Description:
'Debra is the youg lady who carried on rowing alone across the Atlantic when her husband, a 6 ft 5” experienced oarsman, left the boat after developing an uncontrollable fear of the ocean. Debra, who was loving life at sea in a 23 foot plywood boat, saw no reason to stop and rowed on to become the youngest and only the third woman in the world to have rowed an ocean solo. Debra’s overwhelming positivity and ‘go for it’ attitude is 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.'
"Debra was excellent and drew great praise from all of my colleagues for which I am still being congratulated today so I am of course taking all of the credit in making the selection of Debra. My problem now is though that I have to do it again next year! In the meantime will you please pass on my gratitude to Debra for a first class presentation yesterday, interesting, provocative, dynamic and emotive but above all else inspirational." Ian Drysdale, Kent Police |
