Personal Details

Bio

Darlene Gudrie Butts is an award winning speaker, best-selling author, sought-after copy-writer and national magazine columnist.

She created the Clarity Project because she was shocked by the number of entrepreneurs and business owners who had spent years and countless dollars on branding and marketing, yet couldn’t clearly articulate what they did, whom they best served, and why someone should choose them over the competition.

A self-professed word geek, she understands how to harness the power of words, end the rambling, and create memorable messaging that cuts through the noise and brings in clients.

  • I have had the pleasure of knowing Darlene since high school and can testify to the fact that she has the same energy level now as she did on the cheer leading team!! After reconnecting these past couple of years, I have read her works and taken part in her Author’s workshop. I am also looking forward to working with her thought the clarity project very soon. Her vision and inspirational ways are backed up with real experience….she lives what she teaches. She’s a gem.

  • The most important aspect of business is Clarity. It doesn’t matter how successful you are, being clear is the #1 asset you can have. As I have journeyed through the growth of my business in the last year, I’ve worked with Darlene on getting out of chaos, into clarity and landing (not always gently!) into Calm. It’s a cycle we all go through as we grow as business owners and as people. All I can say is: “Thank God I had Darlene in my corner, on my side, to keep me focused, centred and on track, and for all the copy she did for my website, sales pages, and email marketing campaigns.” This was a blow out year for me because of the work I do with Darlene!

  • If Intuition + Wisdom + Calm + Digging Deep to define who you are from inside-out in your business, that is Darlene in a nutshell. In the first 5 minutes of speaking with Darlene, she immediately had a strong sense of who I am, my personality, and was able to communicate what I do in such a succinct, clear way. Having her be able to put copy together for my videos and website helped me strengthen even more in communicating to others my sense of who I am and how I serve in this world. Thank you, Darlene!

  • Darlene is probably the single most valuable coach and friend I have relied on throughout the marketing and distribution journey for my books. Her support, her candid advice, and her wealth of knowledge have always served to encourage and inspire me to aim for the seemingly impossible. If you are determined to chase your dream, Darlene is the ultimate teacher and cheerleader to have in your corner.

  • From the first time I met Darlene it became apparent that she is someone who deeply cares about others and wants to help them succeed in life. She has always given me her full attention on any conversation we have had. I am very grateful to have worked with Darlene on my new business. Recently she helped me really outline the steps that I need to take to get my business off the ground. It would be impactful and beneficial to work with her one on one on a long term program. Thank you Darlene for you continued support and help.
