About
Deborah J Tyson is a business speaker for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Deborah Tyson founded Blisspot and speaks on wellbeing, stress and how teams hold together under pressure. Her keynotes run 60 to 75 minutes and pull from research as much as from lived experience, with titles like From Stress To Success, Awaken Your Inner Power, Leading With Empathy and Building Resilient Teams. Half-day and full-day workshop formats exist for leadership retreats and professional development days. She'll ask about your audience and your theme first, so the talk arrives shaped to the event rather than pulled off a shelf. Audiences leave with something they can actually use on Monday. Public liability and professional indemnity insurance both held. Sydney based, and she takes international work.
The show
Deborah asks about your audience before she writes a word. Who's in the room, what the event is trying to do, what theme it's been built around. The keynote then arrives shaped to that rather than pulled off a shelf. She draws on research and on her own experience in roughly equal measure, and the point of the talk is that people leave with something they can put to use on Monday morning, not just a good feeling that fades by the car park.
On the day
For audio she'd like a wireless lapel mic for mobility, a handheld as backup and for questions from the floor, a PA that suits the room, and a monitor so she can hear herself. Visually, a screen or projector the whole audience can see, an HDMI connection for her laptop and a clicker for slides. She'll want the stage well lit from the front and clear enough to move around. A quiet room near the stage to prepare in, water on hand, and an AV technician available through setup and the event itself.
Performance options
The signature keynote suits conferences, corporate events and wellness summits, and runs 60 to 75 minutes with a consultation beforehand to tailor it, a short question and answer session afterwards and a digital resource pack for everyone who attended. There's a workshop format as well, either half a day or a full day, built for leadership retreats, team building and professional development. That one starts with a needs assessment, runs interactive exercises on stress, team communication and emotional intelligence, and sends people away with toolkits and follow up materials. For executive teams there's a longer engagement across multiple days or an ongoing program.
