Turn Down The Heat -- Turn Up The Connection!

More than ever, we need    courageous, inspirational   leadership.  We need honest conversations.  And we need to connect to one another, especially to people who look and think differently.  

Helping organizations develop strong leaders and amazing cultures has been Darren's driving passion throughout his career. Using his broad business background and experience with  culture, leadership,   generations, diversity, and inclusion, Darren helps organizations build healthy and engaging workplaces where employees are valued.

​Darren's ultimate goal?    

Building amazing cultures that
​people love to call home!

Through keynote  and breakout presentations, training, and hosting Town Halls and other employee events, Darren enables effective leadership needed for today’s complicated, polarized, and always-changing business environment.

Darren also helps  employees engage  in deep, meaningful, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations.  Conversations we desperately need in today's heated and often uncivil  society.

The result of deliberate,  thoughtful leadership and  an environment where employees  feel safe and respected while connecting through meaningful dialogue?  A Value-Others culture that  increases employee engagement and connection while also increasing  business productivity and success.

What motivates Darren to  build these engaging cultures?  A desire to see people enjoy their work and their coworkers.   Let's face it, we spend over half of our awake adult life at work  so in addition to doing our jobs well, we need to enjoy them​ -- and the people we  work with. 

Building a Value-Others culture is not easy.  It takes exhaustive, fanatical, ongoing, deliberate, and focus-on-the-small-things effort.
​​
Is your organization willing to put in that effort?  Are you?    If your answer is yes, the payoff is enormous!

Darren stands ready to help.  He's on a mission to build insanely  great places to work.
