Colonel Darrell Thomsen is both an experienced leader and avid student of leadership. I first met Colonel Thomsen when he was speaking to a room full of local Rotarians and business leaders. I was so impressed with his passion about leadership and his inspiring advice, I knew my team and I needed to learn from him. After the first training session, my administrative team naturally responded to his training and started to make meaningful changes immediately. He crafted an atmosphere of togetherness through storytelling and meaningful exercises. He connected with each individual present to create a positive, encouraging learning environment. Colonel Thomsen shared personal experiences that were purposeful and provided a connection between life experiences and the techniques he was teaching. Even in his teaching approach, he displayed a humble, servant leadership style and talked with conviction and excitement to help us create a stronger team. Regardless of whether he is in a room full of business leaders or in a faith-based, educational setting, his expertise shines brightly. I highly recommend his professional development seminars to anyone serious about creating a solid team and being a dependable leader.
