#26: Raise the Bar in Your Life with Coach Dar
Show Notes

For this episode, I had the opportunity to sit down with Darleen Santor, better known as Coach Dar (@thecoachdar). As a Board Certified Occupational Therapist, business executive, speaker and survivor of multiple strokes, she is passionate about helping people break through barriers to achieve their goals. 

She blends a knowledge of science, psychology and achievement with her personal passion for life and her clients range from Fortune 100 executives, artists, professional athletes, to high school and college students as well as large organizations. Coach Dar was awarded Most Inspiring Woman from WNBA, is the United States Ambassador for Global Pay it Forward Day, and is the mental conditioning coach for the Phoenix Suns. 

In this interview we cover:

  • Why she made the jump to entrepreneurship during the 2008 recession after having a successful corporate career
  • The importance of looking at the whole person in life coaching 
  • What emotional intelligence is and why it’s important 
  • The value of “pauses”, and a handy acronym to help you remember it 
  • How to navigate failure 
  • How to find the balance between pursuing excellence and avoiding burnout
  • The power of visualization, a morning routine, and having your own personal “anthem”
  • What it means to “Raise the Bar” in your life
