The 212 PHILOSOPHY
Many years ago I was introduced to the 212 philosophy where water is stable, unchanging, and predictable at 211 degrees, but once that one extra degree is succeeded, change begins and great things happen. Every time I lace up my skates, open a textbook, meet with an employee, or discuss a situation with a client, I strive to achieve that one extra degree that makes all the difference between good and great!
At Two Twelve Consulting we provide 212 level focus and achieve 212 level success for you and your company each and every time!

Danielle Hessler – CEO / Principal Consultant, CPHR
Two Twelve Consulting and The Agency Founder and Senior Human Resources Consultant Danielle Hessler is action-driven, results-oriented and energized by solving problems. Danielle deeply cares about growing her business, supporting others and serving her community, drawing from over 15 years of HR experience to generously share her knowledge and expertise, empowering her clients, employees and others along the way.
Danielle started her career as a Human Resources Consultant for Peace Country Health, which amalgamated with Alberta Health Services, and then went on to become the Director of Human Resources for Grande Prairie Regional College. Although Danielle is well-versed in all key areas of Human Resources, she specializes in employee and labour relations, performance management and recruitment.

In 2018, Danielle saw a significant market gap for small to medium sized businesses when it came to having access to appropriate Human Resources services so she founded Two Twelve Consulting. Over time it became obvious that Two Twelve Consulting’s clients needed a 24/7 approach to their recruitment needs given the current labour market shortage.
To serve their clients better, Danielle and her team launched a specialized division called The Agency – A Two Twelve Company, supporting new and existing clients with all of their recruitment needs and working hand-in-hand with them to find qualified, lasting talent. The Agency and Two Twelve Consulting were built on their combined knowledge, expertise and passion for helping businesses hire people ideally suited to their company values, ultimately saving them time and money and serving our community. Since then, both companies have grown to assist businesses and organizations across a wide variety of industries, including oil & gas, law and accounting firms, medical clinics, municipalities, colleges and nonprofits within Grande Prairie, the Peace Country and across Alberta.
Danielle takes the time to understand each client, asking questions about their culture, employees and current challenges, creating a customized, specific plan that meets their needs. Danielle and her team hold themselves to the highest standard of service, approaching their work with integrity, confidentiality, quality support and collaboration and serving their clients as a trusted advisor and partner.
To stay informed on new and emerging industry trends and be a part of learning and development within our region, Danielle is also a part-time Human Resources and Management Sessional Instructor at Northwestern Polytechnic.
Danielle wholeheartedly believes in giving back to her community, sitting on different boards including The Alberta Motors Association (AMA), Grande Prairie & District Chamber of Commerce, and Grande Prairie Junior A Storm Hockey.
When she’s not working, Danielle is an avid reader who stays busy with her husband and kids coaching her son (and others) at hockey, watching her daughter compete in gymnastics, and keeping up with her very active toddler.
Jocelyn Claggett – Consultant
Born and raised in the Peace Country, Jocelyn has more than twelve years of experience in Human Resources in both the Public and Private Sectors. Jocelyn started her career specializing in Recruitment at Alberta Health Services (AHS) and quickly diversified her portfolio throughout her seven years at AHS as she branched into Labour Relations. It was at AHS that Jocelyn and Danielle met and first worked together. She moved into the private sector where she gained invaluable experience working as the Human Resources Manager at Canadian Lumber Products LTD (Canfor) for the Grande Prairie division. After three years at Canfor, Jocelyn relocated after marrying her husband Ryan and she found herself in the Human Resources department at the Municipal District of Greenview No. 16 (Greenview) as a part of their Human Resources department.

After starting a family, Jocelyn decided to spend a few years at home to enjoy time with her daughters, Aubry and Brielle, and focus on their growing cattle ranch. In 2022 Jocelyn met with Danielle and it was during that fateful coffee date that she decided she was ready for a new challenge and partnered with Two Twelve Consulting to offer her expertise and provide Human Resources services to local businesses.
Dalene Pilat – Operations Manager
Having been raised in the Peace Country and grown multiple small businesses with her husband since 2007, Dalene understands and relates to the entrepreneurial spirit. Her passion behind growing businesses is the building of culture and positive foundations for her team to thrive. She tends to get excited about the tasks that most people avoid on Mondays and push to the following week on Fridays, and instead is willing to dive in and find magic in the monotony.
Outside of work Dalene is actively involved in assisting with her two daughters’ sports teams and their busy schedules. She describes herself as fortunate to have a husband she considers a mentor and daughters that make her proud each and every day.
Courtney Bartman – Recruiter

Since joining Two Twelve Consulting Courtney has gained her Registered Professional Recruiter (RPR) designation and is leading our recruitment division, The Agency – A Two Twelve Company.
With over 12 years of experience in the dental industry and an education in Global Tourism and Marketing, Courtney has a passion for meeting new people and making them smile.
