Deri’s Speaking Topics

Customized, Current,
Connected Experiences!

I turn complex topics into fun, energizing, and useful experiences. Combining strong storytelling with experiential moments, the audience is engrossed in a journey to well-being like none other.

The experiences I design are customized for your conference, your audience, and your unique organization.

Every keynote message is based on research (without giving you the research, because that can be boring), and grounded in practicality (because you won’t do it, or remember it, if it isn’t simple). My messages are designed to allow you to connect with yourself and with others in purposeful ways that will keep you interested and energized – long after the keynote has ended!

In this stimulating keynote, we will peel back the complex layers of neuroscience, exposing simple and effective methods to access more neural resources. As a result, you will experience proven strategies that will maximize your brain’s performance.

This keynote is for all humans who are interested in learning more about themselves and about others around them (peers, leaders, family, etc.).

The Neuroscience of Leadership

Maximizing your leadership effectiveness while working with the best parts of the brain!

Your brain, like the brains of everyone else around you, is ‘at work’ every moment of every day. It impacts your ability to focus your attention, to manage your emotions, and to create the kinds of relationships that maximize your results. It is the very source of your leadership strength, just as it is of life itself.

This energizing keynote will inspire you to discover how your brain works, and what you can do to create more opportunities for insight, handle pressure effectively, and facilitate positive change in yourself and others.

Session takeaways:

  • Understand why personal awareness often decreases as you rise in the organization
  • Explore how the way we work today is causing constant mental exhaustion
  • Create workplace practices that are aligned with maximum performance
  • Appreciate how traditional ‘performance management’ does not work
  • Remind yourself that people continue to follow your modeling as the leader

This keynote is for leaders, managers, supervisors, association executives, CEOs, and anyone aspiring to lead others.

If you’re looking to increase your own mental and physical well-being, while influencing others to do the same, this session is for you!

What Clients Say...

“Deri, you are the best! Not a dull moment and the time went too fast!”
Linda Borbridge, Manager, Aboriginal Peoples Television Network
“I’m often asked to recommend a professional speaker who will captivate and motivate, and without hesitation Deri Latimer comes to mind. Deri has a reputation for a no-nonsense, energetic, synergistic approach. Her cutting-edge sessions are the perfect combination of science and inspiration and will have you moving into a new groove.”
Dr. Lewena Bayer, CEO, Civility Experts Inc.
“Deri is the personification of quality, style, and enthusiasm in her message. She delivered a message with our group that heightened their awareness and ability to share success. My hope is that you too will seek her out as a keynote, connector, and catalyst for change.”
Joseph Bork, Program Director, St. Mary’s University
“I am usually the type to sit in the crowd, quietly take it all in, and take notes, notes that end up in a binder, often never to be seen once I return to work. Deri was engaging, fun and as real as they get. I was so moved by her session that I shocked myself by approaching her after the session to chat. During the session I didn’t need to take notes because her concepts hit home and stuck with me. I have already taken her advice and acted on her tips and tools to be more positive. Her positivity is contagious and her message is one that everyone should take time to listen to.”
Amy Normal, VP, Corporate Services, Said Business School, University of Oxford
“I had the privilege of hearing Deri keynote at our conference. She captivates, motivates, and positively engages an audience with her unique combination of wisdom about neuroscience and positive behaviors that can be life changing when put into action. I would recommend her without any reservation for those seeking a speaker who can move an audience – from associates on a manufacturing floor to members of an executive leadership team – into action. Her takeaways are designed for positive impact. Prepare to laugh, to be curious, to be hungry for more time to listen to Deri.”
