Attendees describe DeDe’s presentations as “Thought provoking, engaging and emotionally impactful.” After not singing or performing for over 20 years, DeDe’s dedication to setting big goals, saying yes instead of no, using regret and redefining past failure, landed her on the biggest stage of her life. Standing in front of 48,000 people, DeDe sang the National Anthem for the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. (This honor is only offered to a very select group of singers; past invitees include Kristin Chenoweth, James Taylor, and Billy Joel). Additionally, DeDe’s powerful story and ability to entertain while giving audiences the strategies to step into their own spotlight of success, has earned her the privilege to share the stage with many celebrities, entertainers, and thought leaders throughout the country.
