Transforming communication skills through Darcy's X Factor training

Darcy has provided Tactical Communication training for our team on several occassions. As a former police college instructor, Darcy's authoritative approach to training is impressive, but what really makes him stand out was his approachable and humorous personality. He is well liked by the staff, as I see the staff are much more confident in their ability to handle confrontational situations and their overall work life has improved. Darcy just has the X Factor - he's informative, commanding, experienced, and yet totally approachable.
