Embrace the Unusual
Are you looking for a keynote speaker with edge, fun, and relevance who is a consummate professional and has been around long enough to know how to make your event a success (and make you look good, too)? Then, I’m your speaker!
I have been in the professional speaking/events industry for over 25 years. I have a personal story that is compelling, while also being filled with hope and possibility!
My keynotes are customized for you, your audience, and your events while being based in solid and current research and grounded in practicality and simplicity.
I am the Resilience Rebel because I have a background that allows me to take chances, to be daring, to look for resources that are not mainstream – or if they are, I present them in a completely unique and memorable way. The rebellious part of me reflects my passion to provide ideas and solutions for human beings to live lives that are filled with possibility!

Wife of one, mother of two, friend to many, in her time off, you can find Deri at her cottage painting random items and displaying them in her yard! If the hair didn’t cause people to wonder about her, the sparkly mannequins in the yard certainly do!
