About Sharon

Hey, my name is Sharon Danzger, and I'm a Productivity Consultant, Leadership Coach, Author, and Founder of Control Chaos (established in 2006 and an SBA certified Women Owned Small Business). I have a diverse background that enables me to offer a unique perspective on balancing priorities.

During the early part of my career, I worked for a global financial services company, gaining experience in a variety of areas, including commercial real estate, corporate finance underwriting, and corporate social responsibility. In the non-profit sector, I have experience in leadership development, governance, training, and oversight of an $18 million budget.

Not too long ago, I felt stuck in 'neutral' without a sense of fulfillment. Through self-exploration and the study and practice of positive psychology, I was able to make small changes that shifted me to a growth mindset and greater well-being. As a coach and workshop facilitator, I strive to empower my clients to achieve this same feeling of contentment and flourishing.

I hold a BS in Economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, a Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) from the University of Pennsylvania, and an MS in Real Estate from NYU. I am a certified professional coach and hold the PCC (Professional Certified Coach) designation from the ICF, the International Coach Federation.

One of my top strengths is my "love of learning." I am a Fearless Organization certified practitioner, a Trust at Work certified practitioner, and a Designing Your Life coach. I earned the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), and Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designations. I also hold certificates from the Harvard Law School Program on Negotiation in Leadership and Negotiation, as well as Leveraging the Power of Emotions in Negotiation.

I enjoy being a guest lecturer at Columbia University's Executive MBA program and an Assistant Instructor at the University of Pennsylvania. Additionally, I am the author of "Super-Productive: 120 Strategies to Do More and Stress Less."

Finally, my husband and I recently relocated to South Florida from Northern NJ, where we raised our four (now young adult) children. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to learn more about how I can help you achieve your goals.
