“Choose purpose over pressure: your nervous system steadies, burnout unclenches, and boundaries name what you will and will not carry; the people you serve feel seen, safe, and ready to rise.”

Keynote Speaker | Workshop Leader | Transformation Guide
The Intentional Shift Strategist in Life and Business
Guiding leaders and teams through courageous, aligned next steps, without losing what matters most.
Meet Donna Davis
Donna Davis is a dynamic speaker, transformational storyteller, and wellness strategist who helps leaders shift from constant pressure to purposeful, clear, and sustainable leadership rooted in the power of living their purpose. With over 30 years of experience, including her role as a former state director of Child Nutrition Programs, Donna speaks from the trenches. She knows the silent weight of leading while depleted, unseen, and expected to hold it all together, and she offers a way through.
Her message is more than motivational; it’s a mirror and a roadmap. Blending lived experience, spiritual depth, and actionable strategies, Donna creates transformative spaces where leaders realign with purpose, reclaim their voice, and lead with unshakable clarity. Because when you lead from purpose, not performance, burnout loosens its grip, boundaries strengthen, and your impact becomes sustainable.
Who Donna Speaks For:
Donna’s message resonates with:
Executives, principals, and department heads navigating growth, crisis, or change who need calm confidence, stronger boundaries, and sustainable impact.
HR, L&D, and ERG leaders seeking practical burnout prevention and emotionally intelligent cultures that retain and re-energize talent.
Education and school nutrition professionals ready to elevate presence, service, and resilience without burning out.
Ambitious professionals who “have the title” but feel misaligned, ready to trade constant pressure for clear, purpose-led leadership.
High-achieving leaders and teams who want more than output—who want alignment, clarity, and the power of living their purpose.

I cannot thank you enough for such a spectacular presentation. It truly impacted all of us. One of the first emails I received this morning was from a manager who wrote, "I have already had to practice PEACE in my cafeteria." I asked her if it was effective, and she said it really was. The influence you had on us is being used to help us become better leaders.
I noticed that some of our more reserved staff members were actually engaging yesterday, which is a big improvement. Your presentation has not only served as a great source of inspiration and a valuable tool for our jobs, but as you mentioned, it is also applicable to all life situations.
I greatly appreciated your presentation, and my staff has sent me multiple compliments on the outstanding job you did. Thank you, and I hope we can collaborate in the future. I know all my staff would benefit from your life-changing presentation.
Your presentation was life-changing,I was at a point where I wanted to give up and had no hope in regaining my passion again for my career, but God brought me here today. Thank you for your obedience!
Thank you again for doing the training. Today staff were sharing how valuable it was.
