She takes the time not only to explain key concepts, but show them in action. She was able to introduce new topics and techniques to our audience that left them feeling inspired, rather than overwhelmed. I would absolutely recommend any kind of learning coming from Dana.

Dana is an engaging, energetic, and incredibly knowledgeable speaker! Her presentation makes you feel like you are sitting in the room with her.

natalie carns, sarkey's foundation

Dana came as a breakout speaker for the Southwest Regional Leadership Forum. She was a standout presenter and helped further Sarkeys Foundation’s mission in supporting nonprofits in Oklahoma.

Her expertise seamlessly blended insightful strategies with compelling anecdotes, leaving the audience inspired with actionable takeaways. 

floyd jones, givebutter

I loved how she leveled with our audience. Instead of speaking in terms that no one understood, she directly opened up her ads account and SHOWED us how to build an ad. She worked with us and was invested in our success. Dana is a dynamic, gifted speaker who provides insight and excitement. We can't wait to have her back!

Dana is a social media and digital marketing TITAN! Her points were timely, effective, and engaging.

Her interactive workshop helped session-goers learn how to analyze their audience and create purpose-driven content, yielding impactful results. Attendees provided positive feedback, saying that Dana was both knowledgeable and highly engaging. Dana was a pleasure to work with and comes highly recommended!

"Dana was a fantastic asset at the 2019 Dress for Success Affiliate Leadership Conference in Vancouver, Canada, where she shared her expertise in nonprofit digital strategies."

What I loved was the number and value of the tools she gave us right out of the gate. Her ideas were so amazing and inspired creativity around events that I haven't felt since Covid hit. AMAZING!”






“Dana's webinar was by far the most valuable webinar I've ever attended. In fact, I'd rate this above any Convention session I've ever attended."

JILLIAN HASNEr, PRESIDENT & CEO of TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN

She is clearly an expert in her field and easily conveyed her knowledge to even those of us that are less social media savvy. Positive Equation is an investment for any nonprofit, not an expense!”

My favorite thing to do!

Pick from one or more of the below topics to build a professional development series, keynote or workshop for your organization. Length can be customized.

Featured Workshops & Keynotes

Mission driven leaders are REALLY good at talking about their organization’s work. So good, in fact, that sometimes they lose sight of what makes them great and influential in their own right.

In this session, Dana will show the audience how to build meaningful connections within their communities by telling their own unique story. Because when you tell that story, they can take themselves – and their organizations – to new heights.

Dana will help your attendees step away from internal self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and comparison mentality so they can become the thought leader they deserve to be.
