About Me

I am a Specialty Retail expert with a passion for coaching retailers and business leaders to reach their potential through exceptional customer service and top talent management. I have been developing and coaching high performance leaders and teams for premium retailers such as Williams-Sonoma and the Disney Stores for over 25 years.

I was able to produce division-leading, comparable store growth while keeping expenses in line to deliver maximum profitability. My passion is to exceed customer expectations each and every time. I strongly believe that it is not just about selling, but creating a long-term exceptional experience.

Among my many awards I was named District Manager of the Year as well as People First nominee. These recognitions came from my enthusiastic and authentic leadership approach, demonstrating my exceptional business acumen with integrity and ethics.

In 2010, I became the Founder and President of The Coaching Suite, specializing in Retail, Leadership and Life Coaching.I get to use my gift of recognizing the excellence in others. This continues to be my strength, together with the ability to empower my clients to live a fulfilling professional and personal life.

I have been trained trhough CTI and am working towards my Canadian Sales Profession designation. All of service to my business and life coaching clients.

Darlene is a smart, insightful and incredibly supportive coach! Darlene's thoughtful and intelligent questions helped me pinpoint and clarify my needs and goals. working with Darlene, I was able to recognize and move past the stumbly blocks I wasn't seeing clearly. Effectively encouraged me to move forward.

Combined with her extensive corporate background, Darlene's increduble ability not to only listen but to really "hear" the client creates an environment of total trust and ease. Her skills of intuition were eveident from the outset. Darlene has made a huge difference in my life. She is a true champion of her clients!

“Darlene and I connected prior to her coaching sessions while at Williams Sonoma. I felt right away that she was a person of strong intentions and guidance with a strong affection for people on her path. Once I became a client of hers at the Coaching Suite I instantly felt a support and assistance that I had needed for many years that I didn't even know it. Through our time together over the passed six months I have become more decisive and clear in thought even through the most difficult career choices. Ultimately my goal was to stop confusion, make clear goals and identify the future that I articulate as successful. I have to say the gifts that I have received from Darlene through these sessions have been life-changing. This is the most settled and clear that I have been in my entire career and it has definitely transitioned into my personal life. Darlene's sessions have been an asset to my continued success and my inner peace. Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity

I've known Darlene for more then 2 years. She is a warm and positive person, with great enthusiasm and puts her heart into everything she does. The goal setting workshop she did with my group was no exception. We found her engaging and enthusiastic and her step-by-step approach very thought-provoking, even on an emotional level. We all came away with new insights on tracking and conquering both short and long term goals. I look forward to the next time Darlene speaks with my clinic. She would be a valuable asses for any retail or personal coaching situation.

"I've known Darlene since last year and hired her to be my coach. I have a small business and wanted help in guiding myself and my business forward. Darlene is really creative in guiding you through the decision process and allows me the time to make my decisions. She's a great collaborator and her unique perspective always helps me. Coaching is future based, moving ahead and learning so that tomorrow and the day after works better. It's not about telling you what to do, but rather to support and assist. Darlene is my superstar!"

I first met Darlene at the Oakville Running Room, as she was preparing to head out for a jog. Despite the rain and cold weather outside, she was smiling from ear to ear. Not only is she dedicated, she is optimistic! Several employees had described her to me in glowing terms… and once I met her, I realized they were not exaggerating. I invited her to speak to my group of runners (age 20-60) on a Saturday morning. She arrived early and came prepared with colour-printed pamphlets, which held easy to follow guidelines about how to build smarter goals. Darlene was instrumental in motivating my group to set realistic goals, and taught us valuable techniques to stay committed to them. She leads by example, and she is the result of her own personal mantra; set goals which are fun, genuine, and reasonable, and not only will you succeed, you will be happy along your journey! During her presentation, Darlene was engaging, empathetic, and an inspiring teacher. Following her presentation, she answered all questions with passion and detail. Her sensitivity, diligence, energy and sense of humour made working with her a joy. I highly recommend her as a coach.

"Darlene is a creative and out of the box thinker, bringing a unique and challenging perspective as an executive coach. Through Darlene's services, personal and professional goals align to create a singular focus of working within one's values to achieve end goals."
