My Most Popular Keynotes, Workshops and Trainings- Call for Speakers

Darlene Hawley

I'm looking for connections to conferences, associations, non-profits, and organizations with rising leadership programs or sales groups who need workshop facilitators, leadership keynote speakers, and/or coaching experiences for themselves or their teams. (Call for speakers)

Today I got to speak to an amazing group of women in a mastermind all about how to unleash your authentic voice. 

As they practiced using their voice and speaking up sharing what they were passionate about during the role plays their faces lit up and my heart started racing I leaned back and was reminded of just how transformational and vital these types of experiences are and how great I am at leading them.

So friends I am coming to you to ask who you might know that you can connect me with to fill the rest of my speaking slots for 2022 and into 2023.

I'm looking for connections to conferences, associations, non-profits, and organizations with rising leadership programs or sales groups who need workshop facilitators, leadership keynote speakers, and/or coaching experiences for themselves or their teams.
