Speaking

In addition to running my core business, I’ve been quietly building up my speaking portfolio. Some of my favorite topics are entrepreneurship, growing your business, communications strategy, and social media.

My style is personal, conversational, and inclusive. And I customize every presentation for the audience at hand.

Contact me about speaking.

Here’s what some people have said about my speaking skills:

“Daria led a fantastic session for MindFarm consultants on using social media to grow your business. Daria’s technical knowledge was spot-on and provided our consultants with tools they could use immediately.”
–Andrea Fuller, Mindfarm

“Daria knows the importance of telling a good story. As a speaker, she’s extremely engaging and would be a good addition to any conference seeking to educate businesspeople on how communications can shape customers’ perceptions and buying decisions.”
–John Taylor, Sprint Nextel
