‘I came to Darren for coaching because I warmed to his open, easy-going and intelligent approach. I found Darren’s coaching to have the focus, imagination and precision I needed. I am appreciative of Darren’s huge intuition, his ability to stay with an issue and his aptitude for making important connections. I trust Darren’s judgment and would recommend him as an able coach.’ Ms. C.S. - Mi

‘Hiring a life coach is an investment. You invest time, money, energy, it can be emotionally engaging and you obviously expect a return on investment. It is so well worth it with Darren. In 6 months, not only has Darren helped me increase dramatically my level of self esteem but he has helped me successfully find my true life purpose. I have just received a positive answer for the job of my dreams, am moving to a city I love and can clearly visualize my bright future from now on. Darren is a genuine Master of Self Esteem, an inspirational and intuitive coach who can work wonders.

‘Darren is friendly, supportive, attentive and non judgmental thus he creates the optimum environment to speak openly and discuss issues. After a number of coaching sessions with Darren I felt clear about what I wanted out of my life and empowered to take things forward.

‘I turned to Darren for help at a particular low point in my life. A senior and successful executive, I had been off sick for 3 weeks following what had been diagnosed as a series of panic attacks, together with general stress and anxiety. Having received little help from the medical world, I contacted Darren and asked if he was willing to help. I had my first session later that same day, and 8 sessions later, I can honestly say that Darren’s coaching was a real turning point from me. Whilst not yet entirely ‘panic attack free’, the attacks are fewer, further apart and much milder. Additionally, I am about to embark on an exciting new career fulfilling many long held ambitions, and am really positive about the future. Darren was a real catalyst for this change, and his support and guidance was key. Darren’s style is supportive, friendly, intuitive and totally non-judgmental. I cannot recommend him highly enough.’ Ms. M.A Il

‘Fantastic! Life coaching has helped me uncover a secret dream, buried since childhood, drop my limiting beliefs that I wasn’t good enough to go for it and provided me with the motivation to make the commitment and changes to pursue my dream career. I now have a goal! My life coach has been like a best friend, only better! Always listening, never judging, asking the right questions and providing me with constant encouragement. I could not have done it without him!! Thanks Darren’

Ms. H A - Il ‘I started working with Darren soon after coming out of a long-term relationship, and was in a place where I wanted to do something different with my life but I wasn’t sure what. Although I had many ideas, they were all big leaps from my current situation, and I didn’t have the clarity to follow any of them through. Darren has helped me go deep into myself, and re-evaluate who I am, by helping me define my core values, and what I’m deeply passionate about. This has helped me come to a much clearer understanding of where I am going, and the steps I need to take to achieve these goals. I find working with Darren very inspiring, and his style is warm and generous. I particularly liked the way he helped me delve deeper rather than just tackling the surface issues.

“It’s been one week since my first session and I still can’t believe how much better I feel about my life. The technique you taught to deal with difficult customers has worked beyond my wildest expectations. This week would have been one of my worst ever had we not talked, We had a major shipping failure and lots of late orders and irritated customers. All the things that usually drag me down were suddenly unable to phase me. I never would have believed that direct control over my emotions was possible at all, if I hadn’t experienced it. Over the years I’ve studied self help course and read books which have left me thinking I was incapable of change, after Hours of listening and hundreds of pages, nothing was working. But Darren, the hour you spent with me last week on the phone has changed me entirely… from a ticking time bomb to being in total control. If this isn’t a miracle, then it must be that you’ve shown me something very fundamental, profound and practical about the inner workings of emotion, and how easy it is to feel good about life.” Your New Friend, CD, Il

‘Darren is a true professional. I suffered from bad nerves all through my academic years and I needed help in staying calm in the preparation for and writing of my final accountancy exams. I was completely calm on the exam days - I couldn’t believe it was me ! Thanks Darren!’ SC Mo

‘I am a mother of two young kids and last year qualified as a beautician. I dreamed of setting up my own salon but didn’t really believe it would be possible for quite a few years. It was tough enough juggling all the balls already in the air! Thanks to Darren I now spend my time on the important things in life, I have quality time with the children and….I’m now living my dream! I couldn’t have done it without you.’ P.R. Ne

‘I’ve had a number of coaching sessions with Darren and found him to be incredibly helpful, both professionally and personally. Darren has a way of challenging entrenched ways of thinking, gently but persistently, and moving me on from why I can’t do something to setting specific achievable goals which are moving me incrementally in the right direction.’ Ms. AS - NY

Session Durations and frequencySessions usually last 60 minutes although half-day transformation sessions are also available (see below). Typically a program would last for 4-10 sessions with clients paying for batches of 4 sessions in advance. An initial 20min free consultation would be carried out to give the client a better idea of how many sessions would be required and also to assess which coach would best suit their needs or circumstances.

Sessions are usually held weekly to begin with as this helps to establish a good momentum. Towards the end of the programme it may be appropriate to slow down the frequency in order to allow the client time to take the practical steps towards their goal (e.g applying for a new job).

Client Location

Sessions may be carried out in person or over the phone. Both methods are equally effective. At present our coaches are located Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin so it would be feasible to do face-to-face coaching in these locations. Usually clients will initiate the call at a pre-arranged time. 50 Caliber Coaching coaches have worked with several overseas clients and thanks to discounted telephone services in the US, it is possible for such clients to be called by the coach for a small additional fee ($12.50 per session).
Half- Day Transformation Sessions

In the event that a client needs a quick turnaround in their lives but is not keen on the idea of doing a full programme, it may be more fitting for them to do a 4 hour intensive session (in person). The session would be carefully planned in advance by coach and coachee and may include Coaching, NLP and Hyponosis. These sessions are priced at $498.
Homework

Clients are usually assigned practical tasks at the end of each session that will bring them closer to their stated goals. These will usually be suggested by the clients themselves as an outcome from the coaching session. Progress on the tasks is then discussed at the following session.
