Life in the Key of Change (This is
not what I signed up for!) |
LaDonna Gatlin 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 Gatlin 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.
