TESTIMONIALS
“A true inspiration”
Audiences come away awakened, driven, moved and compelled to break down the barriers of life. Deedee is extremely genuine, passionate and someone I consider to be a true inspiration.
Max Siegel
CEO, USA Track & Field
“DeeDee has the power to move the soul and the hearts of the many!”
Whenever DeeDee is making her speech, no matter if it’s in front of a small group or thousands of people, everybody leaves that place with a touched soul. Her story is amazing on its own, but the way she delivers it is simply fantastic. She adapts to the audience, young or old, good or bad English, everybody understands the story and she makes it very personal.
Sang-Chul Lee
President, EF Japan
“Real, Relevant and Restorative!”
The speech DeeDee gave was real, relevant and restorative! The young people and myself could not move. We felt her talking to us! Afterwards we felt we could accomplish anything if we just keep the faith and believe.

“Absolutely mind blowing. It truly inspired our lives!”
Having the opportunity to listen to DeeDee speak was absolutely mind blowing. It made me cry and laugh, it was so inspiring; But what her message did for my 12-year-old daughter literally amazed me. She became a new person and started to attack everything she did with a positive mentality I had never seen in her before. DeeDee’s message has defiantly stayed with us as we continue to live our lives. Thanks DeeDee.

“Your message will forever be etched in the minds of those that got to witness it.”
The students are still talking about the impact your message made. You came through and gave them your energy and they felt it all the way. Even the students that did not get the opportunity to attend the assembly have heard about the power you brought to us! Your impact is far reaching! I cannot begin to fully express how grateful we are for the gift of your presence here at Drew. The message, the books, it was all so wonderful. We appreciate you greatly and hope that you felt the love and energy back from us! Your message will forever be etched in the minds of those that got to witness it.

“Your story smacked me in the face and woke me up.”
Those words; “I can. I must. I will.” Those words are who I “used to be.” I recognized the person I was and I have no idea of the person who is me today. That changed at 11:17 this morning. Thank you. I have work to do. I have things to accomplish. I have a life to grab by the throat. I have failures to learn from. And most of all... I can. I must. I WILL!
