Testimonials (8)

  • Darrell, You are eloquent in delivery and compelling in content. This was an exceptional keynote address and I'm glad that our paths have crossed and perhaps I have helped in a small way because you have been an inspiration to me through the years.
    Larry Huffman
  • Great speech and an amazing journey. It's great to see someone from a similar background as myself and others make the impossible look obtainable. I can see the value in working hard and showing others that there is always a way to live your best life, even when you can't see the possibilities. Hopefully one day I can be as great of an inspiration as you.

You do realize, your advice and mentoring enabled me to gain the Customer Service/Operations Management position and eventually launch my career into the Intelligence community. Meanwhile, please know you have paid it forward with me. And, by extension, you have certainly made a difference exponentially beyond anything you may imagine. You are an inspiration.

  • Darrell, Thank you so much for the Workplace Appreciation workshop.  You helped our team to have crucial conversations, and we understand each other better.  I (and the team) will be able to show appreciation in ways that are much more meaningful.  I will definitely share with others within our organization how successful our workshop was and highly recommend you.  If you don’t mind, can you please provide information on the other trainings/programs your company provides. Again, thanks so much for your contribution to our team meeting and the health of our team!!!
