The Alpha Mare: Women and Power
SUMMARY
As women we sometimes struggle with our own legitimate power.
Because we don’t want to be perceived as demanding or hard to please, we often hesitate to embrace a powerful role. Even the strongest women sometimes perceive power as being negative.
In our desire to be seen as fair and compassionate, we may give away our appropriate power, settle for someone else’s version of what we should or shouldn’t do, or behave as though we have no choice.
Using metaphors from the equine world, Darcie explores the issue of women and power. She inspires women to feel comfortable with power and use their power for the greater good of their employees, their families and their communities.

Be The Orchestra Conductor: Your Real Role as a Leader
SUMMARY
Think of your company as an orchestra. You are playing the violin, the trumpet, the clarinet and the drums (even the triangle!). But your real role as a business owner is to be the orchestra conductor.
As small business owners, we wear so many hats that it's really easy to lose track of our real role: leading the company.
If you want your company to grow, you need to learn what a conductor does and when she does it. That's the only way to get the best music from the entire orchestra.
Drawing on years of experience of working with hundreds of female business owners, Darcie will lead participants to understand the tools and the process to bring out the best in others, get effective execution and create a culture of accountability.
