About Renée

Keynote Speaker, Certified Co-Active coach, Educator, and Entrepreneur passionate about helping creatives and business leaders step into their full confidence and visibility.

With over a decade of experience as a wedding and event planner, I know firsthand the challenges of building a business that balances creativity, strategy, and soul. I’ve since expanded my work to coach entrepreneurs across industries, inspiring them to own their voice, amplify their impact, and build bold, profitable businesses they love.

I’m the host of Talk with Renée Dalo, a podcast that ran for over four years, delivering real talk, business insights, and mindset shifts to thousands of listeners. The podcast has now concluded as I focus on writing my first book, coming later this year.

My credentials include a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) certification from the Co-Active Training Institute, and I’m a trained facilitator of Tara Mohr’s Playing Big curriculum.

You’ll find me on stages at major conferences like Wedding MBA, Alt Summit, and The Special Event—bringing energy, strategy, and practical guidance that helps audiences move from stuck to unstoppable.

In 2021, I was named one of the Top 500 Most Influential Event Professionals in the United States by BizBash. I’ve also been honored with a 20 On the Rise Award from Honeybook, Gusto, and Peerspace.

I’m proud to have won Speaker of the Year from NACE Palm Springs, been nominated for Speaker of the Year at NACE National, and recognized as a finalist in three categories at The Reelies 2025.

When I’m not coaching or speaking, I’m a wife, cat mom, sushi enthusiast, and former musical theatre performer — all parts of my life that fuel my bold, authentic approach.
