      At 34 Strong, we believe that everyone deserves a great place to work. The challenge is, most leaders lack the time, expertise, and internal resources necessary to make a REAL DIFFERENCE in their workplace culture. So, 34 Strong helps Loving Leaders transform their organizations into worldwide best workplaces. By "Loving Leaders," we mean cool leaders who love their people. If you LOVE your people, we can do the rest. Our empathetic and humanistic process is simple, yet powerful, and has been applied with great success in organizations like Tesla, Bank of America, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Teams that leverage our process typically achieve: • 6x higher employee engagement • 38% improved productivity and 50% reduced employee turnover • Enhanced culture, restored trust, and respectful communication Our most popular offerings include: • Executive Coaching • Management Training • Wellbeing Webinars • Custom Program Development As 34 Strong’s COO, I serve Loving Leaders through my attention to relationships. From working with hundreds of Loving Leaders across the US, I have cultivated so many close partnerships and friendships. These relationships have helped me to understand the needs of Loving Leaders on a deeper level. My best days at work are when clients say, “Darren, I feel like you GET me,” because I know that genuine understanding of your circumstances will empower me to over-deliver on your expectations and help you meet your goals, overcome your fears, achieve your hopes, and manifest the team of your dreams! Check out 34STRONG.COM or book a time to chat with our team if you’re curious to learn how we can help you hit your workplace development goals! *We leverage Gallup’s Q12 and CliftonStrengths tools. My Top 10 CliftonStrengths are: Maximizer | Achiever | Arranger | Self-Assurance | Activator Connectedness | Belief | Command | Learner | Positivity Show less
