From Standing Ovations to Speaker Coach

You Deserve a Speaker Coach Who Made Her Living Getting Standing Ovations.

For more than 30 years, Mimi Donaldson captivated audiences across North America, Europe, Canada, and Mexico, delivering over 900 keynote presentations for Fortune 500 companies, associations, universities, and organizations of every size.

Today, instead of standing on the stage, she stands beside speakers—helping entrepreneurs, executives, TEDx presenters, authors, and business professionals create presentations that inspire audiences, build credibility, and earn standing ovations of their own.

Why work with Mimi?

There are plenty of people who call themselves speaker coaches.

Very few have been speakers, and even fewer have spent decades making their living on the platform.

“ For over three decades, I delivered keynote presentations to audiences all over the world and refined through hundreds of live presentations. Today, I know that speaking to thousands of people was “preparation” for what I’m doing now. I know what the audience wants to hear, and in what order they want to hear it. Giving the audience a reason to delight in sharing a moment together has become the foundation of my speaker coaching. I help clients create presentations that connect, inspire, and move audiences to action.”      – Mimi Donaldson

Mimi understands what it takes to engage an audience because she's done it—hundreds of times. She knows how to turn nervous energy into confidence, stories into memorable moments, and presentations into experiences that audiences remember long after the applause.

Whether you're preparing for a keynote, TEDx Talk, conference presentation, networking event, media interview, or high-stakes business presentation, Mimi helps you communicate with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
