Indianapolis EmPower Breakfast

September 9 at 7:00 AM

25 years of bringing people together!

Why We Are Different

Focused on You: From Featured Speakers to table conversations, many people have a chance to speak at an emPower Breakfast. Experts, Sponsors, regular attendees ... and You! We try to give everyone a chance to share their stories...

An Intimate Event: We aren’t looking for hundreds to attend - our events feel like you could meet everyone if you tried.

Non-commercial: The emPower Breakfast does not promote any specific product, the presentations are not sales pitches. Our monthly event is non-membership and public; focused on fun and relationship building.

We finish on time: We pace our event quickly, so there’s never a dull moment!

Featured Speaker

Darla Hall

Brand You-Score a Touchdown with Branding, Sales, Productivity

Darla Hall, widely known as “QB Darla,” is a dynamic motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and author whose journey from small-town Indiana to national impact is both inspiring and heartwarming. Hailing from Cloverdale, Indiana, Darla’s early life was shaped by strong family values and a deep-rooted sense of community. In 2012, a life-changing event propelled Darla into entrepreneurship. After a young boy named Miles was struck by a car, Darla sought the perfect gift to uplift his spirits during recovery. Unable to find a suitable option, she took matters into her own hands, creating the first-ever teamthemed activity book. This heartfelt gesture marked the inception of “In the Sports Zone,” a company dedicated to producing engaging activity books for children. Over the years, Darla expanded her offerings to include over 200 sports teams and donated over 50,000 books to hospitalized children nationwide. Beyond her entrepreneurial pursuits, Darla serves as Market Manager at Frontdoor, where she continues to build meaningful relationships and drive positive change. As a motivational speaker, QB Darla captivates audiences with her authenticity and passion. Her talks emphasize the importance of maintaining a positive mindset, striving for balance, and embracing one’s unique journey. Drawing from personal experiences and challenges, she encourages individuals to “throw a touchdown” in their own lives, symbolizing the pursuit of personal and professional goals. Darla’s literary contributions further reflect her commitment to empowerment and education. Her works include a range of Witty & Friends activity books for children and “Matters of a Positive Mindset,” a workbook that helps adults with personal development and resilience. In all her endeavors, QB Darla remains dedicated to making a difference, one interaction at a time. She is a proud mom of three sons, Collin, Gavin, and Rian. Her story serves as a testament to the impact of compassion, creativity, and unwavering determination. Hall hosts her own networking events called Beast Mode Business Huddles. The next dates are August 27th and November 19th from 11-2. Follow her on socials to learn more.

SPEAKER

Speak at the emPower breakfast

Promote Your Business to a Wider Audience

There are two options for speaking at an emPower Breakfast event:

Featured Speakers

Being a featured speaker provided the business or individual to shine for 15 minutes. You want to follow similar guidelines as a 3-minute speaker. You need to make sure you provide good information that is relevant to most attendees on a topic that you are a thought leader on. Here you can bring a presentation and use the A/V system.

NOTE: Filling out the form places you into the queue to be a speaker. You will be notified of the month and day when you will be assigned. Use the Message field to make any special requests: Month, AV, etc.

Share Your Business With a 3-Minute Presentation At No Cost

Each month, there are opportunities to tell the group a little more about yourself by doing a 3-minute presentation on you and your business.

This is more than just an elevator speech – it’s an opportunity to share more information about who you are, what you do, and how you can help any of the people attending the emPower Breakfast.
