Bets Danko

I am a high energy presenter who delivers on point. I like to show up, make friends, deliver exactly what is promised, and leave people seriously motivated. Your event should be as stress-free as possible...and I am here to help support that goal!

I am all about keeping people engaged and delivering the program that motivates. As an individual speaker, I can deliver 1 hour keynote presentations, 1/2 day presentations for companies and/or groups, or weekend retreats (complete with drum circles, journaling, and breakout group activities).

I adapt my presentations to serve the team/group I am speaking to, so topics can be adjusted to fit your needs. (An overview of my speaking topics are below. )

I prefer to have a discovery call prior to an event so I am sure to hit the topics which the organizers wish to hear about. Let's make this fit the experience you wish to give your team, right?
I collect information from your team/group during presentations so we can jump on a call after the event and share our thoughts.

Depending on the structure of the event, I may show up with one assistant who can answer questions on my behalf. If the event is a weekend retreat, I will bring up to two additional people to assist with the presentations.

Equipment will depend on the group size, the type of presentation you request, and the length of the event. A Keynote can be done with just a mic and speakers and can also include slides/video if available (and if you choose that option).
Any event including drumming (a fabulous team-building activity), depending on the size of the group, may require the rental of drums.
I can incorporate singing into the presentation. This would require a vocal mic and a speaker system which can handle the intonation of a soprano singer.

With more than 20 years experience in the entertainment and advertising industries, Bets' background gives her the unique ability to encourage people to increase motivation and productivity in all aspects of life through self awareness, clarity on goals and how to achieve them, accessible tools for motivation, and acknowledgement of the qualities that make them capable of achieving more.



Bets' background includes the restructuring and financial tracking of post production advertising companies, working directly with company owners, employees, and clients to create cohesive systems. In creating strategies to strengthen the business model, she understood the motivation of employees was the key to molding a successful company. By celebrating their ability to deliver on point when they felt motivated, providing that motivation, and supporting job description changes to help employees flourish, employee morale increased and company productivity went through the roof. When people understand their value they empower themselves and those around them. Plain and simple.

As a Team Builder, Motivational Keynote Speaker and Retreat Organizer, her presentations focus on supporting the mind, emotions, spirit, and physical body simultaneously to create a true state of self awareness, trust, and outward productivity.

 Bets has been called to speak about Courage, Motivation Techniques, Personal Development, Finding Clarity Among Chaos, Tickling The Vagus Nerve (A Journey Into The Benefits of Sound), and Living An Empowered Life.

I can work in almost any environment. I have no specific requirement for lighting or staging unless you request that I sing during the presentation. I prefer to see the audience during musical performances.
I do request that the venue have air conditioning or fans if inside or that the area where I am speaking be covered - blocking direct sunlight.
