Empowering leaders to excel through sustainable high performance

Darryll Stinson is becoming known as one of the most dynamic vulnerable speakers of our time. A former Division 1 athlete, Darryll went through a severe depression after a back surgery ended his path to the NFL. Thankfully, everything changed when he found faith and mental health practices in a psychiatric unit. Today, Darryll is a 2xTEDx speaker, best-selling author and masterful storyteller who combines his experience as an elite athlete, his personal challenges in mental health, and his expertise in communication to ignite massive growth within individuals and organizations. He’s graced stages with celebrities such as Magic Johnson, Seth Godin, Jack Canfield, Eric Thomas and more. His energetic, heartfelt and thought-provoking presentations leave a lasting imprint, making him a compelling choice for event organizers. When he's not empowering others, Darryll enjoys solitude, long walks in nature, and spending quality time with his wife, Brittany, and their 4 children.

We serve the adventure travel community from all over the world. There were people from 50 countries at our conference. As you can probably imagine, it's hard to move a crowd that’s so wildly diverse in culture. Darryll did it! He did a phenomenal job. The crowd was moved, and I was moved personally. I cannot say enough good things about his role as a speaker and motivator.

Darryll exceeded expectations for our virtual event. You could feel his energy and passion through the screen, and you could tell he took the time to think specifically about our executives’ work challenges to give them practical steps they could take to reduce their stress, increase their performance and encourage their expression in the workplace.
