Guest Speaker: Darryn Le Grange

Darryn grew up on the Bluff and attended Grosvenor Boys High School. After school, he worked and studied part time for 6 years and qualified as a Chartered Accountant. He was very fortunate to be given management position opportunities at a young age and this enabled him to gain great experience early on in his career.

In 2007, Darryn landed his dream job as Financial Director of Blue Security. 5 years later at the age of 33, he was promoted to Managing Director. Under his watch, Blue Security won the Best Security Company in KZN on numerous occasions.

In 2014, Darryn took the bold step of leaving his beloved Blue Security to pursue his life-long dream of having his own business and acquired an Action Coach franchise where he gets to fulfil his passion of working with business owners on a daily basis to help them grow themselves, their businesses and their profits.

In November 2014, he was awarded the South African Rookie coach of the year award and in August 2015 Darryn was awarded the Global Rookie of the Year Award at the ActionCOACH global conference in Bali, beating 150 new coaches from 75 countries around the world. In November 2015, Darryn won the National Sales Award for the highest conversion rate and in 2016 & 2017. The Abundance Award in 2017 and Darryn’s firm, ActionCOACH Ignite has also won the brand Personality of the Year in 2017 & 2018, as well as the Firm of the Year in 2017 & 2018.
