Build Your Thoughtfully Fit® Core for Resilience and Results

Discover the Thoughtfully Fit® model that helped Darcy climb her own Mount Crisis – and how it can help leaders and teams clear their hurdles.

Are you ready for the next curveball life throws your way? The reality is: life is filled with challenges, change, and uncertainty.

The highest-performing leaders and teams train to clear these hurdles so they have the resilience to get results – despite the obstacles.

You can’t control what happens to you, but you can control what you do next. That’s what Darcy learned first-hand when her life fell apart in the most shocking way. Drawing on her harrowing personal journey and decades of coaching across 48 different industries, Darcy reveals three powerful steps you can use immediately to clear the hurdles standing in your way of peak performance. So you get results, instead of regrets!

What Event Planners Are Saying About Darcy’s Keynotes

Brian Borkovec
Brian Borkovec
Director of Human Resources & Operations, Destination Madison

Darcy’s keynote was very engaging, very interactive and allowed for initial and continued discussions about improving team management within our organization. We are excited to put some of her insights into practice and look forward to seeing the effects of having shared language among managers on how we can better engage with our team.

Laura Ellingson
State Program Manager, State Department of Administration; Bureau of State Risk Management

Darcy is a gifted presenter who immediately grabs the attention of the audience and is able to keep people glued to her message.

Her story and message resonate with every level of employee within a company, of any age. She is able to skillfully weave her devastating personal life event into relaying the tools we can all use to deal with our life challenges, both personally and professionally. She herself used these tools to help her overcome her own personal tremendous challenge. Many attendees, including myself, will testify Darcy’s presentation was life-changing.

Andrea Kittleson
Security Awareness & Communications Manager, Rockwell Automation

The audience immediately is captivated from Darcy’s very first sentence! She’s approachable, authentic, and passionate, and gave us skills we can implement immediately! RUN don’t WALK in booking Darcy! She’ll blow your audience away and keep them talking well beyond the event. It’s truly the gift that keeps on giving.


Dana Hoffman
Vice President, Commercial Lending, Summit Credit Union

It’s a rare person who profoundly connects with their audience and teaches practical lessons in less than 30 minutes, yet Darcy Luoma readily accomplished both.

Darcy graciously agreed to speak about resilience at our women’s business forum. She shared personal challenges she’d faced, what she learned from them, and how we can pause, think, and act to address our own difficulties. As a result, our audience asked thoughtful questions and we all learned practical tips. Darcy’s presentation resonated deeply, and it was one of the very best we’ve ever heard.

Ryan Browne
Event, Onboarding & Logistics Coordinator, Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Institute

The presentation — from slides to handouts to exercises to content — was of the highest quality.

I loved everything about the experience from top to bottom: the first interview, Darcy, and the presentation materials. I’d recommend without hesitation that any group work with Darcy for as many minutes and for as many sessions as they possibly can.

Sally Torres
Training Manager, Frontier Community Credit Union

This was one of the best keynote speakers I have heard.
Her experience, energy, and delivery was engaging, real, and comfortable.

Kristy Schafer
Learning & Development Specialist, JF Ahern

This was by far the easiest, stress-free process for hiring a keynote speaker I’ve ever had. I really liked that I didn’t have to worry about anything. DLCC made us feel important.
