Launch

More Than Graphics Podcast

Join Danielle, Cicely, and Priscilla on the More Than Graphics Podcast as they reunite to discuss mental health, emotional intelligence, and the power of launching in the tech and creative industries. They welcome a special guest to dive deep into a playbook for navigating these topics. Discover how the word "launch" can be both empowering and daunting in the world of tech and creativity. Tune in for insightful conversations and valuable perspectives from this dynamic trio on MTG. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Derek has experience providing mental health and behavioral health services to individuals, couples, and groups.
To help clients find meaning and purpose I
utilize cognitive, existential, and a humanistic
approach.
As a Certified Master Life Coach, Derek helps educate and inspire leaders and organizations. I enjoy the journey of helping leaders understand not only the "why" but also the "how" of their leadership.
Derek works with leaders in various industry-leading organizations, helping them enhance their emotional intelligence, communication skills, and decision-making abilities. Helping organizations achieve their goals by prioritizing both leadership and mental health is a focus of Derek’s.
