“This workshop has made a positive impact with over 250 employees in our organization. The course is consistently among the top-rated programs we offer, and it successfully influences leaders to consider new ways of constructing written communications.”
Laura S., Training and Development Manager
“Daryl has worked with me and our teams as a coach and advisor and has had a tremendous impact on our strategic planning, team development, and overall organizational culture. I am most impressed with his ability to move fluidly between acting as an individual coach helping someone with career goals and acting as a strategic advisor helping set product vision. Coaching and facilitation is not as common in our industry as it is in others, and Daryl has won over skeptics in our org and has helped guide several of our senior leaders as they work within our $1B+ business.”
Matt Booty, Head of Xbox Game Studios at Microsoft
