Quanta Rodeo Team

We recently had the pleasure of having Donene Taylor come and speak to our Quanta Team on one of our Zoom calls. Her message and advice were invaluable, and everyone who attended the call came away feeling motivated and inspired. Donene’s ability to engage our team members was exceptional, and I received many positive messages from members afterwards expressing how… Read more “Quanta Rodeo Team”

Brandy Casey

The world of rodeo is evolving more so than ever and these competitors are getting way more opportunities at a much younger age!  These kids are extremely talented – but if their mental game isn’t on point they can be as talented as they come – and not be successful.   We are blessed to have a dear friend who… Read more “Brandy Casey”

Sarah

Donene Taylor came into my life seven months ago. Since then she has changed the way I talk, think, and act. She became a friend who will show up and be there with the best advice as well as a member in my inner circle. Donene is very straight up with me, which is helpful in many situations. She has… Read more “Sarah”

Kayla (Nelson) Spickelmier

I have had the privilege to work one on one with Donene, along with taking her “Close the Gap” mental toughness workshop. I love the authenticity she shares from her own personal experiences, her struggles, the highs and lows and everything in between; from her own past and current mental toughness journey.  I was able to really connect and create a… Read more “Kayla (Nelson) Spickelmier”

Peace Garden Special Education Leadership Team

We were looking for a class that would increase our leadership skills with the teachers that we work with, and Donene was a perfect fit!  We learned awareness, knowledge of skills, and steps to take action that were easy to implement in work, and in our personal lives.  We now look at adversity as opportunity to grow! Peace Garden Special… Read more “Peace Garden Special Education Leadership Team”

Hadley Furnival

“The things Donene taught me are unlike anything I’ve ever been taught. For example I used to blank out at every important calf, she gave me the tools and processes to help think through my runs and keep myself focused. I can’t thank her enough for leading me to my greatest successes. She helped me win my state title and… Read more “Hadley Furnival”

“Our daughter Ella has been riding horses since she was 5 years old but didn’t start roping until 2017. By 2020 we realized that Ella wanted to take her roping to the next level. After attending a roping clinic in early in 2021 where we met Donene Taylor, we had the opportunity to purchase one of her books and realized… Read more “Eric and Erica Lawton”

Stash Easton

“Donene conducted a one- hour ‘confidence building training’ session during our virtual national sales meeting. This should be a very difficult thing to do without being in the room to read the body language of the group. This didn’t phase Donene as she used creative ideas to engage with and involve the audience. Her delivery was fantastic, and the message… Read more “Stash Easton”

“Donene was someone that I had watched alongside as a competitor about a decade ago. When I was about 18 I saw Donene compete at a WPRA Rodeo, and then the WPRA finals. I watched for the next few years, as she grew, and went from a contestant to a competitor. She became fearless, and fierce, winning her first Tie… Read more “Jordan Jo Fabrizio”
