“Manage your career,” they say, “or it’ll manage you.”
Great advice (even though I’m not sure who “they” are), but how come no one teaches us what “manage your career” even means???
Truth is, in today’s professional environment, if you and your team want careers that work for you AND your life, you’ve got to take back control.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Darcy Eikenberg, PCC—also known as Coach Darcy.
As a trained, credentialed coach for leaders & high-performing teams, I help you make work work for you and your people.
Through my corporate speaking and training programs,, online classes, webinars, private coaching programs and even my free weekly content, my team and I will help you
Create more clarity about what’s happening and what you and your team really want at work;
Build confidence and courage to talk back to the gremlins in your head telling you it can’t be done; and
Define the actions you can take to get unstuck and move forward, faster.
”Darcy served as a personal executive coach during a very pivotal time of my career. Not only did she assist by leading me to ask myself the difficult (yet simple) questions, she followed through with practical action steps. I recommend Darcy to any individual or organization serious about finding the best in themselves and building a strong base for future growth.“Ron Wald, Minneapolis
”Thanks to my work with Darcy, things worked out as we planned. I didn’t have to look elsewhere to find what I was looking for from my work—I found it right at my own company.“Michael Hodnett, Atlanta, GA
”I am surviving and thriving much thanks to the “reset” work we did together. In a time where merit raises were unexpected, [my boss] told me I was one of the highest – if not the highest – on the team. Yea! Our work is being seen! Thank you for making the time to coach me and for your wise guidance. You are so appreciated.“Blair Williamson, Bryan, TX
”I truly can’t say enough about my experience with Darcy. While I reached out to her for a specific moment in time almost 4 years ago – she has now seen me through so much growth and transition. She asks me thoughtful questions that make me think about things in ways I normally wouldn’t. She encourages me when I need it most. And she challenges me in all the best ways. The time we have is so important to me and is valuable – and I can honestly say it has been the best investment I have made in myself.“Amanda Ferber, Atlanta
”Her overall demeanor is welcoming and supportive, yet with enough backbone to know that she has a real focus and purpose to help me help myself.“Greg Morrell, Laguna Beach, CA

(Note: Any […]Read the full post >>
If you’ve had a bad day—or even a tough year—you might be hunting for things to be thankful for at work. We’re thankful of course for the tough jobs others do that keep us all moving forward: healthcare and hospital workers, police and firefighters, delivery drivers, staff in companies such as grocery stores, senior living […]Read the full post >>
I’m always asking my readers and speaking audiences to tell me their real-world, real life questions about decisions and choices you need to make in your life at work. Here’s one I hear all the time: “What do I do if my skills are not being utilized?” (Personally, I hate the word “utilized” for anything […]Read the full post >>
(the “year” has now become ten; and counting.) It happened again the other night—this time at a neighborhood party. “Did you see ________ on TV last night?” And I have to smile quietly and answer “no. ” I believe “no” is a complete answer, but in this case, it’s not exactly a fair one. Because […]Read the full post >>
“I think I’m worth more, but honestly, Darcy, I’m afraid to ask for more money at work. What if it ticks my boss off? Do I look greedy? Or what if she says no? Or even worse, what if I’m wrong and I’m really not worth it? Help!!” If you’ve ever been afraid to ask […]Read the full post >>
“I thought this was my dream job,” Mark told me as he debated whether it was time to leave his company. “But right now, I hate the office politics.” Mark’s not alone. Most of us get annoyed with the crazy junior high dance we call “office politics.” But rather than shy away (’cause truthfully, they’re […]Read the full post >>
Are you feeling the pressure to be more valuable at work? Maybe you just want to keep your job safe when others are getting cut or temporarily furloughed.

Are you so caught up in doing your work that you’re not winning new work? Or, if you’re in an internal role, are you failing to win the attention and agreement of your peers, leaders, and others–and so feel stuck executing tactics instead of getting new ideas moving ahead? If that’s you, this interview is […]Read the full post >>
Thousands of professionals all over the world are getting ready to do something that once seemed impossible: they’re about to return to the office. For those of you whose memories don’t go back very far, the office wasn’t just a sadly funny TV show, but a destination for people to head to when they wanted […]Read the full post >>
For the most part, I love birthdays. What I don’t love about birthdays is they can sometimes make us think too much about our lives and our careers. I’m all for deep thoughts. But too often the birthday-triggered thoughts sound something like this: What am I doing with my life? Does my work really matter? […]Read the full post >>
