What a privilege it was to hear Deanna share an inspiring breakout session about baggage. It was insightful, authentic, funny, and pragmatic. Deanna’s sincerity and love for the Lord are truly evident, and I felt as though she was speaking directly to me as she ministered. Highly recommend!

We always look forward to hearing Deanna speak! Deanna is so warm and personable. She has a way of relating to every age group...from children to seniors...through her personal stories and her sharing of scripture. Deanna is very engaging, but her message is for Jesus and her desire is always to help us walk closer to Him, to be the best person we can be. Her love for Christ and His people always shines through!

I had the pleasure of hearing the dynamic Deanna Young as the keynote speaker at an annual Women in Philanthropy luncheon. Deanna was engaging from start to finish. She is gifted at effortlessly sharing stories that make you laugh one minute and wipe tears the next, all woven together in a cohesive theme. The women at the luncheon all walked away inspired and uplifted. Her talents would be a great fit for any key note address, breakout session or group gatherings.

I have had the pleasure of experiencing Deanna as a speaker on a number of occasions. Most recently, she spoke at the Women's Christ Renews His Parish Group at my parish on the topic of Making a Difference to Someone Every Day. Deanna has a wonderful talent of being able to identify simple ways to make positive and lasting differences to others on a day-to-day basis, as well as the ability to enable others to do the same. Her energy and passion to help others is contagious in the delivery of her message. Deanna also facilitated a retreat for the women of my extended family in which we were challenged to deepen our resolve to become more - more of the person God envisioned we would be when He created us. Through Deanna's fun, free-spirited leadership and communication style, all in attendance were inspired and empowered to take on the challenge.

Deanna Young is an inspiring motivational speaker. She is organized and offers personal anecdotes as she speaks. Deanna personalizes her presentations for her different audiences and incorporates meaningful scripture. Deanna is dynamic and purposeful in her delivery, using humor as well as dramatic effect. She is warm, welcoming, appreciative, and creative. Deanna frequently uses props for emphasis. She always prepares for her presentations; she knows how much time she is allotted and familiarizes herself with her audiences. All leave Deanna's presentations feeling like they have made a lifelong friend, and truly, they have! I'm a little prejudiced because I have known Deanna since she was a child, was her teacher, and have remained a friend. Even if I am biased, I believe everyone can benefit from Deanna's passion and compassion, her energy and encouragement, and her many inspiring and genuine messages.

Contracting Deanna as our keynote speaker for our 13th Annual Women in Philanthropy Luncheon was a great investment. As Deanna spoke you could feel the energy in the room ramp up with each story or antidote she shared. By the end of her speech, the confidence level of every woman in attendance was raised one notch. Everyone left the event knowing that they had the power to leave a lasting, positive impact upon their community, and they had the tools needed to start their own acts of kindness. Deanna’s address reinvigorated the Women in Philanthropy Luncheon, attendance is up and donations to the Women and Children Fund have increased. Mission accomplished!
