Check out my reel, bio and speaking assets to see how we can work together to bring some fun and energy to your next event!
Keynotes tailored to your audience:
Speaking Topics
Sell Like an Artist
Dena’s travels have taken her from the Miss America Stage to the United Nations, Chardonnay, France to co-hosting with Anderson Cooper. Her “Sell Like an Artist” approach focuses on practicing your craft and trusting the creative process. Her comedic and insightful stories will motivate your team to think like artists, trust the process, and create new and exciting opportunities for growth.
That’s What She Said
What if there was a place to “practice” Public Speaking? What if instead of focusing on saying the right things, the focus was using skill sets found in the arts to practice being in the moment, making mistakes and having fun. Dena’s Weekly Virtual Open Mic is a hit with women across the country who want to find a community of women who want to speak out and speak up for themselves.
Advocate Like a Mother
Dena’s inspiring journey to learn her daughter, Brooke’s “beautiful brain” is a heartfelt and comedic tale of advocating for her daughter through IEP meetings to crying in a CVS parking lot. Her Facebook LIVE video struck a chord with educators around the world and is used in educational programs to help instruct teachers about the unique struggles of parents raising kids who learn differently.
I’m Not Sweet….Starting Over at 50
Resilience and bravery are the hallmarks of starting over. But what happens when your dad dies, you’re divorce, empty nested, menopausal, on hormone therapy and on the same dating app as your mom and kids? Dena’s hilarious and heartfelt stories of starting over are sure to leave your audiences inspired and ready to make some big personal changes!
Lead with your Funny Bone
Looking to connect with your audience in a more authentic way? What would happen if you lead with your Funny Bone? Dena’s social media presence, her Board Game “Chardonnay Go”, Adult Field Trips, Merchandise and daily Facebook Morning Shows exemplify how personality can drive sales through connection. She reveals how she reaches and engages with her audience through videos, open mics and her stand-up through her company, “One Funny Mother”.
