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.
