Values-Driven Leadership Coaching for Mid-Career Leaders
Leadership coaching and development programs
Break out of the mid-career crisis
You’ve reached a career plateau. Or maybe the work just isn’t satisfying anymore. Getting motivated feels tough, your self-confidence is low, and the Sunday blues are all too real. Plus you’re tired – really tired.
And it’s no wonder! Mid-career leaders have relentless, conflicting demands and priorities, and are often expected to “lead” without proper training or support.
Mid-Career Leaders are overlooked when it comes to talent management

Only 5% of mid-level managers report high job satisfaction!
7 Years is the average amount of time a leader is “stuck” in a middle management role
You need a coach in your corner
It’s time to make deliberate and conscious choices about your career, to make an impact, and drive your career to new levels. It’s time to feel appreciated and respected doing work that you love.
Mid-career leaders do 80% of the work and get only 20% of the development money and benefits. And that sucks.
But I’m going to give you permission.
Permission to want more, do more and be more. Permission to feel confident, get unstuck, and find fulfilling work that allows you to be effective, productive, and motivated.
Permission to achieve your greatness,
just like these clients:

Here’s What they’re Saying…
I was unhappy in my current role/organization, but felt really stuck in making a move. Darren was able to read between the lines with ease and probe me to dig further. I would highly recommend Darren – he is transparent, authentic and will push you to think differently and get honest with yourself in order to move forward in your goals.
Tea Merdanovic
Darren helped with one of the hardest issues we all face: Knowledge work. Looking at an large problem and breaking it down in to digestible pieces. All while having a great attitude and genuine curiosity. His support, advice and guidance was paramount to my success. Thank you Darren!
Cindy Leung
After going back and forth with myself I finally decided to reach out to Darren and thanks to him after interviewing for the same position on multiple occasions in the past I finally got that much deserved promotion. I’m absolutely convinced that I was able to break through and secure the promotion largely based on the “golden nuggets” that Darren shared with me.

How often do we meet?
How do we meet?
What will we work on?
When we first start working together we’ll discuss and determine the overarching goals you want to work on. From there, in each meeting we’ll discuss what’s important to you at that moment and how it applies to those goals. Some people’s goals are fluid and require flexibility. Others are more concrete with a consistent eye on the end goal. Either way, we’ll aim to meet or exceed your expectations and check in regularly to ensure we’re on the right path.
How long do the meetings last?
Who sets the agenda for the meetings?
What outcomes can I expect if we partner together?
The outcomes are highly individual and depend on your values and overarching goals, but most of my clients report that they gain enhanced performance, a fresh perspective, empowerment and confidence, and increased job and life satisfaction.
