What separates effective coaching from surface-level advice? In episode 237 of Commercial Real Estate Leadership, Darren Krakowiak continues being interviewed by Rex Afrasiabi and Chanell McAsey on The Real Estate Renovators, pulling back the curtain on the methods and mindsets that deliver results for his clients.

Unlike many coaches who focus on one discipline, Darren blends leadership development, business strategy, sales performance, and mindset coaching within a framework built specifically for commercial real estate principals. This industry focus, with a blend of pure coaching with practical advice, means his clients skip the explanations for their coach and move straight into solutions for their business.

He explains why delegation is a leadership superpower, how the function funnel helps principals and agents to free up time, and why shifting beliefs is often the key to unlocking growth. Darren also shares client success stories that prove what’s possible with the right mix of accountability, perspective, and strategy.

You’ll discover:
🔹 Why CRE-specific coaching drives faster results
🔹 How the function funnel creates more capacity in business
🔹 The mindset shifts principals must make to scale
🔹 Real examples of how clients have transformed their results

If you want a clearer picture of what business coaching looks like in practice, this episode gives you the inside view.
