Meet Derek

Founder of ARETELife | Coach | Speaker | Author

For more than 17 years, Derek Schenck has helped entrepreneurs, business owners, sales professionals, and leaders close the gap between knowing what to do and consistently doing it. Through more than 30,000 coaching conversations and 500+ live presentations across the United States and Canada, he has discovered that lasting success rarely comes from working harder—it comes from living with greater clarity, discipline, and intentionality.

The ARETELife is the culmination of those conversations, lessons, and real-world experiences. Rather than offering temporary motivation, Derek provides a practical framework for building a life aligned with your purpose, values, and highest potential. His coaching and teaching are known for being direct, practical, and deeply encouraging—challenging people to raise their standards, take ownership, and create meaningful, lasting change.
