Darci Lang has been invited to speak to numerous government departments, conferences, staff functions and development days. She shares an easy to apply message that relates to all. The message is simple; you have a choice when it comes to your attitude, professionally and personally. The choices you make effect yourself and your team.

A positive attitude is the foundation of Darci’s success. Darci Lang has owned and operated three separate companies,worked with others and managed many different people. As owner of X-L Enterprises and past owner of the award winning Mallabar Tuxedo Rentals in Regina, Darci Lang understands that working effectively within an area or unit requires you to work on yourself first.

As the demand increased for Darci to tell her personal story of turning business into success she turned to professional speaking and training – her third business endeavor. She then started to share her “Focusing on the 90%” message and others wanted to hear about her life story as well. She has been speaking and training for over 17 years. Darci is proud to call Regina home. She is wife to Darren and mom to Jayda and John.

Her dedication and entrepreneurial skill have paid off. She is now a Best Selling author with her book “Focus on the 90%”. One simple tool to change the way you view your life.” Darci has won The Saskatchewan Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award and an Achieving Business Excellence (ABEX) Award. She was a finalist in the Canadian Woman of the Year Award and a three-time nominee for the nationally recognized Entrepreneur and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.

She is truly someone who walks the talk.

• Focus on the 90%

Darci will ask one simple question throughout her humorous and thought-provoking presentation. Where do you focus your magnifying glass, on the 90% that is positive in your life or the 10% that is not?

How do you know where your focus is?
• What do you say about your job on the coffee break and at the end of the day?
• How do you interact with the 90% and the 10% at work?
• How do you feel about "serving" clients all day?
• How do you feel about yourself?
• What do you give to your family at the end of the day? Your 90% or your 10%?

The Presentation
Darci will challenge the audience with the fact that we do have a choice in how we view our lives. This idea of seeing the positives in their lives is something that we all know works. We know we should do it more but the ultimate challenge is … are we doing it? And if we aren't, how can we start to see our lives in a more positive way?

Each audience member receives their own magnifying glass and a strong reminder that life is short and only they can choose how they live their life.

The Proof
“Each of us emerged from that connection motivated to make a positive change in our personal lives, in our workplace, and for our clients.”
Don Hawes, CEO Vanguard Credit Union

“Darci is extremely upbeat and easy going, and we received such positive feedback, not even one 10%, that we are pleased to be offering another session with her in the fall of this year.”

• Motivating Others

• Customer Service

"The response to Darci's presentation at our staff meeting was extremely positive and although I am not surprised, I am a bit awestruck by the level of emotion expressed in the event evaluations and the deep value people took away from her message. Without a doubt, Darci is motivational - she is also a no nonsense Reality-Check Task Master!"
Jennifer Redston, Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment

"I cannot tell you how many people have positively commented on your presentation or how many times I've raved about it to others and it's only 3:15 the day after! You are a living example, for me, of what I need to change and even how I can start off with my 'time' outside of the house to gain my 90% and leave my 10% outside of those doors!  I truly thank you for making a difference."
Valerie Lukash, Sasktel

"Darci Lang’s message was warmly accepted and heard by our group. In the days and weeks since then, I notice that people still have their magnifying glass at their desks, and I often hear a reminder to focus on the 90%..........both of these proof that the message was important enough to remember and ‘own’, and delivered expertly! I encourage other work groups or really, any group, to take the opportunity to listen and learn from Darci!"
John Boyle, FCC

"In today's turbulent world Darci's message "Focusing on the 90%" was the perfect summary to end our conference wrapping it up in a neat bow. Her ability to personally connect with each of our delegates kept them on the edge of their seats and wanting more. She filled them up giving them energy to take back to their work and families."
Paul and Brian, Western Cities Conference

“Darci Lang’s message was extremely well received by the staff of the Saskatoon Health Region. Darci’s pre-work in learning what our issues were ( what she calls “ground truth”) helped her customize the message to our audience.  In addition, the concepts in the message “ Focus on the 90%” aligned and supported our current cultural transformation initiatives which are centered around how we live out the organization values in every interaction. We would like to have her expose her message to more staff and are planning to bring her back soon for additional sessions.”
Betty Mutwiri, M.A, Manager, Learning & Leadership, Saskatoon Health Region

"Feedback has been excellent, with many saying it was the best Teamwork Day by far. I just wish we could have booked you for two days instead of the one so we could have more time with you – Markham loves you!"
Town of Markham

“You inspired and motivated many of our future leaders in this Department and the federal government and I believe that by leading with this principle, we can cultivate a strong and committed workforce within the department to drive our future initiatives forward.”
Robert S. Walker, National Defence Managers’ Network
