The Game That Shaped Me Basketball wasn’t just my passion—it was my identity. It took me from Estonia to Auburn University in the U.S., then into a professional career across Europe. For ten years, I proudly wore the Estonian national team jersey. I trained relentlessly and played through pain but no one ever taught me how to train my mindset.   The Transition That Transformed Me Like many athletes, I believed pushing harder was the answer. But the harder I pushed, the more fear and self-doubt pushed back. When my career ended, I faced a question I wasn’t ready for: Who am I without basketball? That moment sparked a deeper journey into how the mind works and I discovered it can be trained like a muscle. That insight changed everything. I broke through my own limits and uncovered the confidence to grow into who I really am. I wasn’t just a former athlete. I was a leader, a learner, and an entrepreneur in the making.   The Mission I Lead Today Today, I’m an Athlete Transition Coach, keynote speaker, and founder of the Mindset Fitness™ methodology. I hold an MBA from TalTech, where I researched self-handicapping in high performers, and I’m a Certified Neuroencoding Specialist trained by Joseph McClendon III. I’m currently developing The Inner Game™ coaching experience and leading the Athletepreneurs™ movement—supporting athletes who want to win in life and business, not just in sport. I also serve as the first female president of BNI North Star Tallinn, Estonia’s chapter of the world’s largest business networking organization. A brief encounter with Kobe Bryant left a lasting impact, and his Mamba Mentality remains a core influence in my work. I help pro athletes train the part of themselves no one ever coached, so they can become confident in who they really are on and beyond the game.

Leading the Future of Property Management Welcome! I’m Danielle, a passionate property management leader dedicated to innovation, efficiency, and driving success in our industry. Since 2011, I’ve been immersed in property management, and since 2014, I’ve proudly been part of Ray White Maroochydore. My journey into real estate wasn’t conventional I first built a career in hairdressing, owning my own salon before transitioning into property investment. Through investing, I discovered my true passion: streamlining property management operations to create smarter, more sustainable businesses. A Vision for Smarter, More Efficient Property Management As the Head of Property Management at Ray White Maroochydore, I lead a high-performing team while managing my own portfolio of executive clients. My leadership philosophy is simple but effective work smarter, not harder. Property management is often seen as a high-stress industry, but I believe that by embracing change, optimizing processes, and leveraging technology, we can build systems that support both our teams and our clients. I’m always looking for the next big improvement whether it’s refining workflows, adopting new technology, or coaching property managers to operate with greater confidence and clarity. A well-run property management business isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about creating an environment where both investors and tenants feel valued, informed, and supported. Recognized for Leadership and Excellence In 2022, I was honored to be named both Queensland and International Property Manager of the Year for the Ray White group. This recognition wasn’t just about the numbers it reflected my commitment to leadership, innovation, and delivering exceptional service in an ever-evolving market. Leading one of the largest property management teams on the Sunshine Coast, I take pride in creating a workplace where people feel empowered, supported, and encouraged to grow. Coaching, Growth, and Industry Impact Beyond my role at Ray White Maroochydore, I am passionate about coaching property managers and business leaders to implement systems that reduce stress and increase profitability. The industry is constantly evolving, and those who embrace change will always be ahead of the curve. My goal is to help others navigate these changes with confidence, whether that’s through refining leasing processes, optimizing vacate procedures, or creating a team culture that thrives under pressure. I firmly believe that property management should be proactive, not reactive. By setting clear expectations, improving communication, and using the right tools, we can prevent problems before they arise. A structured, well-executed process benefits everyone—owners, tenants, and property managers alike. Beyond Property Management While I’m deeply passionate about my work, I also know the importance of balance. When I’m not leading my team or working with investors, you’ll find me enjoying the Sunshine Coast lifestyle brunching with my husband, taking scenic drives, surfing at Noosa, hitting jumps at the wake park, or heading off on our next snowboarding adventure. Board sports are one of my favorite ways to recharge, and I love being on the water! Let’s Elevate Property Management Together I’m always open to conversations about how we can push the industry forward whether it’s through coaching, process innovation, or simply sharing new ideas. Property management is an industry that thrives on adaptability, and I’m here to help others embrace that mindset. If you’re a property manager looking to refine your processes, an investor seeking expert guidance, or a leader wanting to build a stronger team, let’s connect. Together, we can create a smarter, more effective future for property management.
