Claudia, Social Worker, San Francisco

Working with Darryn on my goals helped me immensely because it helped me stay focused and positive. Darryn created a safe environment for me to process and come up with my own solutions to the challenges I was looking to overcome. I enjoyed that Darryn would ask me thoughtful and insightful questions to help me unpack my thoughts and feelings. One the most impactful teachings I gained from coaching with Darryn was being able to think SMART. I am comforted by knowing that whenever I need to achieve a goal and need some support I can count on Darryn’s expertise.

Darryn is a skilled teacher and leader who brings warmth, conviction and care to all of his training and work environments. I have been inspired by Darryn for more than a decade, having met him as a young man who was already powerful, gentle, and kind – Darryn has grown into a finessed trainer who is smart, thought provoking and influential.

As a trainer he brings his A game, always prepared, always on time, always asking the right questions to help develop the best training for the specific learning needs. Darryn’s natural ability to connect lead his skills and talents in the training room. I especially recommend Darryn for trainings covering the topics of youth leadership, LGBTQ communities and foster youth and youth in out of home placements.

“Darryn brings incredible warmth to any working environment and is a true pleasure to have in one’s company. He understands how to effectively engage people, whether in a convivial environment or in a difficult one. In addition to being thoughtful, he is organized, can identify, anticipate, and meet challenges as they arise, and asks for guidance when needed while otherwise he works well autonomously”
