It is such an incredible luxury to have a regular conversation where I know I'm talking to someone who doesn't come with a hidden agenda. The opportunity to talk through my thoughts and ideas with someone who isn't trying to get something out of me, but who simply wants to make sure I've thought things through and am on my own 'right path' is invaluable.

[The Intention Forge] approach is not about quick fixes or generic advice. It’s about forging clarity — intentionally.... I learned to identify and honor my values, and to shape a vision for this next phase of life that feels both grounded and expansive. Through [Darren's] thoughtful coaching, I moved to purposeful action.
I am very thankful that Darren helped me find my footing and move forward with renewed energy and confidence. I’m entering early retirement not as an ending, but as a beginning — and I credit Darren from Intention Forge for helping me see that clearly.

Darren is an exceptional coach with deep expertise and a gift for creating a space where anything feels possible. He listens with genuine presence and evokes powerful insights through gentle, thought-provoking questions. Working with him is both safe and transformative.
Thank you, Darren, for the clarity and growth you’ve helped me find.
Sanaz P.
Coaching is a great self-reflection tool, you're not here to change, you're not here to grow, you're here to accept yourself.
Darren holds that space perfectly and accepts you before you're ready to do that for yourself.
The only wish you'll probably have is not hiring him sooner to be your coach.

You didn't lose your ambition -- the territory you're moving through just held more surprises than expected.
01
Change Happens
Most of our clients were already high performers when everything started feeling… off. The strategies that used to work no longer do. The future that once looked obvious is now foggy. The habits and systems that once drove steady progress suddenly feel misaligned.
That disorientation is normal in a world that keeps accelerating.
02
Getting the lay of the land
All these changes brought about other problems: things like constant second-guessing, procrastination (often disguised as "getting ready to get ready"), and even plain old mental fatigue brought on by trying to understand a constantly shifting landscape.
And, worst of all, just under the surface lies the quiet fear that the things you're working so hard on might not actually matter as much as you once thought they did.
03
You are not meant to feel this way
Disorientation is natural. Getting stuck there is not.
Intention Forge was designed for exactly this moment. We are here to help you reconnect with your deepest aspirations and values, plan your own path forward, and take those next crucial steps that prove you can rise to the challenge.
Forge your inner path.
