    Where You Might Be At Work or Home


    • Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, 'stressed'out, exhausted


    • You know the technical parts of your job but it's the 'people'' part that you find challenging


    • Little to no formal training


    • Guided by what NOT to do rather than what 'right'looks like


    • You genuinely want to figure out the 'people'part better

    What Might Be Blocking You to Solve Some Of Your Challenges


    • A To Do list that grows faster than it shrinks


    • Not sure where to even start


    • Trying to manage multiple spinning plates!


    • Lack of quality coaching & mentorship


    • No proven or consistent methodology or approach


    The 'Bridge'To Get You To Where You Want To Be


    Daryl & the Transformational Leadership Method


    With Daryl's unique experience on the front lines of emergencies & disasters you see on the news the solutions are the result of A LOT of trial & error.


    Fortunately for you the 30+ years in crisis leadership has been distilled into fundamental lessons that require minimal viable effort (the biggest bang for the buck)

    The Transformational Leader. you ARE:


    Respected


    Making more money


    Empathetic


    Trusted


    A great communicator


    An EXPERT at conflict win-win resolution


    Confident


    Calm


    Decisive

    You may not know this but leadership is ultimately about social influence (NOT manipulation like bad bosses think). 


    • Daryl has spent over 30 years in leadership, particularly in crisis leadership & project management. 


    • During emergencies & large-scale disasters (Hurricanes Katrina & Rita, Canada's two largest natural disasters) Daryl must build respect, gain trust & build teams very rapidly & in conditions that are highly emotionally-charged & with the world watching.


    • Daryl takes his 30 years of experience in emergency response & crisis leadership responding to large scale emergencies and helps you apply those lessons to your personal & professional life.


    • Leadership in emergencies requires that stress management, respect influence, effective communication, conflict resolution and teamwork must be achieved very quickly.


    • Leading in the corporate environment requires the same and Daryl brings those lessons to others.

    Everyone is looking for a way to improve thier lives & careers without adding more to their plate. You're here so obviously you're looking too, right?


    • Daryl's exclusive & proven Transformational Leadership Program that is based on his Method.

      

    • This is his life's work and encompasses the Methodology where you must first learn about the mindset of the leader, then how positively influence and execute.  Each component is included in this online coaching program. 

     

    • It is also available for teams and large organizations in a customized delivery method.


    The second program is his Leadership Essentials course.  It is intended to give very specific and practical tactics for the manager looking to uplevel certain aspects of their management.
