Hi I’m Deirdre!

You have a lot on the line when choosing a keynote speaker for your event; that’s why I take my job very seriously. My focus isn’t just to WOW your audience, it’s to be your partner in making sure my keynote goes off without a hitch.

At the end of the day, I’ll provide your group with an engaging experience, give them actionable tools they can use right away to advance their business/career, AND make you look great for hiring me.

I am known for delivering on these promises, which is why I have a 93% rehire rate and am consistently ranked one of the top, if not THE top speaker at events.

My life’s mission is to help financial professionals, sales professionals, and entrepreneurs become engaging, inspiring, and compelling communicators.

Why?

Because those skills build relationships. If your group’s success in business depends on building relationships quickly, I’m the keynote speaker for you.

Since, 2012 I have personally booked millions of dollars in business from live and virtual stages, and have taught 1000’s financial professionals, sales professionals, and entrepreneurs of how to do the same.

Specifically, I speak on presentation skills, storytelling skills, one to one selling and prospecting skills, and how to develop and use emotionally intelligent communication skills in business.

To see why I care about helping you learn these skills watch the two videos below.
