About Sharon
Hi - I’m Sharon Danzger, a Productivity Consultant, Leadership Coach, Author, and Founder of Control Chaos (established in 2006 and an SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business).
My background spans financial services and the nonprofit sector, including experience in commercial real estate, corporate finance underwriting, leadership development, governance, training, and oversight of an $18 million budget.
For years, I felt stuck in 'neutral' without a sense of fulfillment. Through self-exploration and the study and practice of positive psychology, I made small changes that led to a growth mindset and greater well-being. Today, I help clients achieve that same sense of clarity 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 Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coach Federation.
I am also a Fearless Organization certified practitioner, Trust at Work certified practitioner, and Designing Your Life coach, and I have earned the CFA, ChFC, and CLU designations, along with a certificate from the Harvard Law School Program on Negotiation.
I am currently an Assistant Instructor at the University of Pennsylvania and previously served as a guest lecturer at Columbia University’s Executive MBA program. I am also the author of "Super-Productive: 120 Strategies to Do More and Stress Less."
Outside of work, I’m an avid swimmer, love to read, and have developed a passion for snorkeling, sea turtles, and underwater photography. My husband and I now live in South Florida after raising our four children in Northern New Jersey.
