Darius Montague sees the value in bringing a more person-focused approach to the workplace. With 15 years of facilitation experience, he specializes in feedback, conflict resolution, and intercultural communication.
Before joining LifeLabs, Darius worked as an educator and facilitator in the USA, Spain, and Taiwan. His core mission is to facilitate transformative experiences that resonate with the values and goals of the client, and deliver highly engaging learning experiences that encourage discussion, practice, processing, and application. After sessions, Darius wants participants to walk away with an understanding that small changes and personal reflection are the strongest catalysts for positive change.
In the room, Darius is known for his personable approach and setting the stage to welcome all voices and encourage participants to be present with one another. No one is an empty vessel, and he wants the space to be filled with all voices and experiences. Outside of work, Darius loves painting, acting, and buying plants even though he doesn’t need more.
“Darius was really great at breaking down each of the topics and using really great examples. He is quick to apply playback, deblur, and other techniques to the workshop itself, and is effective at generating group participation.”
“Our facilitator, Darius, was really good — funny, sharp, engaging. I love how this training helps people build the skills they need to be not just better colleagues but better humans. Fantastic all around.”
