Deborah Dickinson

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.
