Aligned people, effective processes, more ease, a honed niche and a better bottom line... oh, and a few national awards and ‘Dunnington Grubbs’ along the way! Darren’s core strengths are his love and genuine care for growing people and businesses. He is also a partner of a business leadership group named DeliberateU – helping business owners grow like Landmark has experienced. For him, life is to be lived curiously, deliberately and faithfully. |
