About
Deborah Dickinson is a motivational speaker for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Twenty years of promotions, ending in a General Manager's chair in an industry where the other GMs were men, and then the realisation that it had been the wrong mountain the whole time. Deborah Dickinson is a Maori woman who turned that, along with real loss and a hard reinvention, into the Deliberately Living YOU framework. She speaks to women about identity, fear, self-doubt and the barriers that hold them back at work, and the talks are shaped to whichever format you need: keynote, workshop or a seat on a panel. Topics stretch across women in leadership, moving from a corporate role to something you chose, resilience, and finding your way back to yourself. She works out of Melbourne and takes virtual bookings.
The show
The format bends to the booking. Deborah delivers a keynote where you need one speaker holding the room, runs a workshop where the audience has to do the thinking themselves, or takes a chair on a panel. Whichever it is, the message gets pitched at that particular audience. Deliberately Living YOU covers aligning with purpose and designing the life you actually want. The Feminine Warrior Mindset goes at fear, limiting beliefs and self doubt. From Corporate to Calling deals with career shifts, leadership and personal growth. Women in Leadership looks at the barriers and at leading as yourself rather than a version of someone else. And Resilience and Reinvention turns hard experience into the thing you draw on.
