In the role as a financial advisor, adversity is a constant.  Darren’s positivity and guidance around piercing through all the noise is extremely valuable.  From providing tools to combat the volatility of the profession to demonstrating the right mindset, he provides strong guidance to advisors only available from someone who thoroughly understands the business.

Darren is a pioneer in the coaching world. He has an uncanny talent to listen and understand exactly what you personally need in order to improve yourself personally and professionally. His model of “rinse and evolve” allows for him to create a personal playbook for you because you have different needs than everyone else. My mental mindset has dramatically shifted, as he guided me to understand that the person we speak to the most is Ourselves, and that how I talk to myself must validate the energy required to optimize my personal plan for growth. How I do anything is how I do everything and coming to this epiphany was an eye opening moment as it has allowed me to be a better husband and father, as well as create a roadmap to make measurable improvements in my career as a salesperson. It’s not rocket science, but neither is effort. Thank you Darren for helping me take my life to the next level.  J.Y. (Asset Mgmt. Distribution)

 

I am a natural cynic and I have always pushed back against the idea of coaching because I always wondered about the capabilities of the available coaches.  Fortunately, having had the opportunity to interact with Darren of DCB Strategies in a business capacity, I knew him to be a committed, thoughtful and a truly competent professional.  This made my decision to engage in the process easier and I am so grateful that I took this opportunity to invest in myself.  Darren exudes uncommon focus and enthusiasm and he helped me to craft a repeatable process that has driven exceptional results in a short period of time.  Our conversations have given me a playbook that I will draw from forever in both my professional and my personal life.  D.F.

Darren and DCB Strategies have truly impacted my career. His extraordinarily positive and professional approach helped me open up to areas where I really needed guidance in my style and my strategy. Darren not only gave me tools, road maps and strategies but also identified areas where I could improve. Darren is very effective in helping me gain the confidence that has significantly impacted my approach and ultimately my business.   H.A. (Asset Mgmt.Distribution)

DCB guided my team to think deeply and intentionally about all areas of our practice.  This included our focus, goals,  and ultimately our "Why" which is what motivates us to relentlessly attack each day.  We learned how to implement consistent, repeatable, strategies and checkpoints to level up on our growth.  The frequent check-ins have kept us on course. Forever appreciative!                D.L.

Darren has been a great resource to keep us focused on the important aspects of our practice, with outside the box perspective on staying intentional with our daily habits. These consistent reminders and new ideas have created new opportunities and solidified current relationships. You also can't beat Darren’s infectious energy and passion for making an impact!   A.P. (Financial Advisor)

Teaming with DCB Strategies has allowed me to navigate the constant variables in my business by having a holistic and succinct experience plan for my advisors. What separates DCB from other coaches I have worked with is the collaboration component so as the plan is formed using my personal experiences and voice, which in turn leads to a more professional and genuine experience for my advisors. In addition the effect on my family time is equally elevated as I am “Present” knowing that with our plan I can navigate the endless distractions that come my way.  C.B. (Asset Mgmt.Distribution)

I have truly benefited from my partnership and friendship with Darren Cde Baca.  I was looking for an additional component that would help increase the impact of every ounce of effort I was putting into growing my practice.  Darren is a force multiplier.  He helped me focus and organize.  He helped me stay on track over time.  He helped me isolate and work on specific areas of leverage that increased the impact of my effort every day.  My results improved and my practice became more efficient.  The combination has allowed me to have a positive impact on the lives of more families while increasing the amount of time available to me personally.    J.O. (Financial Advisor)

Darren was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. He helped me get my mind right and focus on what I control. I continue to grow and build by business based off of the building blocks shared by Darren. I have since referred a few colleagues, as I believe all individuals at any stage in their career can learn a tremendous amount from DCB strategies!

Working with Darren helps me turn down the background noise distracting me from what really matters most.  Finding a true purpose that drives me everyday toward deliberate growth is effervescent and contagious.  By staying in my lane I am creating a successful business to hold up as a shinning example for my children.  Thank you Darren for your friendship!      J.B. (Asset Mgmt.Distribution)

Partnering with Darren has truly been inspirational and motivated me out of my complacency. I couldn’t have asked for a better time to work with DCB because it was when I felt comfortable in my life and did not necessarily want to take on any additional risks. However, after working with Darren, certainly had a couple of “a ha” moments and have been pivotal to incorporate in both my professional as well as my personal life to be the best of me. Thank you Darren for your encouragement and positive energy!! H.K. (Asset Mgmt.Distribution)

 

The experience was great. Discussions were fluid and enlightening regarding how your mind operates. It challenged me to think in different, positive ways and instilled how important your mind is to driving behavioral and attitude.
