Leadership Coaching

“Darin brought an impressive mix of preparedness and adaptation to each coaching session that allowed me to make maximum progress. His ability to build comfort and rapport with introverted leaders allowed us to quickly work toward uncovering insights together. He consistently found creative ways for me to follow through and apply the insights beyond the coaching session, so I always felt connected to the work between sessions. I had never worked with a coach one-on-one and the experience exceeded my expectations!”

One-on-one Coaching

Introverted professionals often internalize the challenges in our lives. Left unchecked, this can lead to unhealthy patterns such as rumination, stagnation, and procrastination.

Do any of these statements resonate with you?

  • “I sometimes doubt my abilities as a people leader or individual contributor”

  • “I often struggle to speak up and sell my ideas in a group setting”

  • “I know I need to strengthen my network, but a networking event is the LAST place I want to be”

  • “My job requires a high degree of social interaction which leaves me feeling drained on a regular basis”

  • “I want to advance in my industry, but I’m concerned I’m just too introverted”

If so, partnering with an experienced coach who understands the unique challenges of being an introverted professional can be a game-changer.

What makes Coaching so Powerful for Introverted Professionals?

  1. Depth: Coaching provides a forum to go deep on the topics that matter most to you. Our lives are filled with distractions that often prevent us from giving the important topics the time they deserve. Introverts benefit from the time and space to focus on what’s most important.

  2. Resources: Introverts often minimize, or fail to notice entirely, the abundant resources and advantages that come from being an introvert. Together, we’ll creatively explore solutions and untapped resources.

  3. Accountability: An insight without action is just a daydream. As your coach, I’ll support you on your journey, while holding you accountable to commitments and milestones.
