Star Dargin
PCC, CPCC, BS in CS
NH, USStar Dargin has built a diverse resume across multiple industries and leadership positions before founding Star Leadership nearly twenty years ago. Star has lead both domestic and international teams. Her roles have included Director of Engineering, Director of Project Managers, and International Program Manager. Through her experience in such areas as the software engineering, project management, education, and products, she saw firsthand the negative organizational impact of unprepared leaders. Intelligence and potential are not enough; leaders often lacked the tools and self-knowledge they needed to be effective. In response, she has developed her unique approach designed to equip leaders with the knowledge and tools needed to sustainably build cohesive, functional, positive, results-oriented teams. Her approach and effectiveness have been honed through over 2000 hours of coaching clients and delivering hundreds of successful training modules.
A key pillar of Star's unique approach is from a place of gratitude by integrating apparent opposites into a synergistic whole. By relying on the power of the word "AND," conditions that might be seen as in conflict can be opened and effectively combined. The result is a strong, rapport-building, innovative, and inclusive approach to team building and problem solving. Her speaking style is engaging and thought producing on topics of: leadership, project management, team building, and effective communication.
She is the author of many articles and the book, Leading with Gratitude: 21st Century Solutions to Boost Engagement and Innovation. The book is the topic of many of her keynotes and is focused at leaders wanting to improve productivity of themselves and their teams. Star has been twice nominated for Business Coach of the Year by the International Coaching Federation of New England (ICFNE).
She holds a B.S. in Computer Science, and has earned coaching certifications through the International Coaches Federation (ICF) and the Coaches Training Institute (CTI). She is a member of the National Speakers Association (NSA), and is affiliated with the Project Management Institute (PMI). She's been teaching project management at Boston University since 2000.
