 The baby sister of the legendary Gatlin Brothers, LaDonna
left a promising career in country music to become one of America's most sought
after motivational speakers. Her captivating story is featured in the popular
series, "Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman's Soul."
LaDonna believes one defining moment can redefine our lives. She knows firsthand
that we can’t live someone else’s dream—that in order to be our personal best,
we must find our own song to sing.
She literally grew up on stage singing with her brothers, country music’s
legendary Gatlin Brothers. In the early 1970’s the Gatlins took their family
harmony to Nashville. But a funny thing happened on the road to stardom. LaDonna
got married. At this defining moment, she realized success could be measured in
many different ways. So she took a giant leap of faith, chose to follow her
heart, and “sing a different song” apart from her brothers.
LaDonna has spent her entire career empowering people to “sing their own song”
as well. She inspires audiences to live a value-driven life from the inside
out…through their words, their deeds, and their actions.
Her keynotes and concerts put her on the road more than one hundred days per
year. She has shared her message everywhere from corporate powerhouses to the
prison cells of death row. Her unique ability to combine a strong message and
music has made her an instant hit with audiences all across America.
LaDonna is an active member of the National Speakers Association and has earned
its highest professional designation, the Certified Speaking Professional; CSP
recipients are part of an elite group of professional speakers who have a proven
track record of continuing speaking experience and expertise. A CSP is committed
to ongoing education, outstanding service, and ethical behavior. Fewer than 500
of the more than 4000 NSA members nationwide currently hold this designation.
