Clarity-driven strategy & sleeves-rolled-up execution
Helping people, businesses, and brands
grow with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
I’m Denise DiGrigoli, founder of Drive Media & Consulting, creator and host of MAV’s Coffee Clarity, and someone who believes in the power of clarity, creativity, and well-timed reinvention.
With over 30 years of experience launching businesses, growing brands, leading teams, and coaching professionals, I’ve built a practice rooted in helping others succeed—with purpose and confidence.
I believe in starting with a yes, following it with an and, and meeting people exactly where they are. My work blends strategy and storytelling with sleeves-rolled-up action—and a strong cup of coffee.
Whether I’m guiding a brand through a growth phase, training a team to speak with more power and purpose, or helping a founder shape their message, my goal is always the same:
To help people and businesses move forward—with clarity that sticks.
If you're looking for thoughtful strategy, creative insight, and a partner who can make complicated things feel doable—I'm here.
I’m a hands-on consultant and media-savvy strategist who helps people and businesses move forward
—with style, smarts, and sleeves-rolled-up execution.
I’ve worn nearly every hat: founder, brand builder, event architect, sales coach, marketing director, and trusted advisor to executives and creatives alike.
If you’re launching something, stuck somewhere, or ready to lead with more confidence—I can help.
I deliver interactive keynotes, breakouts and workshops that blend insight, energy and clarity.
Offering customizable sessions designed to be memorable and actionable.
Sample Topics Include:
"We invited Denise DiGrigoli, to come and speak at our annual sales meeting. Denise has the ability to invigorate a crowd with her enthusiasm and share personal stories and give examples of real life applications of her teachings. Denise adapts well to all levels in and audience, and unlike many speakers, has real life practical experience to draw from. I think one of Denise's best qualities in a group is her ability to get people up and running and their blood flowing if they are stuck and need help getting unstuck. I can strongly recommend Denise as a headline speaker to invigorate any work team, and help get them out of a rut

"Denise has moderated two panel discussions on Conscious Capitalism, in which I participated. She did a terrific job introducing the subject-matter, skillfully guiding the discussion among the panelists through insightful questions, and engaging the audience in the Q&A. Denise made the panel discussions interesting, informative, and lively for the audience. It is easy to see that she embraces the principles around conscious business practices through applying them daily. I would strongly recommend Denise for discussions on a range of other topics including self-motivation, responsible business practices, and community involvement to name a few topics. She will make the forum educational, entertaining and lively!"
