"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 tradegy 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."

---Jeffrey Junkas, Director of Public Affairs, Midwest Region, American Insurance Association

---Lance Miller, 2005 World Champion of Public Speaking, Toastmasters International

"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."

---Douglas Carter, Sheriff, Hamilton County, Indiana

"You are such an inspiration. You and Bill Wishard are my role models."

---Judy Jones, wife of Parnelli Jones, who was the 1963 Indianapolis 500 winner

"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."

---David Degler, Former Executive Minister, East 91st Street Christian Church, Indianapolis, IN

"Darcy is an amazing woman, whose story and her ability to triumph over the odds inspired and motivated us.  Throughout her presentation, Darcy engages us and her willingness to field questions at the end of her speech was truly impressive.  Several of our members spoke to Darcy after the meeting to share with her how her story had touched them.  We would recommend your organization consider Darcy for your next event."

---Alita Burke, CPCU, CIC, President, Columbus Chapter of Property and Casualty Underwriters, Columbus, Ohio

"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." 

---Mike Chrysler, Insurance Institute of Indiana

---Dana Neer, Pastor of Community Outreach, Bible Baptist Church, Kokomo, Indiana

"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!"

---Dr. Carolee Jones, retired Ball State University Business Communications Professor

"Darcy's story is of tremendous promise, followed by tragedy and ultimate triumph.  Her recounting of the accident that took the lives of two dear friends and left her with a badly shattered body -- but an indomitable faith and spirit -- is truly inspirational to everyone who hears her.  God has a plan for us all and His role for Darcy is to use her talent as a communicator to spread a message of hope, promise and confidence to His people."

---Bob Moone, President and CEO, State Auto Insurance Company, 2000-2006

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."
