With a “my life is my message” approach\, she blends hard-earned wisdom from her early entrepreneurial success—launching three businesses by age 24—with humor\, authenticity\, and heart. She doesn’t just motivate; she transforms perspective. \nA member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers Hall of Fame\, Darci is as grounded as she is inspiring. Offstage\, she’s at home in Saskatchewan with her husband\, Darren\, where she recharges with family\, rescue pets\, and a steady stream of renovation projects.

Looking for a way to genuinely sell your services while delivering real value to your prospects? \n \nHost Your Own Event! \n \nIn 2017\, Mark set a goal: to create an event in his hometown that would bring top quality training and speaker to the Maritimes. The added bonus? He’d have one day on the calendar each year where he could generate substantial revenue without leaving home. This idea led to the creation of Level Up\, a one-day personal development conference. Nine editions later\, the conference has grown into a reliable revenue stream and a powerful platform for promoting coaching services. \n \nThis presentation will show you how simple it can be to launch your own event. Discover how to minimize risk and upfront costs while maximizing revenue. You’ll also learn to leverage a signature event to build your brand as a recognized expert and speaker. \n \nTakeaways: \n*Creating an event theme and ROI that is compelling \n*How to put butts in seats \n*How to secure speakers and sponsors for your event \n*3 Mistakes to avoid \n \nAbout Mark Black\, CSP \n \nMark Black is a Heart and Double-Lung Transplant Recipient – turned – 4- Time \nMarathon Runner. \n \nA resilience expert\, coach\, and author\, Mark helps people break through limitations \nand develop resilience so they can thrive through challenge and change. \n \nMark doesn’t just teach resilience\, he embodies it. Born with a life-threatening heart \ndefect\, Mark underwent two open-heart surgeries before the age of one.

His doctor informed him that his heart was \nfailing\, and without a rare and dangerous heart and double-lung transplant\, he would \nnot see his 25th birthday. \n \nIn 2002\, Mark was fortunate that a suitable donor was found. He not only survived \nthe surgery\, but less than 3 years later\, Mark became the only man in history to \nrun a marathon with someone else’s heart and lungs. Then he did it three more \ntimes. \n \nMark is a Certified Speaking Professional\, a designation held by less than 1500 \nspeakers in the world.

SUMMARY:How to Land a TEDx Talk & Spread Your Message to Millions In As Little As 30 Days...
DESCRIPTION:Do you know what separates the top 1% of entrepreneurs\, coaches\, and experts in the industry… from everyone else? \nAuthority.  \nAnd there is no quicker way to establish authority and credibility than to be seen speaking from the stage. \n(I’ve been speaking for years\, and it has been one of the most impactful things I’ve done to grow my coaching practice.) \nSo why don’t more people get on stages and start speaking? \nFrankly… most people don’t know how. \nAnd because I know just how powerful speaking can be to your career\, I went out in search of someone who is one of the best in the world at helping coaches and purpose-driven entrepreneurs take their expertise\, craft it into a compelling message\, and share it on stages. \n \nAnd it just so happens that this person is not only an expert at helping people turn their expertise into compelling\, viral-worthy talks… \nBut he and his team also help people land speeches on one of the most influential and widely-viewed stages in the world… TEDx. \nHis name is Taylor Conroy\, and his company Thought Leader has helped over 650 clients (and counting!) land TEDx talks and spread their message to millions of people. \n(In fact\, they guarantee it). \nHe’s broken this process down into a science (Taylor himself has spoken at TEDx 4 times)\, and I’ve convinced him to share his entire process with us LIVE on November 20th\, 2025\, at 7:00 PM ET. \nIf you’ve ever wanted to turn your expertise into a ready-to-share message from stages… \nOr you’ve ever wondered what it actually takes to be invited to speak at a TEDx stage… \nThis webinar is for you. \n \nQuestionnaire —  https://leadr.co/caps \nWe’re excited to learn more about you and your goals. Completing this short questionnaire helps us understand your objectives so we can ensure our time together is valuable and focused on you. \n  \nAbout Taylor Conroy \nTaylor Conroy is a meditating surfer obsessed with building businesses that make change. His first social enterprise\, Change Heroes\, mobilized people in 80 countries to fund and build  \n400 schools\, water projects\, libraries\, girls scholarships\, anti-sex trafficking work\, and more for 200\,000 people around the world. \nHe has lectured at Harvard\, Princeton\, NYU\, Cornell\, and the United Nations on the subject of social enterprise (How to make money while making profound impact in the world)\, and regularly presents to corporate audiences like Disney\, Pfizer\, Lululemon\, KPMG\, and Morgan Stanley\, as well as social good events with audiences of 10\,000+. \nTaylor has been a professional firefighter\, a real estate entrepreneur\, and a bodybuilder; he has studied with Zen monks in Japan\, run with the bulls in Spain\, has explored every continent on earth including Antarctica\, has surfed the longest wave in the world in Peru\, and has filmed mini-documentaries in the red light district of Cambodia to combat sex trafficking\, the Ecuadorian Amazon to catalyze microfinance\, and the jungles of Uganda as an activist for human rights. \nTaylor is the co-founder of Thought-Leader\, where he works with entrepreneurs\, professionals\, and change-makers to get their message out into the world by leveraging the power of speaking from the world’s biggest stages like TEDx. He has spoken on the TEDx stage 4 times and to date has helped over 550 people land TEDx talks of their own. \n  \n\n
