Dayna Steele’s Summary

An entertaining, inspiring and motivational keynote speaker and best-selling business book author, Dayna Steele captivates her audiences with humorous and informative stories about her careers in rock and roll and in business, and from her best-selling business book Rock to the Top: What I Learned about Success from the World's Greatest Rock Stars. Her presentations include:

THE HEADLINER - You will "Find Your Inner Rock Star" with this popular motivational keynote speech customized for each corporate gathering. Dayna will guide your audience through the steps to build their stage for success.

BACKSTAGE PASS - A more intimate presentation for smaller groups that includes a discussion of Rock to the Top and Dayna's career with a question and answer session. Each participant receives a personalized autographed book.

BEGINNING ROCK STAR 101 - A motivational keynote speech designed for high school or middle school students. Send your future rock stars and leaders into the world with classic advice given in a fun and hip presentation.

She reigned for years as Houston's “First Lady of Radio”, building a large army of fans known as ‘Steeleworkers’ at KLOL-FM. Dayna was nominated as Local Radio Personality of the Year by Billboard Magazine and named one of Talkers Magazine's 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts.

Steele also created the highly successful e-commerce venture The Space Store. Her latest venture is Smart Girls Rock, an online community to encourage girls to participate in science, technology, engineering, math, medicine and business. And in her 'spare time,' she created Operation National Anthem, a series of videos from US soldiers serving in Iraq, to be played at events prior to the singing of the national anthem. For that website, Reader's Digest named Dayna one of the "35 People Who Inspire Us" in the May 2008 issue.
