What’s Gratitude Got to Do with Leadership? 

About me, Star Dargin, and why my leadership coaching is grounded in gratitude  

Whether you or your organization are in need of change or you want to be a more successful leader… you’re going to need a sharp set of tools in your tool box to move forward.

Great leaders and managers must be morally and ethically driven while being resilient, reliable and flexible. 

Gratitude supports all of that and gives leaders the skills they need to navigate uncertainty, complexity, and rapid change! 

The Results with Stronger Gratitude? 

• More Confident
• Less Stressed, Calmer
• Improved Outcomes

I bring a gratitude-based approach to my executive leadership coaching clients and speaking.  I work with leaders with their challenges and environments to show when and how to use gratitude to make the most impact. 

Does gratitude play a role in increased productivity? 

Can gratitude help you give better feedback to the underperformers and tough team members? 

Is gratitude the key to increased engagement and trust building for better decisions? 

Can applying gratitude in the workplace really translate to better results? 

Is strong gratitude even needed with all this uncertainity and change around AI, Artificial Intelligence?

Speaking

I love inspiring leaders with tangible steps to take action right away! Not your average speaker, I take a holistic approach and emphasize engagement, interaction, growth, and actionable learning. Your audience will walk away with fresh practical insights and inspiration and an understanding of how to implement right away.

Hi, I’m Star Dargin, PCC, CPCC

I’ve led and managed in a variety of industries and for many well-known companies. 

As a leadership coach for over 25 years, I’ve attended hundreds of leadership training courses, weekend overnight programs for top performers, and read endless leadership books (plus written two of my own). I’ve taught leadership workshops and master-level university project management. And I’ve talked with 1000’s of senior leaders and managers. 

In all my experience, there’s no one-size-fits-all leadership model for every individual or industry. Leadership is unique to each person and situation.

 Leadership is a skill that can be learned and adapted in a way that works for you, your team, and your culture. 

 That’s where I step in and guide you! 

I help experienced leaders and teams to develop skills, reach objectives and goals, and take tangible action steps towards their success.   I work with leaders to make the invisible visible, so they can achieve the results they want. 

With me, gratitude is present and part of the conversation when appropriate, because no matter which skills you want to develop, the fastest way to grow them is by pairing them with gratitude. 

But this isn’t a “fluffy, everyone’s happy all the time”, watered down version of gratitude. These are tangible, strategic, measurable skills that incite change even amidst difficult, complex, and uncertain times. Gratitude allows us to see a larger reality, which produces sustainable and authentic results.
