The woman
Danièle Henkel is in action. Always. On the paths she travels, she always looks for the crossroads where she will have the most positive impact. Human transformation is her true passion. She herself is an eternal student, with an extraordinary gift of helping others reach their full potential and regain self-confidence.
This astounding lady radiates and makes all those who stand next to her shine. Possessing a particularly strong emotional intelligence, she sees and understands situations from a different perspective, allowing new possibilities to flourish. Guided by her intuition, she chooses to go where she can bring greater solidarity and inclusiveness.
If she has long sought the acceptance of her peers, today she has gained peace and serenity. Rooted, grateful, she finds refuge in a spirituality that brings her back to basics.
Her family remains her anchor. Her children and grandchildren are the ones for whom all her struggles for a more open and equitable society have meaning and scope. Through them, she wishes for us all to learn to live together in harmony.
« Danièle Henkel is the singularity in universality »

Six years later, she created the Renaissance Glove, the starting point of Danièle Henkel Enterprises.
