Debra's Speech Themes

Debra’s most popular keynote is ‘Choose Your Attitude!’, in which she shares the story of her remarkable solo row across the Atlantic following her former husband’s premature departure from their small wooden boat. Debra speaks from the heart and with great humour about her personal journey, the strategies she used to keep going and that she now uses in her business life to help illustrate, in a very human way, what we are all capable of. Some key themes are:

  • Choose Your Attitude – It’s not magic, it’s mindset
  • Practical tools for pushing yourself outside your comfort zone and building resilience
  • Mindset strategies for not just coping but excelling during periods of change
  • Personal motivation ideas for when the journey only seems to be getting harder
  • Teamwork - even when miles apart
  • Achieving seemingly impossible goals
  • How to guard your mental and physical wellbeing when the pressure is on
