In this week's episode, I am joined by Darleen
Santore, AKA Coach Dar!
Coach Dar is passionate about helping people break through
adversity to achieve
greatness. Recently named Senior Fellow of PathNorth—an
organization of world leaders
and CEOs of Fortune 100 companies—her powerful message continues to
reach a global
audience.
Coach Dar blends a knowledge of psychology,
life, experience, and her personal mission in life to inspire
greatness in everyone she meets. The result? Individuals,
corporate
executives, and professional athletes discover their own personal
missions, individual gifts,
and set their sights on the goals that they thought impossible.
It is her unique style and approach during transformational seminars, high-impact speaking engagements, and exclusive one-on-one sessions that has helped countless people say NO to the status quo, raise the bar in their lives, and breakthrough adversity to reignite their fire.
Coach Dar was awarded the Most Inspiring Woman
of 2017 by the WNBA, recognized
in the 2018 VoyagerPhoenix series titled Trailblazers: Rewriting
The Narrative, and is
a founding member of WISH (Women in Service and Hope) for the
Society of St.
Vincent de Paul in Phoenix.
Coach Dar is also a United States Ambassador for the Global Pay It Forward Day Initiative, driven by the belief that #RaisingTheBar includes acts of kindness that leave every person and every place we encounter better than when we found them.
