Exciting, charismatic, and captivating are some of the common words used to describe Deborah Deras and her memorable keynote speeches, dynamic workshops and interactive presentations. Deras is an international speaker, life coach, and author of Confessions of an Adrenaline Addict: How to Achieve More with Less Effort.

After the death of her brother, David, at the age of 16, Deborah began to go down a dark road of excess. She almost didn’t graduate from high school due to the stress of her parents’ divorce. At the age of 19, she moved out on her own and enrolled in a community college. Overcoming financial challenges along the way, Deborah put herself through graduate school. Through all the trials and tribulations, the spirit of her brother’s courage, and her mission to empower and inspire people kept her focused and on purpose.

Deborah earned a Masters Degree in Counseling with a Minor in Special Education. She also holds the National Certification as a Rehabilitation Counselor (CR.C). For over a decade, Deras has instructed classes at the University of Phoenix on popular subjects such as Diversity; Communication Skills; Case/Time Management; and Theories of Human Development.
