About Don

For thirty-three years Don Darvill was an integral part of one of the most iconic companies in the world. At sixteen Don joined McDonald's Restaurants during the company's early days in Canada. Over the course of his career as a senior corporate manager and later as a private entrepreneur with three Mcdonald's Restaurants of his own, Don would undergo a significant transition in his leadership style. During his tenure as the Director of Training and Employee Development for Western Canada Don received the President's Award ' an honour that recognizes the extraordinary contributions of the top one percent of employees in the McDonald's organization worldwide.

Don is the author of The Entrepreneur's Apprentice, a roadmap for bosses on how to create an internal culture that capitalizes on the talents of the very people charged with building strong brand identity for the business. His book chronicles a critical time in his own career when a very unexpected diagnosis would change the course of his life in a very significant way, leading to the creation of Quadrant Leadership, a highly effective, results-driven tool for bosses in every industry and from all walks of life.

Don is a passionate teacher who loves to use his group workshops, online tutorials, and one-on-one consultations to help bosses acquire the necessary skills and insight to become the kind of leader everyone would love to work for.
