Compliance with Courage
Description
In today’s episode, Lisa speaks with Danielle Herrick, VP of Risk, Compliance, and Ethics at Bloom Energy. After being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, Danielle began sharing her journey through her “Compliance with Courage” posts on LinkedIn. And her candor and openness, in turn, are inspiring the Ethics & Compliance community.
Danielle shares how her experience became a turning point – reshaping how she leads, works, and views life in compliance. She talks about finding balance after years as a self-proclaimed workaholic, learning to say no, and discovering strength in vulnerability.
They discuss how compassion belongs in compliance, what it means to truly “show up,” and how clear, human communication can be just as powerful as policies and procedures. Danielle also highlights the incredible support she’s received, including from her manager, Human Resources, and her professional community, and how that support has influenced her mission to “rewrite the rulebook with compassion.”
