A Note From Darryll
From as early as I can remember, I felt called to speak.
I was captivated by rappers, comedians, and preachers—not just for what they said, but how they said it.
How they moved people.
How they made people feel something that shifted their mood, their health, their confidence — their perspective.
Yet, despite feeling the calling to do the same, I ignored the inner whispers and listened to my insecurities instead.
- I’m not a speaker.
- I can barely put two sentences together.
- People have been through way worse or accomplished way more
- I have ADHD.
- There’s no way I can tell my story without unraveling.
- I’m not an emotional person.
- There’s already more than enough speakers out there.
- I’m better 1-on-1 with people.
- I don’t know what to say, how to say it, or where to even start.
- I’d rather just do Q&A.
All of those were exact words I said to myself on repeat.
So, even though I knew I had a message, I tiptoed.
I avoided.
I over-performed in other places—mainly sports—because it gave me the affirmation I was too afraid to demand through my voice.
Everything changed in 2012 when I found faith and surrendered to the whispers I had been ignoring inside. [Full story on my About page],
Despite my insecurities, my inexperience, the pain I was still holding from my past, and the fear I had about stepping into who I was meant to be,
I started afraid.
First as a graduate student retaking an undergraduate public speaking course.
Then as a teaching assistant for the same class.
Then to athletic teams.
Then churches.
Then corporations.
Desperate to become the leader and communicator I knew I was destined to be, I did everything I could to grow — books, podcasts, online research, courses, etc. I hired coaches like John C. Maxwell, Josh Shipp, Pete Vargas, Pat Quinn, Jane Atkinson, and Grant Baldwin.
I trained under voices like Travis Hall, Eric Thomas, Lisa Nichols, Bishop T.D. Jakes and Les Brown.
I gave TEDx talks.
And I started teaching what I’d learned—about storytelling, communication, voice and leadership.
I committed myself (and still do) to the mastery of three things:
The Message. The Mic. And Myself.
I’ve helped people at every stage of the journey…
- People in recovery learning to tell the truth without shame
- Entrepreneurs pitching high-stakes ideas to 7, 8, and 9-figure investors
- Coaches launching books, brands, courses, or preparing for TEDx talks
- Visionaries navigating mergers, exits, crisis, and transitions
- Elite athletes who were stars in sports but average on stage
- Elders in their 70s & 80s still looking for ways to add value to others with their wisdom and stories
I’ve coached them all. In different ways. With one shared goal:
To help them become the living embodiment of their message.
That’s why I don’t just consider myself a speaker coach.
I have a gift to draw forth the rawest, deepest core of your expression and share it with the world.
So whether you’re trying to figure out your purpose, or at the peak of your game looking for your next challenge, there’s a starting place for you.
The journey of 1,000 miles always begins with one step.
I’m excited to see what step you take.
