Darin C. Wright - I M Your Coach
My Coaching Philosophy & Approach
Mind and heart are the foundation of growth and are the core focus of my approach to coaching. My objective is to assist my clients
with developing and aligning their mindset and passion with their desired goals and objectives. To achieve long-lasting results
one's head and heart must be aligned with their journey.
Why is this important? While the focus for coaching is "results", I want to ensure my client is focusing on the results for the
right destination.
I lead my clients with moving forward in various areas of the personal, professional, and business growth. My approach is to assist
my client with clarifying their vision, establishing their goals, and working with them to achieve the goals. I lead my clients
to gain a greater awareness about theirs BETS (beliefs, emotions, thoughts, and stories) so they may understand what may be
preventing them from breakthrough and growth.
I believe in the "whole-person" approach to growth. My coaching philosophy is rooted in the mind-body-spirit connection so I
encourage my clients to focus on their health & wellness even if I am not directly coaching them in that discipline, as having ample
energy is vital to goal accomplishment. The same applies with developing the mental resiliency to navigate any setbacks.
I integrate my years of experience in growth and development from being a corporate consultant, corporate trainer, college instructor,
and entrepreneur/business owner with my coaching profession. This blend of experience is augmented by being the founder of
I M Possible Mall (I M) which is committed to personal, professional, and
organizational development.
I serve in the following coaching roles:
- Executive Leadership Coach
- Transformation Coach
- Entrepreneur Coach
- Life Coach
- Holistic Health & Wellness Coach
- Spiritual & Metaphysical Coach
I provide one-on-one coaching for individuals and organizations, and group coaching for organizations. I also provide consulting, instructor, and speaker
services. You can

Darin's Life Story Working on Human Potential
Darin’s interest in the human brain, body, and potential began at 17 when he was selected to participate program that granted
him the opportunity to work for a prominent pharmaceutical company as an assistant laboratory technician. Under the tutelage of two
scientists and a lab

One summer at USNA, Darin was invited to visit Success Motivation Institute (SMI) located in Waco, Texas. SMI has since become

school in the world, he was asked to
become a north eastern distributor of SMI’s personal development products. He chose not to accept the offer due to his need to focus
on his studies but he did purchase SMI’s
goal-setting products which he still has today many decades later.
Darin’s passion for understanding human potential continued to grow over the years inspiring him to read more books, and listen to
many audiotapes and CDs from prominent leaders,
speakers, and coaches in the industry. He ultimately opened a retail store, Field of Dreams
(FOD) that solely focused on
personal and professional development products. He co-hosted 3 personal development radio programs and wrote a motivational column
