“Darleen is ridiculously talented in reference to motivating people and guiding them in their personal and business direction. This trait is not something that many people possess. Its’ a rarity that someone can actually help another person find happiness, but she does this with ease. Her positivity is contagious. People want to be in her presence. Darleen is one of the most motivated, career-minded, intelligent, and strong women I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I truly mean all of this!”
Aimee Bloch, Hedge Fund Manager

“Darleen has a remarkable ability to connect with and guide you to your core values. Each of us is different, yet we each have the ability to find great joy in our lives with the right focus and direction. As an experienced executive and recent cancer survivor trying to reconnect with life and redefine my priorities, I have found Darleen to be invaluable in helping me regain that vision. I would strongly recommend and encourage her to anyone who desires to find greater meaning, purpose, and direction in life. She is a treasure! Please feel free to contact me with any questions.”
Joe Crace JD, MBA Senior Vice President Compass Executives, LLC

“Finding someone who can reach into another’s heart and mind and truly influence and change you is difficult because that really can’t be taught. The true effective influencer and teacher is made and also born. Darleen is a purely powerful influence in her clients’ lives. She is an intuitive, compassionate, brilliant reader of the human condition, emotion, and motivation. She radiates energy and confidence, and the client can’t help but feel the impact. She is driven by the earnest desire to succeed by having the client succeed. She measures her success by the gratitude of her clients, not by the amount of money received. I have had her come up to work with my law students, because of the confidence I have in her abilities and because I know my students will be better trial lawyers because of their contact with Darleen. She is an honest, earnest, able broker in an untrustworthy, frequently incompetent world. I give her my highest recommendation.”
