“Your word, your business, your knowledge can be the very thing someone needed to keep going,” shares Darleen Santore, best known as “Coach Dar”.

Darleen is an author, occupational therapist, motivational speaker, and the former Mental Skills Coach for the Phoenix Suns. She works with professional athletes and CEO’s helping them to shift their mindset, fully embrace their gifts, and overcome setbacks. As a child, she was always drawn to wanting to help others and this desire followed her into her adult life. At just 25 years old, Darleen suffered a brain bleed from a chiropractic manipulation and ended up having a stroke. Even though the prognosis was not great, she never gave up. Instead, she pushed forward even harder, wanting to use her gifts to help as many people as she could with the time she had left. Come on in and hear Coach Dar’s inspirational story of how to reframe setbacks as an opportunity to grow.

Today’s top takeaways:

• Success doesn’t happen overnight
• It’s okay to give away your gifts for free.
• Learn how to reframe setbacks. When you reframe the game, you get better.
