For over 30 years, Darci has been speaking and sharing her belief that each of us can hold a magnifying glass in front of our lives and choose to either focus on the 90% we can control, the positive and beneficial, or focus on the 10% we can’t control, those things and people that bother us and drag us down.
Darci’s first best-selling book, Focus on the 90%: One Simple Tool to Change the Way You View Your Life, is the first in a four-book 90% philosophy series that helps you focus, live, lead, and embrace your life journey to the fullest. This one simple concept continues to keep her upright and grounded and has proven to be a life-changer, which she has shared with tens of thousands.
Darci’s third book, Lead the 90%, is a motivational call to view leadership through a lens of positivity, compassion, and legacy. With a focus on kind leadership, Darci’s approach resonates deeply with women who lead not just with strategy, but with heart. Her philosophy empowers women to rewire their mindset, foster environments of acceptance, and leave behind a legacy that inspires future generations to lead with grace and strength.
As a speaker, Darci’s presentation takes a “my life is my message” approach. Pulling experiences from early years of trauma to starting, owning, and operating three different companies by the age of 24, Darci became an award-winning entrepreneur. She helps companies and organizations face tough challenges head-on. She also helps them transform cultures and perspective shifts, boosting morale and profitability. Darci’s entertaining and powerful message has won her a spot on the 40 Canadian Association of Professional Speakers Hall of Fame recipient list.
