Client Success Stories
H.I.
I came to Darnell when I was contemplating a full career shift and had no idea what I was doing regarding finding what was next for me. He met me with a great mix of pragmatism and empathy to help guide me through this time. He was able to identify a focus for each of our sessions and he provided thought-provoking questions throughout our sessions that let me know he was really hearing me and my needs. He also provided insights from his own life that made me feel less alone and scared about making such a big change in my life. Darnell also had phenomenal follow-through with providing resources to me as needed. I wouldn't hesitate even a second to recommend Darnell as a career coach!
