For seekers, creatives, mavens, entrepreneurs ... for the lost, the found ... the established or those at the beginning of a dream, we explore:

Using your core desired feelings as your strategic drivers.
Respecting your own genius and limitations.
Getting real and righteous, so you can send the world a clear message about what you want, deserve, and have to offer.
Simplifying your goals so that the great stuff has room to show up.
Style as an intentional expression of values and essence.
Making presence your practice, and expanding, rather than constricting, to accommodate challenges.
Using your so-called contradictions as creative leverage.

I also speak about the strategic aspects of :

Authenticity-driven branding.
Building marketing platforms ... from guerrilla to top tier campaigns.
Every aspect of publishing - from big book deals to on-line revenue generation.
I especially love to do live jam sessions with entrepreneurs about their ideas and strategies, so interactive forums are fantastic experiences for everyone involved.

in-person group fire starter sessions

3 hours. My viewpoints, lots of questions, high inspiration and practicality.

How hosting works: my fee is $4000 per group + travel / accommodation. Suggested cost per person is $200, which means about 25 attendees would cover hosting costs. I’ve done groups in boardrooms, living rooms, backyards, and even a pole-dancing studio. It's a jam session-meets-lecture-meets tribal pow wow.

let's get this party started

EMAIL ME DIRECTLY ABOUT YOUR EVENT. Let me know about the nature and vision of your gathering, timing, and budget. We can work together to tailor something meaningful and engaging for your audience or group. I usually speak for one hour or ninety minute segments, and can bring in workshop components into a presentation or create a more in-depth experience.

"Thank you doesn't quite cover the gratitude I have for you and your magical, empowering and inspiring presence and presentation at The Business of Bliss Conference. You rocked the stage and the worlds of all who were in attendance."
- Kari Dunlop, Producer, The Business of Bliss Conference with Martha Beck, Peter Walsh, Candace Bushnell, Calgary

"Danielle was a guest speaker for our World-Changing Writing Workshop, and let me tell you, she brought down the house. Our students rated Danielle #1 out of all the speakers in the course. Why? I think it's a toss-up between her idealistic passion that fires you up with every word, and her concrete advice that you can put into practice immediately. I'd jump up and down with glee to have Danielle speak at any event I ever do in the future, even if it's on underwater basket weaving — I'm sure she'd find a way to share something amazing."
- Pace Smith, Co-leader, World-Changing Writing Workshop

"Inspirational, hilarious and incredibly refreshing, Vancouver’s Danielle LaPorte dishes out the White Hot Truth."
- Kelly Doody, Six In The City, The Calgary Sun

"The hour we spent with you was awesome. Inspiring, visionary, free of BS, and most of all REAL. Our entrepreneurs left the session a little stronger, a lot more confident, and massively inspired. On behalf of 85 Broads, thank you for getting the fire started. YOU ROCK."
- Diana Sonis, New York Chapter Leader, 85 Broads & Co-Founder, UnitConnect.com

You struck a chord with everyone there, and the feedback is a resounding, ‘More! We could have listened to her all day!’ Thank you so much for making our conference truly inspiring!”
- Monica de Wit, Merchandiser and Conference Coordinator, OptionElle, London, Ontario

"You know how to create an emotional connection with an audience regardless of the medium. You're the real deal. You truly know how to get to the core of what's important in life and business and how to teach others to create tangible results that resonates with what’s true for them. Our audience sat in silence for awhile after your presentation just soaking it up...deep and beautiful, strategic and focused. We can't wait to have you back!"

Danielle is a true inspiration and she held a room of 200 women enrapt for her two and a half hour seminar and her messages: “Being authentic is about breaking the rules (one of my personal favourites!)” “Embrace Your Contradictions”, “Truth comes quietly”, “Consistency builds momentum” and “Comparison Kills”. If you want to be your best and go from “good to great”, invite some Danielle in to Rock Your World!

"Within minutes of Danielle taking the stage, you could feel the energy of the room transform and the barriers come down. Danielle shared from the heart her experiences and insights to living an authentic & powerful life, and how that ultimately leads to business and financial success. It was truly empowering to hear a woman speak the whole (white hot) truth and with complete integrity. Positively fabulous!

“Anyone who thinks that beauty is only skin deep would be wise to read Style Statement.”

temp Body + Soul Magazine, by Terri Trespicio
“Style Statement...redefines the concept of style [and] argues that style is at the intersection of spirit and expression, that place between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.”

temp Domino Magazine, by Cynthia Kling
“My appointment finally rolls around. Danielle calls. "Where do you think style comes from?" I ask, before she gets started. "[I] think it comes from your heart," she says. Danielle's deep, gravelly voice intrigues me. She doesn't sound a bit shyster-y, just wise and peaceful. She begins by posing questions that get me thinking about the subject sideways ... through fantasy and emotion...”

temp Canadian Living, by Karen Kwinter
“Wouldn’t you love to have a style angel sitting on your shoulder as you make your way through life? That guidance is what style statement...offers.”

temp Vogue Australia, by Felicity Loughrey
“LaPorte...is sensitive about being labelled a brander. ‘[I] really want to make a distinction between a Style Statement and a brand. Branding is about packaging stuff. Usually it’s about packaging yourself so you appeal to the marketplace. A Style Statement is about evoking what’s genuine, what’s already there.’”

temp MORE Magazine, by Laurel Wellman
"We all want to belong, and we all want to be seen for who we are," says Danielle LaPorte. "Both are healthy, but you can't do one at the cost of the other."
