THE WOMAN BEHIND THE MOVEMENT
Danielle Bayard Jackson
Female Friendship Coach and Educator
There's nothing like the beauty of female friendship.
​
As a former high school teacher, Danielle saw how issues of connection and belonging were impacting the lives of her 18-year-old female students. When she left the classroom to become a publicist, she was surprised to learn that her high-achieving adult clients were struggling in their relationships with other women as well. Both students and businesswomen were seeking her advice for their struggles after hours, and that's how Friend Forward was born.
Danielle leverages her background in education to study what the research has to say about women's cooperation, communication, and conflict.
​
She's now a well-known friendship coach and educator whose signature style of pairing research with real-life helps women experience more joy in their platonic relationships with one another.
Danielle is also the author of the new book Fighting for our Friendships: The Science and Art of Conflict and Connection in Women's Relationships.
​
What began as a personal obsession has become a media-worthy business. Danielle has become a go-to source for the media, as a guest on outlets like The New York Times, CBS NEWS, NBC News, the Mel Robbins Show, and more.
With a goal of helping women across the world deepen their platonic female relationships, she's just getting started.
