Workshops & Training

Donna Marie Post will guide your team through the immersive workshop:

“Transformative Public Speaking: Harnessing Curiosity to Activate Action”

Curiosity and public speaking go hand in hand - activating curiosity in your content, your delivery, and within your audience, activates action. Curiosity fuels a speaker’s ability to engage, connect, impact, and transform your audience from passive listeners to activators.   

Transformative Public Speaking goes beyond traditional techniques. This immersive workshop will help you harness curiosity as a catalyst for meaningful connection, engagement, and action. Through interactive exercises, storytelling strategies, and mindset shifts, you’ll learn how to engage your audience, activate change, and deliver messages with confidence and purpose.

Whether you're a seasoned professional speaker or just starting out, this workshop will equip you with the tools to speak with authenticity, conviction, and lasting influence. Designed for leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and change-makers, this session will help you step into your power, spark curiosity, and transform your communication into a force for action.

Donna Marie provides personalized one-on-one and small group leadership communication training to help executives and leaders communicate with clarity, influence, and impact. To learn more about custom training programs, please contact: keynotecurator@gmail.com.
