

About Danielle

Danielle Pickens, Founder and CEO of The Working Parent's Guide and Tide Risers NYC Member, 2020.

Danielle Pickens is the Founder and CEO of The Working Parent’s Guide, where she coaches busy working parents to make their mark without becoming a martyr. As a first-time mom more than a decade ago, she struggled with burnout as she juggled managing a team of 50+ and her role as a new parent. Frustrated with the status quo, she knew there had to be a better way. Over time, she developed a new approach to working parenthood: “Do less to do better.” She has since coached more than 150 leaders to succeed without sacrificing what they value most.

Now a mom of three, Danielle’s on a mission to reimagine working parenthood – how we do it and how we view it. She offers her clients guidance and deep expertise in designing flexible and career-enhancing work opportunities, simplifying the tasks of day-to-day life, and learning to say no graciously. In addition to helping working parents navigate a path that works for them, Danielle is the Chief Program Officer for a national education nonprofit, The Urban Schools Human Capital Academy.
