Meet Your Founder:
Coach Darlene Higgs Hollis
You’re not just learning from a coach.
You’re learning from a Certified Master Coach Trainer, educator, and visionary who built what she couldn’t find.
Darlene Higgs Hollis is a Certified Master Life & Business Coach, accredited Coach Trainer, publisher, and founder of Rebranding My Life International Coaching Academy.
With a background that spans:
-
B.S. in Biology & Chemistry
-
Master of Public Health
-
Former Research & Development Chemist
-
Former middle and high school science teacher
-
University Satellite Director & Director of Continuing Education
She brings a rare combination of structure, strategy, and transformational coaching into the industry.
She Didn’t Just Enter the Coaching Industry — She Studied It
After becoming certified, Darlene realized something many coaches quietly experience:
She had been trained on coaching…
…but not on how to:
-
build a coaching business
-
attract clients
-
or create consistent income
She began meeting other certified coaches who felt the same; trained, but unprepared.
Instead of accepting that as the norm, she built something different.
Built From Experience. Designed With Intention.
Coach Darlene combined her background in:
-
education
-
curriculum development
-
and real-world coaching experience
to create a model that integrates:
-
coaching competency
-
ethical standards
-
and business implementation
So students don’t just feel ready—they actually are ready.
More Than Credentials—A Story of Resilience
Darlene’s work is not just professional—it’s personal.
As a domestic violence survivor and mother who fought to rebuild her life, she understands:
-
what it means to start over
-
find your voice
-
and build something from what you’ve been through
That lived experience shapes how she trains coaches: with depth, compassion, and real-world understanding.
The Mission
Through Rebranding My Life International Coaching Academy, Coach Darlene equips individuals to:
-
turn their experiences into impact
-
build coaching businesses with structure and confidence
-
and create lives that align with who they truly are
Because coaching is not just a passion.
It’s a profession—and it should be built like one.
