ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

Best-Selling Amazon Author, International Speaker, Women Empowerment Leader and Entrepreneur

Donna Izzard has a passionate vision that she tirelessly puts to use in the service of others. As an international speaker, Donna speaks candidly about her life experience and shares her truth and hard-earned wisdom with others to uplift and inspire as many as she can. Donna is devoted to empowering young women and single mothers in her community.

As an entrepreneur and best-selling author, she has launched and managed a successful business while working as one of the few women technology training directors at an AmLaw100 law firm. It is her 30+ years spent in Corporate America that has honed her God-given gift for innovation and ability to bring out the inner, often hidden, phenomenal in people.

Donna turned what began as an empowerment workshop in her childhood community of Harlem into the Unstoppable Black Woman (UBW) sisterhood, a thriving movement for Black women. Through workshops and trainings for UBW, Donna inspires Black women to embrace an unstoppable mindset. Donna regularly hosts free local workshops on self-esteem, confidence and entrepreneurship. She has also published life-changing books, which motivate Black women and children to always keep moving forward.



For several years, Donna was the business manager for the former White House Ambassador of Religious Freedom Reverend Dr. Suzan D. Johnson Cook.

Donna has been honored with the Women In Ministry Worldwide Award given by Reverend Al Sharpton's National Action Networks Women’s Auxiliary New York City Chapter for the critical work she has done in the community and ministry.

Donna was identified as one of the top coaches to watch by the Huffington Post and was recognized as one of 30 Black Global Leaders by Impact Magazine, a lifestyle publication whose mission is to empower, encourage and educate readers through the power of images and words. Donna was most recently selected as a Notable Black Leader by Crain's New York Business, an honor that identifies talented and accomplished Black individuals whose professional and communal achievements enhance New York City and the lives of its inhabitants.

Donna is passionate about DEI and serves on the DEI Committee at her workplace.

WORKPLACE P.I.T

(PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY THEFT)

Sometimes, people experience feelings of being stuck, held back, and unable to succeed in the workplace. I have coined this reaction as "professional identity theft," which can hinder a person's ability to achieve their desired professional life.

Whether a person has been passed

over for a promotion, lacks professional development opportunities, faces workplace bullying, is in a hostile work environment, or experiences consistent self-doubt, Donna can help them regain their confidence and get back on track.

As the popular life coach and author Stephen

Covey once said, "The true identity theft is not financial, it's not in cyberspace, it's spiritual."
