Keynote Speaking

Building moments that move minds and spark change.
Available for keynotes, leadership offsites, and curated talks tailored to your audience.

It can take just one sentence or idea, delivered at the right time and space, to ignite inspiration that permanently shifts a person—or a business.

At DAO, we design talks to deliver that moment.
Not just to inform. But to disrupt, reframe, and drive inspiration that interrupts mental autopilots and drive change that stays with you years later.

What Makes a DAO Talk Different

Our goal isn’t to inform—it’s to transform. Every talk is crafted to shake something awake in the room.

We design with four pillars in mind:

Sandra is an authentic, generous, and truly inspiring speaker. Her message resonated deeply, and I walked away reminded to be intentional and lead with purpose, to invest in myself because growth starts from within, and to have the courage to step outside my comfort zone—because that’s where transformation happens.
