His ability to diagnose problems and identify the root cause of issues leads to understanding and developing a well-executed plan for pushing boundaries forward. Darryl helped a health management client build out their 3-year goals, improve operating structure and oversight, and create systemized procedures for managing relationships and attracting new clients. 

Strong in strategic planning and leadership management, Darryl helps clients resolve difficult challenges by removing emotions and conflict to find common ground. He helped one building contractor grasp the importance of culture and leadership, and together they identified and structured a team of division leaders. After creating a continuous employee assessment program that tracked skill development, Darryl’s client saw prompt attention to problem issues, improved employee morale, and retention, and increased motivation to build work proficiencies. 

A Canada native and former semi-professional hockey referee, Darryl resides in West Vancouver, British Columbia. He enjoys cruising up the BC coastal waters and anchoring his boat to hike, paddle board, and enjoy great food and company out on the water.
