I'm Danielle Hagerty, creator of The Better Habits Blueprint™ and a business process consultant serving the Washington DC metro area.

My background:

  • 2 years dedicated to helping small businesses eliminate costly operational failures

  • Contributing writer for Fairfax County Times (burnout prevention)

  • Featured on Fox 5 DC discussing workplace burnout

  • 20 years in Fortune 500 companies fixing processes for operational efficiency, team health, and compliance

My path here has been anything but traditional. It’s a journey that began with a unique blend of skills that have shown me firsthand how human behavior is often the weakest link.

Why I focus on small businesses in DC/Northern Virginia:

Most business process consultants target Fortune 500 companies with six-figure budgets and year-long engagements. I built The Better Habits Blueprint™ specifically for established small businesses (10-50 employees) that need results fast—without enterprise-level complexity or cost.

I enjoy working with professional services firms, government contractors, healthcare practices, and agencies throughout Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, and Washington, D.C., to identify and improve the processes that are bleeding their budgets and burning out their teams.

My approach:

  1. Show you exactly what broken processes are costing you (most don't realize it's $50K-$150K+)

  2. Redesign them using behavioral science principles (so they work for humans, not against them)

  3. Implement changes quickly (6-8 weeks, not 6-12 months)

If you're a small business owner in the DC area who's tired of working 60-hour weeks despite having a team, let's talk.

When I’m not working with clients, you can usually find me outdoors—fishing, kayaking, or soaking in the calm that nature brings. Those moments remind me why I do this work: because success isn’t just about hitting goals, it’s about creating systems that let people live, work, and lead with presence and freedom.
