Darren Phipps, Business Coach/Life Coach

I have had wide ranging career experience in military, science, manufacturing, and software engineering. I also have been a student of personal development and the Life Coaching process for years. I left my successful corporate career to live in harmony with my own inner values, and to help others achieve the success and happiness that we all deserve. I created this web site with the every day person in mind, knowing that everyone can have unlimited abundance and fulfillment. I believe that we can all contribute the most to our family, our community and our planet when we are doing work that we love and living a happy and positive life. Despite what society might tell you…this is not hard! It is easy when you remove obstacles, release worry and fear, change limiting beliefs, discover your deepest values and develop an inspiring vision for your life.

I believe that every person has a certain amount of life force, and If, like many, most of your energy goes towards a daily activities that you don’t like (your job!), we will need to start there. We will work together to discover your unique talents and how you can best contribute them to the world. When you do work that you love, it no longer feels like “work”…and the money naturally flows! A career change may be in order, or we may help you change the way you relate to your present job.

This is all tied in to your personal success. You probably already know what you “should” be doing. Why aren’t you doing it? Negative relationships, stress, low self-esteem, and ignoring your own values and intuition drains your energy and prevents you from enjoying the easy flow of a peaceful life. One of our first objectives will be to eliminate these influences from your life.

Some Personal Info (feel free to skip if you want!):

I love coaching, giving talks, writing, helping others, reading, the outdoors, being happy and peaceful, playing golf, being with friends and family, walking my dogs, caring for my tropical fish, computers, spiritual activities and Law and Order. I am expert in a special technique of dreaming called lucid dreaming.

I served in the US Marine Corps for 6 years where I was a trainer, and flight mechanic in C-130 squadrons. I am professionally educated as an engineer with a MBA and a PhD, and in my corporate career, I was a consultant, and a plant manager among other positions along the way. I am married to my wonderful wife Kerry, and we have two beautiful children Christine (9) and Brianna (7).

What types of results have my clients had?

• · A medium size business owner has expanded his business by 30% in one year, while reducing his stress level and drastically reducing his time spent at work. Update: He has now completely turned over the operations of the business to a general manager, and is pursuing more fulfilling activities
• · An executive has greater personal fulfillment, and changed positions to one that allows for more learning and work-life balance. Update: He is now writing a book!
• · A Work at Home Mom who struggled to get her Mary Kay business to be profitable, is now one of the top consultants in the region, and still climbing. Update: She is now in the top 15 consultants in the country.
• · A grandmother that couldn’t say no has healed abusive relationships in her life, and achieved new levels of personal power and happiness
• · An artist/writer has rediscovered her creative passion and is well on the way to completing her first novel…And having a great time doing it!
• · A woman who was holding back and not fully expressing herself has embraced her true worth, beliefs, and interests and entered a dream Master’s program

In general, my clients tend to be happier, much less stressed, more aware, more willing to fulfill their own desires, mastering interpersonal boundaries, more fulfilled in their relationships or ending negative ones, learning what will be a truly fulfilling career direction, taking inspired action, and experiencing inspired results! They are also surprised at how *easy* life can be when your actions are truly aligned with your core understanding of who you are and what you value.
