Speaking

Danielle Hawthorne is a dedicated speaker, executive leader, leadership transformation coach and consultant. She is the Co-Founder and CEO of Worthy of Dignity, a leadership coaching and consulting firm committed to transforming leadership from the inside out, focusing on empowering leaders to ground their identities in their inherent worth rather than external measures of performance and productivity.

Renowned for her dynamic speaking, Danielle possesses a remarkable gift for leaving a lasting impression on her audiences, extending far beyond the stage. She is celebrated for her ability to inspire and offer tangible, real-world guidance through captivating personal anecdotes, vulnerability, and practical solutions to life's complex challenges.

As a highly regarded thought leader in leadership and racial equity and diversity, Danielle has shared her profound insights with audiences and prestigious outlets such as Bloomberg and CBS News. She has also been featured as a distinguished guest on numerous podcasts, sharing her compelling story and expertise on subjects ranging from burnout and her spiritual journey to her passionate advocacy for the rights of women and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities.

As a former Pastor, Danielle understands the unique needs of those who long to be seen and known by God while living in a world that is constantly overlooking them. She has spent countless hours with women and families in the most vulnerable and intimate moments of their life. While pointing them to God, she has also experienced God’s healing, deliverance and restoration. Through her journey, Danielle humbly approaches each audience as a unique opportunity to not only point people to WHO God is, but to also reveal Him through her own life and testimony.

Danielle would be delighted to talk with you more about speaking at your event or retreat.
