Daria Malin
Business Coach, Author, Speaker, Facilitator
Hi! I'm Daria Malin.
For over 25 years, I've supported entrepreneurs and professionals to navigate the sometimes overwhelming (and often unnecessarily complicated) world of marketing and sales.
I know! "How can she have done this for over 25 years when she is clearly still so young?" you ask. Oh, you're too kind!
My Journey
My journey started from a university grad in the Canadian prairies, cold calling from the Yellow Pages and fumbling through early sales calls. I quickly discovered that in the working world, sales skills aren't just theory, they're survival.
6×That realization, and building businesses up six times, all taught me resilience firsthand.
Three maternity leaves during my media sales years.
Founding Boost Strategic Coaching, which I've been building for the past decade.
Cofounding an international non-profit.
Accidentally starting a niche apparel company with a friend. Ask me about that sometime!
I knew there had to be an authentic way to "do sales."
So, I invested in learning from the best, dedicating myself to understanding what truly leads to long-term success.
My Mission
Now, I share what I've learned, what's worked for me, and what's worked for my clients. My mission is to support you in:
I'm here because I believe every professional who truly wants to serve has something valuable to offer, and the world needs to hear about you.

Hi! I’m Daria Malin.
For over 25 years, I’ve supported entrepreneurs and professionals to navigate the sometimes overwhelming (and often unnecessarily complicated) world of marketing and sales. (I know! "How can she have done this for over 25 years when she is clearly still so young?" you ask. Oh, you're too kind!)
My Journey: Resilience & Real-World Lessons
My journey started from a university grad in the Canadian prairies, cold calling from the Yellow Pages and fumbling through early sales calls. I quickly discovered that in the real world, sales skills aren't just theory—they're survival. That realization, and building businesses up six times—specifically: three maternity leaves during my media sales years, founding Boost Strategic Coaching which I've been building for the past decade, cofounding an international non-profit, and even accidentally starting a niche apparel company one night over wine with a friend (ask me about that sometime!)—all taught me resilience firsthand.
Along the way, I personally felt the frustration of:
Great work not translating into referrals.
My discomfort around "salesy" tactics.
The critical need for a strong personal brand and network.
I knew there had to be an authentic way to "do sales." So, I invested in learning from the best, dedicating myself to understanding what truly leads to long-term success.

Now, I share what I've learned, what's worked for me, and what's worked for my clients. My mission is to help you:
