Client Success Stories

KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT

— Jennifer | New York, NY | Retail Management

FEEL SUPPORTED AND CHALLENGED

“Some of my biggest breakthroughs were improving the relationship I had with myself, being more intentional and aware of the work I choose to do, and finding more reasons to celebrate. I will always remember this coaching journey as one of those things I really needed but didn't know just how much. He was my BS-caller, biggest cheerleader, and fluff-cutter, all in one... hire him!"

— Naomi | South Korea | Education

CAREER AND LIFE CHANGING

“Working with Derrick is one of the best decisions I made for my business and my life. With his help, I was able to peel away some of that self-inflicted noise and doubt that was unconsciously holding me back from obtaining my goals and being happy with myself. If you are looking to make that next push toward greater things in your business, career or even yourself, look no further!”

— Sean | Bronx, NY | Healthcare Entrepreneur

— Sophie | San Francisco, CA | Nonprofit Mastermind

CREATE INTERNAL ALIGNMENT

“Some of my biggest breakthroughs include a much clearer, more defined purpose for my life and career, which are intertwined. I was able to take on a new opportunity that will assist a future career transition/new business development and create goals that have positively impacted my personal and work relationships.”

— Aaron | Jersey City, NJ | Project Management

REMOVE UNNECESSARY PRESSURE

"The experience of working with Derrick helped me to drill down and find out what was most valuable to me and decide what I really wanted for myself. The best thing I learned was how to stop beating myself up when I didn’t reach my goals. If you are willing to put in the work, it will be more than worth your while."

— Leslie | Hackensack, NJ | Career Transition

ACHIEVE BIG BREAKTHROUGHS

"Derrick's coaching is only for someone who is really serious about going deeper and challenging themselves to achieve big breakthroughs in career and life. Don’t take this on unless you’re willing and ready to get to the next level."

— Phela | New Brunswick, NY | Consultant - Change & Conflict Management

My dream client.

Part of what makes this program so effective is the relationship we form... I've worked with enough people to know that my coaching style doesn't work for everyone. My ideal client has experienced frustration... turmoil... intense periods of stress in their career. I'm looking for people who have been successful, but somehow lost the passion and energy for their work... people who want to (re)discover their purpose and add new meaning and direction to their career.

Here are 14 things I'd say about my dream client:

9. Doesn’t always ask for help… very hard on themselves

10. Appreciates structure/process/strategy

11. Honest, Creative, Funny, Kind, Loving

12. Self-doubt holding them back

13. Enjoys a good convo about hopes, dreams, and goals

14. Ready for change!

1. successful corporate America career

2. Likes meaningful work and helping others

3. Unsure about professional future

4. Not afraid of a challenge or leaving comfort zone

5. Hates being micromanaged

6. Believes happiness is a choice

7. Values progress over perfection

8. Hasn’t reached full potential at work

If this sounds like you, then I know we'll be great for each other!

My biggest takeaway is knowing I am great, I am ready, and that I am uniquely poised to do all the things I want to do. I just have to leap. FYI - Only call him if you’re ready to change your life, not a moment before.
