After 38 years in my own dental practice and working as a volunteer church and school youth leader for 40 years, I realized I had been coaching for most of my life. Yet, it was March of 2019 that I met a young college professor looking to make changes in his life that I began consciously coaching. At his urging, I began organizing virtual groups and walking with men from as far as Ammon, Jordan.

In my coaching practice, I have found that some men struggle in having authentic friendships, feeling comfortable in their masculinity and being fully known. I help them discover their true worth, their God-given gifts and incorporate that in every part of their life.

 
 
 

I spent the last 5 years doing result based coaching with men. I offer mentor coaching for men under 42 that are ready to take a different direction in their life.

For men over 42, I provide peer coaching that works on current issues the men are facing and creates action plans to address them.

On this path of self- discovery, I recommend a 3-pronged approach: Therapy, Life Coaching and a Peer Group.

Contact me to see how I can help.

Testimonials

  • In this era of endless chatter and self-assertion by friends or family members, Darryl's empathetic and attentive listening style routinely challenges me using my own words, desires and goals.

  • Coaching with Darryl has been an excellent experience. His presence just radiates deep warmth and compassion. With his natural giftings as an empathetic non-judgmental listener and his coaching tools, he has helped me sort out confusion in my complex story, helped to see me for my own giftings, and to make big strides in moving towards more whole relationships in family and in my life.

    Cody Oregon

  • Darryl is an incredibly gifted listener who creates a safe space for me to share my burdens, successes, failures, and feelings. Darryl values my words and makes everything that I share with him, no matter how big or small, feel significant and meaningful. He encourages me when I need encouraged, pushes me when I need pushed, and faithfully walks with me as I set goals and strive to meet them. I would not be where I am today without Darryl’s presence in my life, and I recommend him to anyone looking to grow.

    Nathan Tennessee

  • My greatest dream, throughout my life, was to get married and have a family; as I got older, I started to wonder if that dream would ever be realized, if my unwanted same sex attraction would make it impossible for me to have the family life I always deeply desired. Things changed dramatically for me after meeting Darryl Deason; through our conversations, through his coaching, and through our shared commitment and dedication to the work, I experienced radical changes in my life. On my wedding day I thanked God from the bottom of my heart that he brought Darryl into my life; the radical transformation I've experienced in my life would not be possible without him."

    Joe Wisconsin

  • After years of deliberating on taking steps deeper into relationship with my dad, I faced my fears and Darryl and I finally invited my dad to try out coaching. What seemed like astronomically challenging, off-limits conversations I dreamed of having with my dad, came almost effortlessly when we had Darryl to just merely hold sacred space for the both of us. In sessions, he knew the delicate art of when and how to be my subtle advocate, to help me be truly heard. Facing my shadows first with Darryl, then bringing them to the light with my Dad helped me work through what years of therapy wouldn’t be able to touch. I recommend Darryl to anyone who hopes to take their healing journey to deeper levels, not just individually but beyond into the seemingly complicated waters that our families can be.
