We selected Deanna to speak to our group because the subject of her talk, delegation, is extremely important to all small business owners. Most of our clients are new business owners and want to learn how to more quickly and effectively get things done, and work with employees and teams.

I thought Deanna’s talk was valuable because she gave great practical advice and tips that small business owners, at any revenue-level, can put to use immediately. Her suggestions are easily implemented and offer immediate benefits. Plus, she employs these strategies in her own business, so she can share great examples of their effectiveness.

This talk benefited our community because our clients need strategies that are easy to implement and cost-effective. Anyone can use Deanna’s tips and suggestions to streamline and improve their business processes.

The #1 thing I’ll remember from the talk is how the information and strategies she shared work with any income level, and are immediately employable.

If you’re trying to decide if Deanna’s is the right fit to speak at your event I’d say she is very personable, easy to relate to, and is an engaging speaker. She connects well with participants. Our participants walked away with a lot of useful tools and tips on how to improve their business.

Deanna was recommended to me as an expert for my podcast in the field of outsourcing and systemization of business processes. And I’m sure glad she was.

The concepts Deanna discussed can really free up a business owner’s time and Deanna’s training can really help business owners achieve the goals that they dream about when first deciding to start their own business.

Implementing Deanna’s principles will allay the fear of outsourcing non-core essential duties to others and my audience now have a better appreciation of an aspect of business that they know they should implement, but are reluctant – or fearful – to implement.

The #1 thing I’ll remember from Deanna’s appearance was the depth of her knowledge on this topic – the speed, confidence and level of detail that Deanna showed when answering my questions proved to me that she understands the topics of outsourcing and systemizing processes “inside out”.

Hurry up and get Deanna on your show – to delay is an injustice to your audience.

Thank you so much for the information and training you provided to my listeners – I know they will benefit from our discussion and your gift to them, as will I.

Thank you for being such a fantastic guest on the Startup Sessions podcast.

You were so great at delivering thoughtful responses to my questions and going where the interview took us.  You delivered actionable information my listeners could use right away. I don’t always get that – and I so appreciate it.

I can’t wait to have you back in the future.

“Thank you so much for a FABULOUS presentation! I love how much concrete information you covered.

Before I came to Deanna’s talk I wasn’t sure how to begin building my team. I’m opening a preschool and want to do it right the first time – I know that my team will make all the difference. But where to start?

During her talk I learned that there are intentional cues that I can use when crafting a job posting and that I can easily streamline my ‘weeding out’ process of applicants in order to find the perfect addition to my team.

I thought Deanna’s talk was valuable because I am new to business ownership and I really believe that having someone with such experience provide guidance is key to being successful.

The #1 thing I’ll remember from the talk is that each team member should add value to the business and take work off my plate – not add to it.

Deanna is intentional, engaging, and thought-provoking.

If you’re trying to decide if Deanna’s is the right fit to speak at your event I’d say Deanna can help. No matter how skilled you are as an individual, your team is an incredibly important aspect of your business. Harnessing that potential is critical.

Thanks Deanna!

I chose Deanna to speak to my audience because they struggle with working too much on things that are not bringing them joy or making them money, and I wanted them to hear what she had to say about delegating. They kept saying they can’t afford to delegate in their business or that they have to do everything themselves because nobody can do it better than they can.

Deanna’s talk gave my audience a wake up call around the importance of delegating and how they will have more time to spend with their family and doing the things they actually love to do.

She made a positive impact they’ll remember including her catch phrase “We can always make more money but we can never make more time.”

If you want your audience to learn about delegating, team building, and the logistics of how to do that AND you want a speaker with great energy and a positive attitude, Deanna’s your gal.

I loved my time with Deanna and you will too!
