"I began a series of Youth Forums within our community after the tragic and untimely deaths of 7 high school students in 11 months. The Forums are not about driving, but more importantly about life and the power of individual choice. Darcy attends every event, has a powerful message of the consequences of poor choices and continually interacts with the youth and parents of our community. I so appreciate Darcy and her efforts. She is the first to arrive and the last to leave. She always takes time to share her story and knows that if she has a positive affect on one person, her experience was not without purpose." "You are such an inspiration. You and Bill Wishard are my role models." "Darcy Keith is equally effective speaking with small groups and fielding questions as she is with larger groups of several hundred. I have had the opportunity to hear her testimony shared in a variety of circumstances, and she is always well received. I believe people are inspired to do more, trust more, believe more, and be more after hearing her story. She communicates in a spirit of hope and faith. Darcy's trust in and love for Jesus Christ is genuine and her desire to help others through her experience is sincere. I highly recommend Darcy's motivational and inspirational presentation to virtually any group or audience."
"You are an amazing person and doing great things." "When I was asked to address the graduating class at my old high school in 1997, I chose self-determination as my topic. You and another student were the subjects of my speech. I told the students that anyone could work hard and their rewards would come; but sometimes, obstacles are thrown in your way-and that is truly the measure of a person. You are surely one of my heroes!"
"Darcy Keith is an individual with multiple talents and unique life experiences. Darcy has successfully combined these two attributes as a motivational speaker who offers a powerful message. I've known Darcy for a number of years, and it is quite obvious to me that she is a highly ethical and professional individual who has a very important story to tell. I recommend her to your organization without qualification." " Darcy Keith recently shared her 'The Miracle Child' presentation at our Ladies Spring Banquet. Her tremendous story of faith, hope, strength, and perserverence touched all from high school girls to eighty year-old women. Darcy is an incredible communicator who challenged us through her words, photographs, and video to press on despite the trial or hardship. She is also a very warm, joy-filled person who easily connected with these women. I would highly recommend her to any church, organization, or school." "Your testimony was fantastic and right on the money." " Darcy is a stellar speaker with a message to tell. While speaking at the University of Indianapolis she not only touched every student listening in the classroom, but also inspired the staff with her story and presentation. Darcy is confident, trustworthy, and enthusiastic. It gives me great pleasure to recommend Darcy Keith as a speaker." "Darcy Keith was a blessing on my television show. I know that any venue or audience will be inspired by her gracious and wonderful testimony. I recommend her highly and applaud her sincerity to help people."
"Thank you for your great testimony." "I really enjoyed when you came to speak to our youth group at church. You are truly an inspiration to me. Sometimes it seems as if my troubles are tough to work through, and then I think of what you went through and life is so much easier. You have taught me that God will give me strength when I need it. Thank you so much for your guidance." 317-446-2698, Darcy@DarcyKeith.com

"I recently attended and spoke at the Central Ohio Insurance Education Day Committee's March seminar in Columbus and had the pleasure of hearing Ms. Darcy Keith's 'Survive and Thrive' presentation. To say it was good would be an understatement. In Ms. Keith's 'Survive and Thrive' address, the audience was treated to an emotionally moving personal story that takes the listener from tragedy to triumph and then helps impart some easy to understand methods for approaching challenges one may face in everyday life with a fresh perspective. I recommend Ms. Keith as a speaker for your event and am confident you'll enjoy her presentation as much as I and my fellow Insurance Day attendees did."

"Darcy Keith should appear before more legislative committee hearings. Many committee meetings involve vanilla testimony where neither side to an issue barely raise an eyebrow from legislators. However, when I was fortunate enough to hear Darcy speak this year, every eye in the room was on her listening to every word she was saying. She was inspiring through her personal story, but she was convincing through her convictions and common sense approach to injury prevention."
