Dee Caffari

"Fantastic! A great story, a great speaker and a great inspiration."

"Dee was fab – the audience thought she was great so thank you once again!"

"Dee was engaging, down to earth and warm hearted. Her presentation was extremely well received by our clients. Her description of the extraordinary challenges and her way of dealing with them was a lesson in perspective for us all."

"It was an absolute pleasure working with Dee. There was a real buzz around her appearing at our conference, and whilst she was on stage there was a Twitter storm raging in the background. She was extremely professional arriving early on-site for her briefing and her presentation was delivered with vigour and real passion – a rarity amongst speakers. The videos impacted her achievements and left our audience with a sense of awe and empowerment. We would definitely look to book her again in the future. Dee scored a whopping 9.2 which is superb, and some of the feedback comments are below: • Excellent to have non-finance yet globally applicable topic and speaker. • Excellent! • Impressive. • Inspiring! Important and eye-opening. • Wish I could give her an 11, she was amazing."

"A stunning success all round. Dee was amazing."

"The top-line stats for Dee were great – I was really pleased and she went down a treat with the audience. From the evaluation forms we received 94% rated her excellent, and the other 6% good. Dee was highlighted as the highlight of the conference by many people too. She was great and very engaging. Overall, really chuffed and a good recommendation – much appreciated."

"Everyone was just completely silent, listening with their jaws dropped: her talk was funny, interesting, relevant and the audience were captivated. Dee was quite happy to do question/answers completely unprepared and she engaged the audience in her after dinner talk."

"We were privileged to have Dee as the host for this year’s Skandia Team GBR British Sailing Team awards dinner, which, in such a landmark year for British sport, was a high profile occasion for all of our sailors, support team and key sponsors. She completely understood the tone we wished for from the evening, and took it all in her stride – she was entertaining, engaging and had a great rapport with our guests. I’d have no hesitation in considering Dee again for similar events."

"I have to say – Dee was TOTALLY brilliant. She gave an engaging and inspirational talk followed by lots of questions and answers. Our feedback forms rated Dee VERY highly indeed, in fact several of the delegates who presented on the following day made several references to Dee’s “wonderful talk”. I’m VERY happy – thanks a million."

"I just wanted to say that Dee went down a storm today, everyone loved her story and enjoyed meeting her. She is certainly an inspirational lady and we were lucky to have her speak to us today. Please could you thank her again and thank you for recommending her."

"Many thanks for the fantastic session last week at our global business council. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and everyone was completely inspired and energised by your open, honest and refreshing style and of course the critical lessons around team work, motivation and leadership that apply to everyone of us in our executive roles. A truly impressive and humbling presentation that went down a storm. Thanks again for a wonderful session."

"Please do pass on our enormous thanks to Dee following yesterday’s conference. Her presentation was motivational, relevant and spellbinding which, along with her natural and comfortable manner, made her a huge success with everyone! Having quickly looked at the evaluation forms completed yesterday – there are words and phrases like; Wow!, Inspiring, entertaining, advocate for collaboration, highlight of the day, Inspirational and very interesting."

"We were privileged to have Dee speak to a group of Telstra staff recently. Dee is a wonderful presenter and her practical can-do approach to tackling and succeeding in a world-class challenge was truly inspiring! The audience was spellbound. I don’t believe we have ever had so many people ask so many questions after a presentation, but Dee took it all in her stride and graciously answered each one with good humour and wit."

"Inspiring, motivating, engaging, clear. Very powerful indeed. Many people approached Dee both after the conference and at the evening event to congratulate her and to say how inspired they had been. It exceeded our already high expectations. It delivered an impact that left people motivated and upbeat. The ‘wow’ factor of the conference!"

"Excellent! Dee is very human and engaging. She really brought the challenges she faced on her voyage to life. All the people I spoke to were very impressed. In the plenary session one of the delegates said: “I looked at the programme and thought what in the world is a yachtswoman doing on the programme – what relevance does she have for me? I was wrong as she was really inspiring!” Ten out of ten for content, relevance, style and entertainment."

"Dee’s presentation was a wonderful and highly effective way to engage and inspire our employees about Aviva’s values of Teamwork, Integrity, Progressiveness, and Performance. Dee related her sailing adventures and communication skills to every day life and we could all learn from her experiences."

"Dee’s presentation is so relevant to today’s business environment. A fantastic lady! A very down-to-earth pragmatic person who has overcome a huge personal challenge to achieve the impossible: her passion is tangible. The Q&A session was particularly good."
