Testimonials

The experience with Darrah was exceptional from end--to-end. It began with her investing pre-event time and a genuine interest in understanding our business and what we wanted to draw from her session. She then applied that with strong content and effective delivery, paired with approachability and relatability that ensured our full team's engagement. I know that different members of our team experienced personal impact from different elements of what Darrah shared with us, and I have no doubt we'll all be better for it from both a personal and professional standpoint.
– Brad Lochman, Chief Sales Officer, QGenda
Through a seminar on networking, Darrah brought numerous and invaluable tips and strategies for building my teams network. What was most impactful, however, was Darrah’s presence. She was able to bring her unique character along with her lived out stories and successes to inspire many on our team to believe they, too, can accomplish their goals in network building. Grateful for your investment in our team, Darrah!
– Nick Johnson, Regional Manager, Intervarsity
Darrah spoke on “Designing and Sustaining Networks of Purpose” addressing over 100 professionals and lay leaders who work with the Diller Teen Fellows program. She was a pleasure to work with in the preparation, and was well received by the conference attendees.

Darrah was highly recommended by our partners to participate in the 2016 Dream Project Symposium, and truly exceeded our expectations. Her go-getter attitude and entrepreneurial background resonated very well with our millennial audience. As the conference coordinator, it was a pleasure working with Darrah and would definitely invite her back to speak. Working with Darrah made us feel like we gained a new trusted partner in our platform.
