This Could be You...
Jen Allen
All the stars aligned! I was in the depths of a job search, new(ish) to Denver with a limited network, and knew I needed some additional support. A mutual connection commented on one of Darren's posts on LinkedIn, so I set up an introductory call; within minutes, I knew he was the right career coach for me. He was direct and pointed in his questions, insightful in his observations, and supportive when I needed to be reminded of my talent and skillset. His values assessment was a great exercise to not only define what I was looking for from an organization, but also to keep me on a steady path without getting swayed by the first opportunity that came along.
Carri Pryor
Darren is an incredible coach, leader and mentor. I have had the privilege of working with him throughout the past year as my leadership coach and then he was our moderator through the Positive Intelligence program. As my leadership coach, he was always curious and inquisitive and helped me dig to the root of the challenges I was facing as a leader. And although he is helpful in making suggestions when I was coming up blank, he was very encouraging to help me develop my own thoughts and solutions. I would also HIGHLY recommend working with him through the Positive Intelligence program.
Chrissy Scivicque
I participated in an intensive Positive Intelligence coaching program with Darren and the experience was incredibly rewarding. Darren’s coaching style is authentic and down-to-earth. He helped our group understand the concepts and apply them to our lives and work immediately. He never made us feel judged when we were struggling, and he authentic shared his own experiences. I would not hesitate to recommend Darren (and I have to many, many people already).
I believe his work will become a critical tool for forward-thinking corporations who want to support employee wellness—especially in our modern, turbulent times.
