Testimonials
Your workshop on Team Dynamics was truly worthwhile and rewarding, as well as interactive and fun. You managed to successfully bring substance and meaning to a process for understanding the dynamics of personality and behavior in the workplace. I believe the workshop, in helping staff to better understand our differences and how to make the most of them, was extremely useful in terms of team building and effective communication. Your delivery is superb!
Barry Tuckett
Your TEDx talk called “Choose Life” was one of the most important talks I have heard all year.
Matt Wiebe
We engaged Deri to be our guest speaker at our first Inspire Network Conference and she hit it out of the park! Not only was she engaging and insightful she was able to connect with everyone at the conference in a meaningful and inspiration way
Gayle Corah
Deri was incredibly energetic, uplifting and captivated my attention from beginning to end of the session. I left the session feeling empowered.
Learned that we as individuals are in full control of our behaviour – starting at our thought process, believing what we think that’s positive, taking the positive out of everything, making the choice to be what we want to be, it’s a decision.
