Built for Disruption:
Leading When Everything’s Up in the Air

Most leaders are built for business-as-usual. But business-as-usual doesn’t exist anymore.

Markets shift overnight, reorgs hit without warning, compensation plans get “realigned,” and suddenly, your top performers are second-guessing their goals. One email can throw a team into chaos. In today’s reality, it’s not the smartest or most experienced leaders who win; it’s the ones who know how to lead when everything is up in the air.

Danielle Cobo doesn’t teach change management. She teaches Disruption-Proof™Leadership, the mindset, tools, and strategy for leading with confidence when business gets messy, unpredictable, and downright hard.

As a former Fortune 500 Senior Sales Manager, Danielle led her team to #1 nationwide while navigating layoffs, mergers, and back-to-back shakeups.

In this high-impact keynote, Danielle shares the Disruption-Proof™ framework built for leaders who don’t just want to “get through it” but come out on top. This is real-world leadership for the leaders in the real world.

Your audience will walk away knowing how to:

  • Cut the noise and lead with a laser-sharp focus

  • Create buy-in and accountability—without micromanaging

  • Keep teams engaged when morale dips

  • Drive results without burning out your best people

  • Build trust and resilience that lasts, no matter what’s changing

Who This Is For

This keynote is for leaders who’ve realized that business-as-usual is gone and it’s not coming back.

  • For emerging leaders stepping into management roles and wondering, "Am I doing this right?"

  • For seasoned leaders who’ve seen one too many comp plan changes, reorgs, or team shakeups—and are done flying blind

  • For business owners navigating growth, uncertainty, and a team that looks to them for answers they don’t always have


If your leaders are feeling the pressure to perform and stabilize everyone else while everything’s up in the air, this keynote is their lifeline.

They’ll walk out with a strategy. A mindset reset. And the tools to lead like they were Built for Disruption.

This program is offered in person and virtually.

Stop Spinning. Start Winning:
Shift Your Habits, Spark Momentum, and Show Up Ready to Own It

Let’s cut to it—your team isn’t stuck because they lack talent or drive. They’re stuck because invisible blockers are running the show: self-doubt, fear of failure, outdated habits, and distractions disguised as productivity.

Hard work isn’t the problem. The real issue? Most people are stuck in patterns that look productive—but don’t actually get them anywhere. They’re busy. They’re burned out. And they’re wondering why they still feel like they’re falling behind.

In this keynote, Danielle introduces the Resilient High-Performer Framework—a bold and practical path to breaking through mental blocks, rebuilding confidence, and making real, measurable progress. Danielle knows performance because she’s lived it: she led her Fortune 500 sales team to #1 in the nation during a corporate shakeup. She earned four consecutive President’s Club awards as a top-performing individual contributor and built a thriving business.

Whether your audience is working inside a company or building something of their own, Danielle meets them where they are—and shows them how to stop spinning their wheels and start winning.

Your audience will walk away knowing how to:

  • Break through the 7 hidden roadblocks slowing down their performance

  • Crush self-doubt into consistent confidence

  • Ditch the busywork and zero in on high-impact action

  • Build momentum that actually lasts (even on tough days)

  • Create clear goals, measure real progress, and build traction

  • Cultivate the habits and mindset that fuel long-term momentum

Who This Is For:

This keynote is built for high achievers who feel like they’re doing everything—but still not getting where they want to go.

  • Emerging leaders who want to build confidence and credibility

  • Experienced leaders who feel stuck and need a performance reset

  • Entrepreneurs juggling a million priorities without gaining traction

  • Sales teams who need clarity, consistency, and a mindset upgrade

  • Women in business ready to stop second-guessing and start showing up like they own the room

If your team is tired of spinning—and ready to start winning—this is the keynote that delivers the clarity and fire they’ve been missing.

This program is offered in person and virtually.

Burnout’s Not a Badge:
How to Succeed Without Running on Empty

Somewhere along the way, we started applauding exhaustion- like being overwhelmed meant you were winning. Spoiler: it doesn’t.

In today’s hustle-harder culture, burnout has become the default setting. And yet, companies are still wondering why engagement is tanking, turnover’s climbing, and their high performers are quietly walking out the door.

It’s time for a new category of success—one that doesn’t require sacrificing your health, happiness, or sanity.

Danielle knows the pressure firsthand, raising twin toddlers solo while leading a top-performing Fortune 500 sales team during her husband’s year-long deployment in Iraq. This is lived experience, turned into a proven framework called Resilient High Performance.

In this keynote, Danielle delivers real talk, practical tools, and unfiltered insights that help people ditch the overwhelm, stop wearing burnout like a badge of honor, and build a version of success that actually feels successful.

Your audience will walk away knowing how to:

  • Spot the seven early warning signs of burnout (and stop them before they spiral)

  • Replace busywork with intentional action that actually moves the needle

  • Reset and recharge before hitting the wall

  • Build better habits that protect focus, energy, and well-being

  • Lead and live with clarity, not chaos

Who This Is For

This keynote is for high performers who’ve been silently white-knuckling their way through success—and are starting to feel the cost.

They’re ambitious, driven, and deeply committed… but at some point, the hustle started running the show. Now, they’re doing everything right and still feeling wrong. Exhausted. Disconnected. Stuck on autopilot.

Ideal for:

  • Emerging leaders trying to prove themselves without burning themselves out

  • Seasoned leaders who’ve climbed the ladder quietly wonder, “Why doesn’t this feel like success?”

  • Business owners juggling growth, pressure, and everyone else’s expectations—while running dangerously low themselves

  • Sales teams and top performers chasing goals, ignoring warning signs, and calling it “drive”

  • Women in business balancing impossible expectations and quietly carrying the weight of “doing it all”

If your people are showing up every day—but secretly running on fumes—this keynote gives them permission to stop surviving and start leading differently.

It’s not about slowing down. It’s about redefining performance—so success doesn’t come at the cost of your soul.

This program is offered in person and virtually.

From Stuck to Standout:
Clarity, Confidence, and the Career You Actually Want

Let’s talk about the moment most people don’t admit out loud: when you wake up, look at your calendar, and think, "Is this really it?"

Whether you're clocking in for a company or building your own thing, it's easy to feel stuck—going through the motions, chasing goals that don’t light you up, and wondering why success doesn’t feel as good as it should.

In this keynote, Danielle Cobo shares her Career Clarity Framework—a proven system to cut through confusion, reclaim confidence, and build a career (or business) that actually energizes you again.

Danielle brings the best of both worlds. As a former Fortune 500 Senior Sales Manager, she led record-breaking teams through major change. As an entrepreneur, she left the corporate world and built a successful business from scratch.

This keynote is your audience’s reset button—built for those who know they’re meant for more.

After this program, audiences will be able to…

  • Get unstuck and create real momentum

  • Create a clear, actionable roadmap to achieve the success they actually want

  • Show up with confidence and clarity in meetings, pitches, interviews, and client convos

  • Identify what matters most—and build a career or business around it

  • Stop waiting for permission and start standing out in their role or industry

Who This Is For

This keynote is for driven professionals who feel like they’re doing all the “right” things—but still aren’t where they thought they’d be. They’re not lazy. They’re not lost. They’re just stuck in a cycle of doing more and feeling less—less clarity, less energy, and less fulfillment. They want more than a paycheck or a title. They want a career—or business—that actually feels like success.

Ideal for:

  • Emerging leaders trying to break through but unsure of what’s holding them back

  • Seasoned professionals who’ve stalled out, burned out, or just feel off track

  • Business owners questioning if the business they built still reflects the life they want

  • Individual contributors who are tired of being overlooked and want to stand out

  • Women in business who’ve been playing small, playing safe, or playing by everyone else’s rules—and are ready to lead with purpose and power

If your people are feeling stuck, restless, or like they’re waiting for something to change—this keynote is the change.

It’s not about working harder. It’s about getting clear, getting confident, and finally moving forward with momentum that lasts.

This program is offered in person and virtually.

Danielle Cobo isn’t your typical keynote speaker—and thank goodness for that. She’s the former Fortune 500 sales leader in the medical tech and bio-pharmaceutical industry, who took a bottom-ranked team to #1 in the nation while the company was laying people off, launching a new product every quarter, and constantly “reimagining” comp plans. Her team didn’t just survive. They operated with strategy, intention, and focus—selling smarter, executing with purpose, and outperforming every region in the country without burning out in the process.

Before stepping into leadership, Danielle earned four consecutive President’s Club awards as a top-performing sales rep in capital equipment sales. She knows how to carry a bag and crush a quota. She’s been in the trenches, exceeded the targets, and done the work that earns trust on any sales floor.

Danielle’s career has been anything but smooth. While leading high-pressure teams and hitting massive sales goals, her husband, a Blackhawk pilot, was deployed to Iraq for a year. She was solo-parenting twin toddlers who never napped simultaneously, managing a demanding career, and running a household. So when she speaks about grit, resilience, and burnout, you know it’s not coming from a textbook.

She’s not here to give your team a Monday-morning-motivation speech that wears off by lunch. Danielle brings Disruption-Proof™ frameworks that actually work in today’s high-pressure environment when goals keep growing, headcount keeps shrinking, and your people are quietly burning out behind their high-performer masks.

As a keynote speaker, Danielle combines real talk with real tools. Her sessions cut through the noise and give your people exactly what they need: strategy, clarity, and confidence. Her audience walks away with their fire reignited and a blueprint to lead stronger, sell smarter, and stop running themselves into the ground.

Danielle is the bestselling author of Unstoppable Grit, host of the globally top-rated Unstoppable Grit Podcast, and a trusted speaker for global sales meetings, leadership summits, and companies that want more than a motivational pep talk—they want transformation.

She holds a bachelor’s in communication with a minor in psychology from California State University, Fullerton. She’s certified in the Precise Selling™ Model, Inclusive and Ethical Leadership from the University of South Florida Muma College of Business, DiSC®Human Behavior through Personality Insights, Inc., and Leadership from Boston Breakthrough Academy. She is a member of the National Speakers Association.

Danielle speaks the language of high performers because she’s lived it—every pressure-packed, chaos-filled, coffee-fueled minute of it. Her message is simple: success doesn’t have to suck the life out of you. You can crush your goals and protect your peace. And she’s here to show your team exactly how to do it!

Based in sunny Tampa, Florida, just a quick drive to Orlando and a short flight to Atlanta or Miami. Whether your event is stateside or across the globe, her passport is packed.
