I speak to people interested in creating authentically powerful lives + careers

"'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

on stage

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 groups

Group Fire Starter Sessions can happen live or as a teleseminar. Got the mojo, but need the game plan? Have the strategy but need the emotional clarity? From start-ups to established CEO's who want to up their game, this is a special opportunity to get strategically inspired and informed. 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.

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

“It’s hard to find the words that best describe our morning with you, Danielle. Insightful? Powerful? Real? What a way to start off our conference! Your name came up all weekend long. 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. I've felt it as I've read your posts, I've felt it as I've coached with you, and I felt it as you spoke to our audience at our Startup Princess retreat in Sundance, Utah. You're is 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!"
-Kelly King Anderson, Founder of Startup Princess

“You gave our group the shot in the arm that they needed. Every woman in the room heard a piece of themselves in your story - very inspiring.”
- Melody Biringer, Founder of The Crave Company, Seattle

"You were brilliant. On behalf of all of us, thank you for the inspiring, empowering and personalized message. You gave us all a lot to think about."
- Amber Sessions, Travel Media Association of Canada, BC Chapter

The Globe & Mail, by Amy Verner
“Anyone who thinks that beauty is only skin deep would be wise to read Style Statement.”

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.”

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...”

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.”

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.’”

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."
