About Me
I’m a small business coach who works with owners across Australia and the UK to solve real challenges and turn them into practical wins. With years of management, leadership and marketing experience across several industries, I share clear, no‑nonsense strategies that lift growth, profitability, and long‑term stability.
Before coaching and my management career, I was an athlete who represented my country. That experience shapes how I coach: disciplined preparation, measurable goals, and steady improvement over quick fixes. I bring a performance mindset to business — clarity on the game plan, accountability to stay on track, and the resilience to adjust when conditions change. It’s about building confidence through repetition, focusing on the controllables, and celebrating progress while chasing bigger goals.
My coaching is hands‑on and outcomes‑focused.
Together, we’ll:
Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your business.
Streamline your business to create a high performing operation.
Attract clients who truly appreciate your expertise and repel the wrong clients who would waste your time and resources.
Help you get more done each day without burn out.
I’ll also walk through simple, repeatable ways to position yourself and your business as the go‑to professional in your space, so you stand out for the right reasons.
I’m committed to each client’s success and focused on helping every business thrive. If you’re a small business owner in Australia or the UK looking to overcome roadblocks and grow with clarity, I’m here to help.
Let’s shape your business into a strong, standout brand that attracts ideal clients and grows sustainably. Together, we’ll unlock its full potential and set you up for long‑term success.
What Clients Are Saying ...
“I have had the pleasure of working with Darren for over 3 years now. I found him through a podcast I was listening to when I was still on the tools. He was mentioned as a business coach for the host and so I googled him, reach out and to my surprise, a couple weeks later we had our first coaching session. Since then, Darren has played a pivotal role in our growth as a business. He has coached me through hiring (and the opposite), implementing new processes and systems, business development, forecasting and understanding my financials, marketing and so much more. He was there supporting me through the process of closing our biggest contract and likewise, he’s been substituting as a therapist whenever I’ve had a meltdown. Surely, I’m his toughest client and he hasn’t dropped me yet, so I guess we’re now friends as well. Thanks to Darren’s guidance, each year we’re growing leaps and bounds. I’m now working ON my business (off the tools) rather than in my business. If you’re looking for someone who has 30+ years managing staff, businesses and you need someone outside of your wife, friends and family to help you grow your business like I did, consider Darren. For me, he’s been an invaluable addition to our inner circle. Considering you’re reading this review, I’d say just give him a call and have a chat like I did. Good luck on your business journey”.
"Played A Pivotal Role In Our Growth As A Business"
Brendan, Sydney
"Working with Darren has been a complete game-changer for my business. In just a few sessions, I gained clarity on my goals and started making confident decisions that actually moved the needle. The mix of insight, accountability and practical tools helped me shift to truly be in control in driving my business in the right direction. I can’t recommend his coaching and program enough."
"Darren has a very clear understanding and ability to sculpt the end-to-end process of business marketing from the first online ads through to lead acquisition through to completion of sales or other intended goals. He listens intently to you and captures the spirit of your operation and builds a user journey and experience brilliantly commensurate with that. He’s a pleasure to work with. "
"If you’re reading this, then you or someone you care about, probably needs some guidance in business. Why then, would I recommend inviting Darren to be that guide? Simply put, because he understands. He understands business, understands the problems we face, the big challenges to be overcome and the little day to day trials. Better yet, he understands what you need to do about it. By asking the right questions, and sharing the necessary steps, Darren will guide you from where you are, to where you and your business need to be. I would encourage you to make contact with him today. Start to get the help you need and secure an opportunity to be guided in business by Darren. I am so thankful I did. I look forward to each session and the value I get from it. He has and continues to have, such a positive impact both personally and in business."
"Darren has been an amazing sounding board for both my business and personal life. Darren listens and is able to provide different perspectives and tailored advice to meet my particular needs. Darren has facilitated my growth and successfully helped me change my mindset from working in the business to now working on the business. A significant change that Darren has helped me with is tracking my numbers. Through this process, my hourly rate and average ticket price have improved greatly. Since working with Darren, I have implemented different initiatives and set up a CRM software that has freed up several hours of which I now spend with my family during the week."
"We had a fantastic time working with Darren, the heart and soul of NEXUSPRO. He made us a website that's just what we wanted – it's neat, easy to use, and just looks great. Darren really listened to what we needed and delivered it all on time and with a super friendly touch. Plus, his business coaching is top-notch. He's been there for us through thick and thin, helping us figure things out in our business journey. If you need a great website and some solid business advice, Darren's your man!”
"I have been working with Darren for over four years. In that time, our business has faced many challenges and many successes and through it all I consider myself to have been very blessed to have Darren working alongside us. He is a fantastic listener who is not rushed to give advice and so when he does give advice, it is considered and valuable. In the time we have worked with Darren, we have tripled the turnover of our business (in the first 18 months), increased our hourly rate by more than 40% and established our business as a leader in the industry. He understands marketing, is an innovative thinker, he’s great with creating new systems and has helpful advice for running small teams."
"NEXUSPRO has taken our business to another level. Through meticulous methods and critical thinking we have applied successful strategies and operations to land clients in our specific field through the techniques taught to us. We work closely with Nexuspro month to month and this has helped guide us to better decisions to progress forward. If you want to move forward as a business then this is the best thing for you (I write this in Greece whilst my business operates in Sydney during our peak season)"
