A smaller, hands-on session where people work through it together, talk to each other and take something home they can use the next day.

Why Darryl

Five reasons people choose Darryl

People bring me in because of what happens in the room.

The room stays awake

Depending on your event, some people are there because it's mandatory. Others want to be there but have a hundred emails to answer. Music, videos and a few other tricks up my sleeve keep the energy up in the room.

The room takes part

No one wants to hear somebody speak for an hour. Heck, I don't even want to hear myself. I get people involved, so they're active in their learning.

Fear, without the heavy

We talk about fear, but it's not a downer. We go on the roller coaster together, and no one leaves on a low.

Built on thousands of real fears

For years, I've asked people to write one fear. Thousands of those cards shaped the Fearing Less Framework: Trace, Embrace and Grace, a simple way to fear a little less.

I get educators

I've spoken in schools and on campuses since 2015. I know an August PD day feels different than one in May, and a conference feels different than a retreat. Nobody in that room wants to sit through something that isn't a valuable use of their time.

98%of 632 educators said it was a valuable use of their time.
