"When I first wrote down my goals for the year, I about had a heart attack and 9 months into it I realized I already achieved those goals and I attribute that success with working with Derek."
– Michelle Bailey

"Derek Schenck shines on a stage! His passion and purpose-driven lifestyle are evident in every mannerism. Derek finds a compassionate way to deliver content that is relevant to every level of production. Oh, and he even sprinkles in a decent portion of humor. Simply put, if Derek is speaking, I’m attending!"
– Justin Meccia
Â
"The ARETELIFE program came into my life at the perfect time. I have been experiencing Burnout from the crazy last 3 years in Real Estate.  It has shown me what my true values are and then helped me to build a life plan to stay in those values. I believe that this course and the work that I will be doing after will truly be revolutionary for my business and my family life."
– Deb Warren

“He doesn’t just coach — he builds systems with you and spots weaknesses in your business before they become painful problems. Each week he sets a tone for progress that actually feels manageable, not overwhelming.”
– Lacey Hall
Â
“When I first started working with Derek, I had one main goal: double sales in 6-9 months. I was not sure if he was the ideal choice, because most of his clientele were in real estate. Boy, was I wrong, His abilities know no boundaries!”
