What People Are Saying

Steve Cesler

VP, Customer Business Development, Procter & Gamble

“Donna has a rich history of experiences and insights that she shared with her audience for business application. She was able to take examples from her book and challenge our group with good questions on how we would respond in similar situations, or what we could apply to our world based on the examples of others. Donna made a great connection with our group, was fully committed, and had a comfortable way of delivering her message.”

Caleb Cage

Executive Director, Nevada Office of Veterans Services

“Donna spoke at the 4th Annual Nevada Women Veterans Summit in March of 2011. Her presentation was crisp, thoughtful, and moving, and her style was outgoing and approachable. Having Donna on board helped to make this event one of the best outreach events we have ever offered. I cannot endorse her unique and informative presentation enough.”

RADM Richard W. Schneider

USCGR (Ret.), President, Norwich University

“Donna McAleer is a magnificent presenter, both on the panel and in the classroom setting. All of her comments were thought provoking and generated good debate and discussion. Her responses were thoughtful, seasoned, and often times, provocative, which is exactly what we want to get our students thinking.”

Carole Turner

Deputy Director, Nevada Office of Veterans Services

“The very success of the 4th Annual Nevada Women Veterans Summit rests in the caliber of our guest speakers and their moving, poignant and insightful presentations. Donna McAleer discussed the importance of teamwork in the military and in our personal lives. Her speech was captivating, motivating and inspirational!”

Col. Jim Crider

Commander, 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Ft. Stewart, GA

“I strongly recommend Donna McAleer as both a guest speaker and an author. Speaking at the Fort Stewart Women’s History Month celebration, she was not only knowledgeable but touched our audience with her sincerity while using clear language. Anyone who brings Ms. McAleer’s talents to their event will be well served!”

“We invited Ms. McAleer to speak to the 35 members of our Presidents Council at a lunch meeting and to our 400 upper school students in an assembly. Donna’s military demeanor combines well with her intellect and warmth to make her a very effective speaker.”

“Donna McAleer spoke to our students about her experiences at West Point, Olympic Tryouts, and beyond. Her direct and down-to-earth wisdom quickly got their attention and touched their hearts. Many young women later commented that she truly understands what it means to walk in their shoes.”

Fraser Nelson

Executive Director, Community Foundation of Utah

“Donna inspired the members of our Women’s Giving Circle with her stories of women’s courage and leadership. She connected directly and personally with our members — especially the teens, who learned by example that girls can do anything they put their minds to.”

Anne Holman

General Manager, The King’s English Bookshop

“Donna McAleer brings a sense of humor and in-depth knowledge to a topic few of us know enough about — women in the military. Her speeches, particularly when there is a question and answer portion, are terrific for listeners of all ages.”
