Dannyell understands the importance of highlighting achievements
Some of the best advice that Dannyell has ever received was from a friend who said: "It is not who you know, but who knows what you do."
Dannyell feels this wisdom has been instrumental in helping her escalate her career advancement within Honeywell.
"Each promotion I have received, I have been tapped for advancement. I am most proud of the recognition I received for being one of the top three salespersons, and the only woman, to achieve top honors for our customer adoption of a break-through initiative. I was the first to secure a customer pilot, and ultimately customer sale, of our software platform geared toward small and medium businesses. Ultimately, I was charged by our business unit leadership to serve as a role model for selling the offering," reflects Dannyell.
Grateful for ongoing support from Honeywell managers
During her time with Honeywell, Dannyell says she has been uniquely blessed by her managers who have challenged, supported and developed her in different ways. "My managers have poured into me personally by taking a direct interest in my career development," says Dannyell. "They have challenged me to push myself out of my comfort zone and to pursue opportunities. They've also supported my engagement with our corporate initiatives in support of minority recruitment and university relations. This level of support has enabled me to feel seen, not only as a woman, but as a woman of color. When I came to Honeywell I was in search of a company where I could not only continue but end my career. Honeywell has provided a foundation upon which I can truly build and grow, both personally and professionally, extending opportunities for expanded leadership roles within my current position and beyond."
