... Yet she dared to believe and 111 days later she rowed into Port St Charles, Barbados, to a rapturous welcome from friends, family, supporters and the world's media.
"Now that I am back on dry land it is difficult to comprehend having spent that much time at sea in a plywood rowing boat. I must have been mad! But over time I have pinpointed the tools and techniques that made the difference between me jacking it all in and reaching my ultimate goal. These are tools that I have come to apply to all areas of my life - business, leisure time, home life, friendships, the choices I make and so on." DV
Not just a woman with an interesting story, Debra Searle is a successful business woman in her own right. Debra became Managing Director of her first company at the age of 23 with the launch of The Well Hung Art Company. Today she successfully runs two companies alongside a developing TV presenting career with the BBC.
Debra's overwhelming positivity and 'go for it' attitude are contagious, while her modesty is endearing. She regularly delivers both motivational presentations and after dinner speeches using her story to powerfully but subtly draw out key business and personal lessons.
Companies have benefited from Debra's delivery of themes such as 'mind tricks for success', 'goal setting and rewards', 'using visualisation to succeed', 'change management', 'enhanced colleague relationships', 'how to re-write your own history' and how to 'choose your attitude' no matter how impossible the end goal may seem. Debra powerfully illustrates with slides and stunning video footage and leaves her audience in no doubt of their own ability to achieve the extraordinary.
Furthermore, Debra sets herself apart from other speakers by her level of commitment to each project. Taking the time to ensure she fully understands the audience, conference themes and gathering company and industry specific information allows her to tailor her presentation to your exact requirements. This same level of commitment is carried through to the event where she makes every effort to speak to delegates on a one-to-one basis.
"We provided feedback forms to all participants and asked for a rating between 1 (poor) and 5 (excellent). We received 170 completed forms (60% of attendees) and Debra scored a '5' from every single respondent. This is unheard of! The comments were all super, for example - ' Best speaker I've heard at an IBM event - outstanding!' Deborah Evans, Client Director, IBM UK Ltd
