Darren Smith
Current Parent
Have you ever lost a business opportunity and thought to yourself – if they only knew WHO I was, they would have chosen me…
Darren Smith works with clients to capture WHO they are and most importantly, capitalize on it.
Darren is an expert in strategy implementation and collaboration.
In other words, he works with clients to capture on paper what makes them excellent, and then leverage WHO they are in the implementation of their strategy, culture and business development.
Here are a few results of capitalizing on WHO you are:
– Crystallizing your business niche so you can own it.
– Attracting team members who are a tighter fit with WHO you are and can take you where you want to go.
– Re-energizing business development growth by answering ‘WHY you?’ with 'WHO you' are.
Darren has completed over 100 of these types of projects, working successfully with CEOs who are between 40 and 50 years old, at least in mindset. He is your booster rocket to make implementation happen, sustain the momentum and keep everyone accountable.

The Subconscious Way
Andrew Kippen ’99
Alumnus
I'm a mindset and business coach. Startups relied on my talents as a strategist and marketer for 10 years. My companies won lots of awards and it was a fun and exciting life until I burnt out. Now I do coaching work with individuals and couples. I believe that everything we are, and everything we are not yet are both in our subconscious; it's just about creating access to them. My clients breakthrough limitations, move through life transitions (new jobs & relationships), and create massive shifts in their business and personal lives. Best, Andrew
