About me

 I’m Darryl Harrington, founder of Creative Minds Rise. I am a motivational speaker and teacher of self-esteem.

My mission is personal. Every resource, every message, and every workshop you see here is created with one purpose in mind: That is to help teens/young adults build their self-esteem, confidence and believe in their potential.

My goal is to help underprivileged teenagers who lack confidence, struggle with self-doubt, and need support to build self-esteem and pursue their aspirations. 

#CreativeMindsRise is not just a hashtag. It’s a movement.

My work is shaped by real-life experience as a single father, motivational speaker, professor, and mentor. My perspective comes from being a single father, a career in IT, and working closely with teens who feel unseen. That journey fuels my passion to speak life into teens and give them the tools to rise above doubt.

My work in self-esteem is built on years of hands-on experience leading workshops, conferences, and webinars that motivate teens to take action and build confidence to make growth a #1 priority in their life.
