Listen to the Attract & Stand Out Podcast and Hear Stories of Amazing People Doing Work They Love

Hey there, I'm Darlene!

(she/her/hers)

I'm a speaker, podcast host, business coach, and communication expert who shows ambitious, heart-centered entrepreneurs and rising business leaders how to speak up, stand out, and make more impact.

 

My genius is twofold. I show entrepreneurs 2+ years into their business how to deepen their business foundation and go after visibility so they can share their message with the world, attract dream clients, and have the impact, freedom, and flexibility they desire.

 

Plus, I support organizational leaders and their teams to strengthen their inner and outer voice so that they can speak up for themselves and the ideas and issues that matter most and move people to take action whenever they speak.

Learn how I went from managing in big box retail working 60+ hours per week as a single mom to creating my own business and creating the life that I always dreamed of.

The quickest way to get to know me, is to know my top 5 values...

  • Integrity

    I believe we must be honest first with ourselves and then with others. If it's out of alignment for where I'm going, I will not do it. This is my moral compass and what I live by.

  • Community

    I believe that community is everything and that transformation will happen and goals will be achieved when two or more are gathered together.

  • Autonomy

    I believe we have the responsibility to create freedom for ourselves and others by showing up and giving extra support and value in everything we do.

  • Inclusion

    I believe we must all come together for the greater good of the world. We must show each other respect, create opportunities, and invite from all walks of life to join us at the table.. We are all in this together.

  • Growth

    I believe that we must continue to grow as individuals and people to make a difference. As a lifetime learner, I am continuously committed to growth and never staying the same.

What I Stand For!


I acknowledge that oppression isn't just an opinion or a feeling and is a systemic reality and lived experience for so many. I will always prioritze the safety of BBIPOC, LGBTQ+, and people with marginalized identities or disabilities.  I take a stand for diversity, equity, and inclusion and am committed to continueously learning, investing and taking action internally and externally.  It is extremely important to me that all of my team and clients know and experience that ALL of them are welcome, respected and honored. 


“As a business owner, Darlene has helped me to refocus my efforts so that I work efficiently and accomplish far more than ever before. I have seen drastic improvements in the profitability and efficiency of my business and have begun to hire additional staff to continue to grow the business. I have been able to create new marketing strategies, implement systems for training staff and streamlining office processes, and center my attention on the parts of the business that I enjoy most, rather than being bogged down with administrative tasks. From a personal standpoint, Darlene has helped me define my life goals, while coping with some very difficult personal issues I have encountered in the last year, including the sudden death of my father. Quite honestly, I do not know how I would have made it through this time without her.”


Jamel and Wendy Taylor- Taylormade Landscape

“Darlene was heaven sent for my company and more importantly my family. I was having trouble managing my time and was becoming overly stressed. After Darlene implemented time management calendars and other strategies, I became excited and reenergized with this new found knowledge. She has easy to use tools and I have to say that they will make an immediate impact on anyone she works with. I have continued using her ideas and my relationship with my family and my business has benefited greatly. Darlene, you are the best and I don’t know where I would be without you. Thank you”
