Through our work with Jill, we’ve gained valuable tools and strategies that have deepened our self-awareness and improved our decision-making. She brings a powerful combination of experience, insight, and accountability, creating a brave space for honest reflection and meaningful growth.
Our team has been deeply impacted and inspired to lead with greater purpose and effectiveness.

Wow!! You’ll not be disappointed! If you have some bad habits as a team, you cannot afford to skip the opportunity to partner with Darcy Luoma Coaching & Consulting. If you’re more like us where we’re doing fine, you have to engage DLCC to take your team to the next level!

Understanding each other can make working together SO much easier! I already feel like a better communicator, better manager (focused on team growth, not just making things “easy”), and a better teammate thanks to our work with Darcy Luoma Coaching & Consulting.

The coaching experience for me was a tremendous opportunity to learn about myself and grow in the manner and at the pace that met my needs. Jill brought so much to our relationship. Her questions caused me to think and provided different perspectives. She was always present with me with empathy, and she challenged me. Her listening is extraordinary! I could not imagine a better fit, coach and person. I highly recommend Jill to anyone who wants coaching.

Mike brought his strategic and executive experience to our coaching discussions, allowing me to build my confidence, form my own leadership approach and achieve my goals in my new executive role.

It has honestly changed my career and how I view relationships and connections in my personal and professional life. This experience and work that we have done is so valuable and can be used almost anywhere, in any situation, with anyone. It’s worth every penny and ROI is infinite with the time, work, and commitment you put into it.

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.

Darcy Luoma Coaching & Consulting provides a professional experience and you’ll be well taken care of!
The presentation was very engaging. Our trainer utilized a nice variety of teaching tools to engage our adult learners. The greatest benefit was having a framework to utilize internally and a common language we can use as we continue to work to overcome obstacles.

Love love love working with DLCC!! Amy was amazing from start to finish. Darcy’s presentation was everything we hoped for – our attendees were blown away!

Darcy was excellent! She was so genuine. She was easy to work with and her presentation went over so well! Everyone loved her. A few people have already asked for her contact info so they can book her for their events.

#PowerattheTower was beyond lucky to have Darcy speak at our event. Almost a year later, we continue talking about things we learned, things we’ve implemented, and ways we’ve become better. If you’re thinking about having her speak at your event, do it. Now! Total game changer!

Darcy is absolutely amazing! I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Darcy and her team for the past four years to do corporate training with her Thoughtfully Fit program. It was a hit!

Employees enjoyed the four-part series which helped them increase emotional intelligence, improve workplace communication, raise self-awareness (and system/team awareness), and deal with conflict in a healthy way. The tools she teaches throughout the program can be used immediately in the work setting!

I’ve learned valuable tools to become emotionally intelligent! The critical Thoughtfully Fit core of Pause/Think/Act has changed the way I interact with colleagues and family which has made a significant impact on the conversation.

In addition, understanding how to have a balanced conversation is critical in choosing how to interact in a positive way that promotes healthy relationships.

Darcy gets us. She has the ability to feel the culture of an organization & bend her approach to fit the personality and objectives of the group. The result for our team-building focused strategy session was a grand slam. She led us through a series of thought-provoking exercises that exposed opportunities to get our team more closely aligned. On a personal coaching level, Darcy has the intuition & experience to ask the right question at the right time. She makes you think, helps you ask the right questions of yourself & gives you the tools to help steer you to a plan to realize both your work & personal goals.

Truly can’t say enough about what a great coach/facilitator/person she is!

Hands down, Darcy is one of the top consultants I have worked with over the last ten years. She played a key role during a turning point in our organization that has resulted in a higher level of trust and improved communications amongst our leadership team. Her approach of individual interviews followed by a group retreat tailored to unique issues and personalities was just what we needed. Thanks, Darcy! We owe you one!

It’s a rare person who profoundly connects with their audience and teaches some practical lessons in less than 30 minutes, yet Darcy Luoma readily accomplished both. Darcy graciously agreed to speak about resilience to our women’s business forum via a new online platform. She shared personal challenges she had 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 some practical tips. Darcy’s presentation resonated deeply and it was one of the very best we’ve ever heard. I’m pleased to give Darcy my highest recommendation.

Darcy coached me through several transitions in my personal and professional life beginning when I was an intern in Senator Kohl’s office. Since that time, Darcy has helped me build my career from intern to campaign fundraiser to scheduler for a busy Governor to working for the President of the United States.

Darcy provides a variety of strategies which have helped me build my career and balance my life. Her coaching has been invaluable.

I would recommend Darcy’s coaching for anyone who is:

• Deciding on a new job or negotiating for a raise
• Attempting to define and achieve personal or professional goals
• Looking to go “from good to great”

Darcy’s education, experience and attitude make her a role model and great coach. I feel lucky to have worked with her and have greatly benefited from her expertise.

I have had the pleasure of watching Darcy speak on numerous topics. She is a dynamic and engaging speaker who keeps the attention of the audience from start to finish. Our young professionals group, CONNECT Madison, had the opportunity to have Darcy as a speaker in December 2013 and she definitely did not disappoint. She had a tailored presentation that perfectly matched the needs of our audience. She was incredibly easy to work with and was one of our highest rated presenters by our members. She had a great mix of personal examples and actionable takeaways. I would recommend Darcy to any group who is looking to “wow” their audience!

Darcy offered to provide executive coaching to our WWIG executive committee designed to help us grow as a leadership team. Darcy was thoroughly prepared for each coaching session which helped provide a roadmap of what we would focus on for each session and what we had accomplished in past sessions. In leading our team through the coaching process Darcy helped create a safe environment where our team members could be honest, thoughtful, and reflective on how to grow and improve as a leadership unit. Darcy leads with the utmost integrity, honesty, and provides true guidance to the leadership team she is coaching while allowing that team to learn how to step into bold decision-making. Any leadership team looking to engage in self-reflection and evaluation of their current leadership style should consider hiring Darcy as an executive coach to lead them through that process.

Darcy is a master coach and teacher. She is also a dynamic speaker. Her zest for life and desire for others to have a fulfilling life come through in her speaking, coaching and teaching. Darcy’s own love for learning and growth keep her in the pulse of change and development. Who better to support you on your journey of growth? I have enjoyed working side by side with Darcy, creating, teaching and continuing to learn from each other. If you want impact and support on your journey I highly recommend Darcy Luoma.

Working with Sharon has been the greatest investment in myself and in my business. Coaching helped guide me through a swell of transitions in my life and helped me re-ground in my own sense of worth, belonging and accomplishment.  I’ve rekindled a sense of purpose and growth in my career and I’ve found ways to prioritize the things that are most meaningful and fulfilling for me. I look forward to sessions with Sharon and have highly recommended her to my closest friends and colleagues.

Vice President of Operations, Power System Engineering 

I owe deep gratitude to Jill, with DLCC, for her thoughtful approach when coaching me through a difficult chapter in my career where a cherished friendship evolved into professional relationship. As friends and co-workers, deep misunderstandings had created tension, driving a wedge between us and making collaboration almost impossible. Jill’s expert coaching and guidance helped us navigate a highly emotional situation, breaking the ice, and finding effective ways for us to communicate and rebuild trust. Today, three years later, we are a true partnership – one built on creating a safe, honest, and respectful working environment where we can lean on each other’s strengths, acknowledge our misgivings with respect, and press forward with empathy and kindness. I highly recommend DLCC for anyone facing workplace relationship challenges that also touches matters of the heart.

Darcy brings valuable knowledge and contagious enthusiasm during every presentation.

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.

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.

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

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.

Once I met Darcy, I knew she was the company we wanted to work with. She’s unified our team and created practices for our managers to use on a regular basis. The Darcy Luoma team is super responsive and fantastic to work with. I love every time I get to connect with their team.

Darcy has been instrumental in helping me define my long-term goals as well as be more thoughtful on important work matters.
She has a unique talent to quickly identify the most important things and challenges you to be specific and work on them

It didn’t feel like a workshop of any kind. I’ll sometimes zone during these types of things, but Nancy kept me engaged and interested as she kept us all involved! I’m constantly thinking of my thoughts as to whether I’m stewing or squirreling and what needs to be set aside and focused on more! Don’t hesitate to schedule!

Their approach to conflict and team toxins is unique. They help move individuals and groups through the recognition of problems to having tools to help navigate future conflicts.

The advanced preparation that includes pre-meeting interviews, highly detailed materials, and thoughtfully designed agendas allows for a very successful engagement and very happy clients. The services went beyond my expectations and I’d absolutely work with Darcy Luoma Coaching & Consulting again and will happily serve as a reference for other prospective clients.

Our facilitator, Jill, provided a safe and constructive space for addressing the proverbial “elephant in the room.” She skillfully equipped our team with common language, helping to foster a more open and collaborative work environment.
