I love what I do also have tough times at work and home take my commitments seriously, but not myself am honoured to be able to help will say what you may not want to hear ensure my spaces are safe, respectful and authentic am not prescriptive in my approach am not the typical corporate style prefer to find ways to lighten our loads not add to them ensure my content is real, relevant and practical believe questions are more important than answers believe awareness is next to useless without attention encourage you to say NO when you genuinely want to believe you get to choose how you wish to experience everything!

"Derek is prepared to put himself where others want to be but are too scared to go...". The standard "stand and deliver" presentation style has been put to bed by Derek as he seeks, with both visual and verbal alacrity, to, at the most, convince people to change their ways and, at the least, to give them a jolt. He does this with a mix of personal insight and experience, humour and going to where the listeners are".

"I found Derek's keynote inspiring, at times confronting, and very thought-provoking. The key takeaway was the need to work out what was really important in my life and focus most of my energies on it rather than get buried in the day-to-day clutter, which doesn't add value. He had a few people out of their comfort zones as some home truths hit them between the eyes. His use of humour and animated style of delivery also went down very well".
