Transforming Barriers into Bridges, One Conversation at a Time ? Center Stage: Kelly McDonald

At The Keynote Curators, we’re constantly curating fresh and exciting keynote speakers with ideas worth sharing. Today’s spotlight is on Kelly McDonald, considered one of the nation’s top experts in diversity and inclusion, leadership, sales and marketing to people “not like you,” the customer experience, and consumer trends.


? Did you know “how to” are the two most searched words online? People want to know how to do something and do it the best way possible.

? Influential speakers know precisely how to activate an audience and move them to action. And like search engine surfers, audiences want meaningful, digestible, actionable plans to accomplish a task, reach a goal, or start a new initiative.

? Kelly McDonald’s profound business and communication insights have served her clients for nearly two decades. As founder of McDonald Marketing and author of four bestselling business books, she excels at authentically connecting and communicating with others and teaching uncomplicated approaches to start and lead uncomfortable but essential conversations in the workplace.

?‍♀️ She’s been named one of the top 100 businesswomen to speak at events, has been featured on CNBC, CNNMoney, and SiriusXM Radio, and in Forbes, BusinessWeek, and Fast Company, and has won remarkable recognition from the National Speakers Association. Meeting planners with iconic brands such as Toyota, State Farm, Nike, Harley-Davidson, Miller-Coors, Sherwin-Williams, and NASA rave about and rebook Kelly because she offers a variety of different, timely, relevant business topics that consistently resonate with audiences.

Whether you’re an employee, a leader, or an employee wanting to lead, you’ll benefit by hearing Kelly’s reflections on unconscious bias and its impact on hiring and employee retention, the importance of advocacy and mentorship at work, and how to root diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives into corporate culture, so they grow into perpetual achievements.
