What Dorien Talks About
Every talk is tailored to your audience and event goals. These signature topics can be delivered as keynotes, breakout sessions, or workshop formats.
Content Strategy That Actually Works
Most businesses post without a plan. This talk gives audiences a clear framework for building a content strategy that maps every post, video, and email to a real business goal — no more guessing, no more burnout.
AI for the Rest of Us
AI doesn't have to be overwhelming or impersonal. Dorien shows business owners and marketers how to use AI tools with intention — saving time without losing their voice, their brand, or their humanity.
Video Confidence for Every Business
You don't need a big budget or a film crew — you need a strategy and a little courage. This talk helps audiences show up on video with clarity, consistency, and a repeatable system that builds trust fast.
Social Media Without the Overwhelm
From platform selection to content batching, this talk breaks down exactly how small businesses can build a strong social presence without burning out — using a simple, strategy-first approach.
Marketing for Nonprofits
Nonprofits have powerful stories to tell. This talk helps mission-driven organizations use content, video, and social media to build community, grow donor relationships, and amplify their impact.
