Donna Cutting, President and CEO (Chief Experience Officer) of Donna Cutting Presents!, is a nationally recognized expert in employee engagement and extraordinary customer service. A stage actress turned author and professional speaker, Donna helps leaders create places where employees get Standing Ovations and customers get Star Treatment.

She is the author of The Celebrity Experience: Insider Secrets to Red Carpet Customer Service, published by Wiley. Donna went right to the source – Hollywood -  spending a year and a half interviewing people who own, manage, or work for companies that cater to the Tinsel town elite to learn what “real world” businesses can do to provide celebrity-caliber service.

As a professional speaker, Donna is anything but ordinary!  Combining her experience in the theater and her passion for fun, she delivers her content in a high energy style with her trademark enthusiasm.  Her presentations mix include hilarious Keynote Theater™ bits, side-splitting song parodies and exceptional audience interaction. Donna combines her dramatic, fun and humorous style of presenting with easy and action-oriented/practical ideas and strategies that people can implement immediately.

Donna doesn’t provide a speech, she provides an experience.

And when Donna speaks, it’s the AUDIENCE that’s the STAR of the SHOW!
