Hi dayna,
I have been looking for your website since i saw you on great day houston.
You said if anyone had a book ideal you could show them how to get their book publish and i was woundering if you were going to have another meeting anytime soon .
Wish we were there too – your turn to come here! Maybe we can get there Spring Break March 2011…
Hi Dayna
Wish you were all over here on the 21st August
We are having a family Ceilidh (Scottish Dance) at the Transport Museum to help our Kids Road Safety Circuit fund raiser.
In addition to the Mighty Clachan Yell (Ceilidh band)…..
we just heard that Scottish Artise Sandi Thom ( check her out on You Tube or http://www.sandithom.com) is going to do a wee session for us.
Her debut single sold over 700,000 copies so we are really chuffed that she is coming out to play for us,
i also understand she may be heading for TEXAS ….so make sure she gets a good ole Southern Welcome
Hurry back , there is a “wee dram” for you and the family ready on the tab x Crawf
It was very special to be with Outlaw Dave, Crash and the whole gang. And even more special that “Steeleworkers” like you are still around and remember what we did. It was a great time in radio to be a part of in a great city with amazing listeners. Thanks for such a nice note!
Hi Dayna,
I listened to you on 94,97 & 101 and now I just watched your video up in the top right corner of this web site. It was a pleasure to view and I may have even taken something away with me from it. I see why you have done so well, smart and as always pretty.
Keep up the good work and it is easy to see in you the passion for what you do. It does come across very well.
Sincerely, Keith an old fan
PS: The Cardis Reunion broadcast was very special! You all are so loved by SOOOOO Many!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much. Looking forward to the induction with my favorite DJ Crash!
Congratulations on your induction to the Texas Radio Hall of Fame! Well deserved along with the rest of the KLOL crew.
I heard you at the Texas-Lousiana IAAP Annual Meeting a year or so ago and was facinated by your take on networking and social media. You’ve inspired me to get with the program!
Hope to be able to hear another one of your dynamic presentations.
Dayna,
Thank you for your presentation at my business meeting! You were fabulous and your words really hit home! I do love what I do, but with the information you gave I can be “in” love with what I do all over again!
P.S. we had our ducks in a row (literally).
Take Care!
Have A Rock Star Day!!!

You just made my day!
Hi!
My kid was watching “American Graffiti” tonight and the movie came to the scene where one of the characters was speaking with Wolfman Jack. Long story short, I got to thinking about you and wondered what you might be up to. I was a KLOL listener in College Station back in the early 80’s and every time I’d find my way back to Aggieland or Houston, my trip wasn’t complete until I heard those wonderful words, “This is Dayna Steele at 101, KLOL Houston.”
Great to hear of you again,
Fernando
Dayna,
Just saw your updated website and watched your video…. you ROCK! Press on my friend!

Listening to you at the MLT U Monday was just what the doctor ordered! It’s to easy to blame everyone else for the way things are, it’s time to take charge of what happens to ME! Thank you!
DAYNA – WOW, what a great speech at MLT UNIVERSITY in
minnesota on Monday. You are an inspiration to all women and I am buying your book for my daughter and granddaughter. I truly believe in girl power and thanks for conveying that message.

Dayna,
Thanks for rockin’ the U on Monday! I truly enjoyed listening to your rock star stories and how you tied them back to the business world. I particularly enjoyed the Sammy and Van Halen stories. I’ve been a Redhead forever. Not only does Sammy’s music inspire me but most of all I admire him for having a passion for everything he does, being a class act and his tequila isn’t bad either!
Thanks again for a great performance! I can’t wait to read your book!
Smart Girls like us ROCK!
Thank you so much for speaking at the 2009 MLTU! You really amazed me! I came back to the office and told everyone about your presentation! We are talking about getting your book!
Thanks!
Hi Dayna,
It was a pleasure listening to you at the MLT University conference on Monday, October 5, 2009 in Minneapolis. You were absolutely fabulous!! What an inspiration you were to me, I enjoyed your speech more than you know. I look forward to reading your book and hearing you again someday. Keep it up – your are doing it right! Many regards – Becky
Dayna,
I just heard you speak at the MLT University and girlfriend you rock! You were very motivating and inspiritrational……which is just what they are paying you to be. But you are also very real….the kind of person I would go to lunch or shopping with. THANK YOU for doing your job so well. If you are ever in the Oklahoma City area I would love to hear you speak again.
Hey!!! Dana
Really enjoyed your being at the Healthy Women Dinner Thursday. I can look at each day better now. Remember IF YOU WANT SOMETHING ASK FOR IT. Mary
Hi, Dayna:
Tried to leave an email for you at the addresses I had, but no luck. Is this the best way to reach you?
FM
Dayna,
I heard you at the Texas Louisiana Conference for IAAP in May. You ROCK!! I got you book read it all the way home. I passed it on to my boss who just recently had the opportunity to read. She liked it so much she wanted me to summarize your chapter on Passion and pass it out to the rest of our team.
By the way I was with the group of ladies that had the lady in it that no one would ever suspect rides Harley’s!
Not sure what you heard me on but thanks for the kind words. Hope you enjoy the book. Dayna
I just listened to you on Psysic Radio and you are an answer to prayer. I have 2 incredibly gifted children. (Son, 25 and Daughter 21) They write the most incredible music…(I know all parents say that LOL!), but my daughter has lost “hope” that their dreams can come true, while my son pushes forward. He plays all of the instruments for the songs they co-write and does the mixing and production, to the completion of the CD. She has an unreal voice and does all the vocals (lead and background). He has become disillusioned by her lack of faith in their dream. I ordered your book and can’t wait for ALL of us to read it. I have tried to understand my daughter’s loss of belief in herself. She has been taking voice/dance lessons since she was 5. She has won so many major talent contests over the past 16 years that we have journals full. Though I tried to prepare her that one day she will meet those that are equally as talented as she is, and she will have to work that much harder to achieve her dreams; I don’t think she believed me. It is finally happening and she is lost. So you know I am being truthful ~ she won a contest and got to be 1 of 6 singers to open for Richard Marx, she just sang the National Anthem to open for Kelly Clarkson. She also was 1 of 3 to open for Jordan Sparks (all local talent competitions). She is gifted. I just sent a link to your site too both kids, and HOPE that it will inspire them as well as myself. You “ROCK”…and thank you!! I will follow your career and am sure I will glean much wisdom and inspiriation! Happy 4th and many blessings to you and yours!
Warmly,
Charn Burton
Thanks for the comment on the website. I give them out at speeches or whenever anyone asks me for “my card.” At larger events, once I give a few out, it brings even more people to me to ask if they can have one. It is a great way to meet and network with an even larger group. I carry them in my computer bag, purse, pocket – always have a few to give out.
Dayna:
Will ignore the obvious. Just read Marcia Layton Turner’s Lessons Learned 2.0 which includes mention of your use of a guitar pick for promotional material. Didn’t understand why, until I opened your web page. Do you give the pick out to everyone, or have you worked out a target audience that you are trying to reach. Given your diverse background and interests, how did you work out who to target.
