Her ability to inspire and create syndication thorough cohesive business strategy was recognized by age 19, where she was awarded on two separate occasions for her capacities in leadership.
For Darlene, a main component of success is being aware of one’s own attitude. By focusing on what is positive and feeding the mind with healthy thoughts, she believes we are able to overcome even the most trying obstacles. When the U.S. Economy took a down turn in 2007, Darlene was working as the business manager for an architectural firm, and as such was one of the first to feel the impact. Darlene, along with the rest of America witnessed friends, family, co-workers lose their jobs, homes, and retirement. Despite the many losses, Darlene recalls feeling as if these events were not of devastation, rather a time of renewal and new beginnings. In 2010 she formed PAZable Solutions based on the underlying belief that if anything is possible, it can also be done peaceably.
Darlene loves doing all things creative and believes when you do what you love and you do it for a bigger purpose, success is just a natural bi-product. She has played an array of musical instruments including Piano, Guitar, Percussion, and Viola. She also loves painting, cooking, fine spirits, photography and writing. When she’s not working, she’s usually working as the creative flow is to her an inexhaustible source of joy and freedom.
Most recently her passion has been co-authoring biographies. She believes every story deserves to be told as there is always someone to benefit from it. Hence her writing project in which her goal is to capture the essence of individuals life stories, wisdom and experience in written format. Darlene’s inspiration started as she began to write her own story to leave something as a reference for her niece, stating “I wish my grandmother would have left me a manual”. What her clients do with the completed work, is completely up to them. Some just want to have something to leave their children, others may want to market and sell it. Either way, she feels it is important that their stories be preserved in an effort to assist future generations in the understanding that although we are unique as individuals, we were not the first, we won’t be the last and most importantly, we are never alone.
Darlene is a creative visionary with a great mind for business. She is uniquely left and right brain balanced which allows her to be extremely detail oriented without missing the big picture. Professionally, she is known for being hardworking, detailed, organized, creative, dedicated, personable, honest and trust worthy. As a natural problem solver she has innate ability to take the seemingly impossible and design sustainable solutions while delivering her clients peace of mind and confidence. For Darlene, “The PAZabilites are Limitless”
