Dee is funny, witty, intelligent and on point! We were extremely lucky to have Dee as a panellist at our Inspiring Women’s luncheon and she engaged the entire room, connecting with a crowd from diverse backgrounds and skill sets. So many people commented to me later that she was their favourite panellist. Dee is not afraid to say it how it is, has an amazing and entertaining sense of humour and is extremely inspiring in all that she has achieved throughout her life. She speaks from the heart with great passion, and it comes naturally and effortlessly. I would highly recommend her for your next event!
