I can personally relate to her. I have never laughed so hard in my life. Laughter thru tears is my favorite emotion!!!

It’s great to laugh and learn a lesson at the same time.

Entertaining and very uplifting! I loved her spirit.

Great topic we all needed to hear. So much fun – I laughed so much I cried

Everyone needs her sense of humor. She was very funny. I won’t forget that it’s OK to stumble, fall and crash.

Fun, entertaining, uplifting and inspiring. Just what I needed, I felt like she was talking to me.

A wonderful motivational speaker. The best I’ve ever heard.

DON'T SHOOT SKINNY RABBITS

Before we can grow professionally, we need to learn to survive personally.  As the pace of change quickens every day, we sometimes end up chasing too many skinny rabbits.  When we do this we lose our energy and our focus on what’s really important.  Be open to new ideas, a revitalized sense of self, and letting go of the stress that causes you to chase SKINNY RABBITS!

FINES DOUBLE IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Before we can grow professionally we need to keep focused on our life journey. When we are traveling so fast and so furious, we sometimes limit our ability to navigate our path. After this presentation the participant should have strategies to help maintain their focus and make sure they stay open to new ideas, a revitalized sense of self, and making the trip is enjoyable.

Objectives:

  • Participants will be provided healthy options for dealing with stress
  • Participants will be able to reduce the use of negative energy
  • Participants will be able to adapt strategies to practice perseverance.
  • Participants will be able to adapt strategies to let go of negative and stressful environments.

WORKING WITH PORCUPINES

What happens when you mix a fast-paced society full of iPhones, tablets, and deadlines with cross-generational teams and customers? Porcupines around every corner.

Deadra, a child of the 60s, mother of two, and grandma to four, plus a 40-year veteran of the classroom, empowers audiences to work with customers and team members of differing backgrounds. She uses humor to explore the unique cultural and generational perspectives that exist in every situation.

By the end, audiences understand and will recognize how they, too, can take a pause, listen, and work with anyone; porcupines or not.
