"You made us laugh…you made us cry…you made us remember that we are truly doing the right thing…caring for the many residents in long term care. We walked out with a song in our hearts!" North Dakota Long Term Care Association

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 voice and “sing our own song.”

LaDonna literally grew up on stage singing with her family, the legendary Gatlin Brothers. In the early 1970’s the Gatlins took their family harmony to Nashville, Tennessee. But a detour appeared on the road to stardom…LaDonna got married. At this defining moment, she realized that success for her could be measured in a very different way. 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…to live life from the inside out…through their words, their deeds, and their actions.

Her musical keynotes and concerts put her on the road more than one hundred days a year. She’s shared her message everywhere…from corporate powerhouses to the prison cells of death row. LaDonna Gatlin truly speaks from the heart with stories that are the stuff of life. Her presentations drive home common sense wisdom for everyday living. With her outstanding vocal ability and down-home humor added to the mix, you get a winning combination that educates, inspires and entertains!
