Darrell is a PCC-level Coach (certified by the International Coaching Federation), a Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC), a Certified Job & Career Transition Coach (JCTC), a Certified Career Management Coach (CCMC), and an Emeritus Licensed Spiritual Counselor (RScP).

A Summa Cum Laude graduate of the University of Texas with degrees in Finance and International Business, Darrell spent his early career with Arthur Young (Ernst & Young) in London. Conferring with a career-coaching firm at the age of 24, he utilized a “stealth” job search method to meet with 7 CFOs of the top Hollywood entertainment studios and landed an international financial position with MGM/United Artists Pictures. He accomplished all of this without going through HR.

Through these initial experiences, he developed an understanding of professional networking and what it takes to get in to meet important people to get ahead. Based in Los Angeles, he educates career transitioning professionals in his Stealth Search™ method and supports entrepreneurs, business leaders and midlifers to design and play BIG GAMES in life.

Darrell is the author of several books, has been featured in in national media, and is the Networking Expert for BeyondB-School.com. He speaks for MBA and university programs nationwide and offers an online program utilized by over 1100 students worldwide, "Dream Job Lifeline".

We look forward to supporting you!

Sincerely,

Darrell W. Gurney and Team
