Simone Donae & Cortland Watson — speakers and vision builder

We know what it’s like to feel broken, lost, or disconnected — and we also know how to rise.
Our stories couldn’t be more different, but our mission is the same: to awaken greatness in people who don’t yet see it.

Simone walked the hard road from childhood trauma and addiction to complete freedom in God. She now empowers women, youth, and families to know their worth and create peaceful, purpose-driven homes.


Cortland overcame the darkness of suicide ideation and built a career transforming young lives, leaders, and entrepreneurs through connection, communication, and vision.

Together, we bring a unique blend of real-life experience, practical tools, and unforgettable storytelling that changes how people see themselves, their work, and their relationships.

Transforming Audiences

We guide audiences:

  • From isolated → connected
     
  • From directionless → vision-driven
     
  • From chaotic → peaceful & purpose-filled

Whether it’s a youth conference, corporate leadership event, parenting summit, or church gathering, we deliver messages that inspire change and provide the tools to make it stick.

They took the time to speak to the students on our campus with great insight and inspiration. They reminded us all that what we see on the outside can mask what issues we may be dealing with underneath the facade we may put on.  I still remember how quiet the gym was and how tuned in the students were, and that they left with something valuable that day! - Linda McEvers

The message of vision and connection resonated with everyone in attendance. Very well presented and organized! - K. Cardenas

Faith Based Youth Groups

Faith Based Youth Groups

We were privileged to have Cortland Watson and Simone Donae facilitate our Stake Youth Fireside. It was well put together with activities that involved all of the youth; as they presented the message of the fireside. Above all else they brought on opportunity for the youth to feel the inspirations of the Holy Ghost. Thank You Cortland and Simone!! - Dan Cluff
