Soft power is the ability to shape the preferences of others through appeal and attraction. Deya has taken this international political term to show women how using soft power as a tool and tactic can enhance their communication skills, emotional intelligence, physical, spiritual, professional and personal lives.
Based upon Deya’s latest book, Soft is the New Power, which continues to receive rave reviews. This talk will address how many successful and ambitious career driven women for various reasons have fallen into the trap of minimizing their feminine energy while maximizing a more hardened masculine energy to survive or succeed. And as a result, often become ineffective, emotionally exhausted and unavailable. As an answer to this challenge, Deya shows women the benefits of embracing soft power as a strategic approach to self-care, effective communication, negotiation, and attracting healthy relationships and success.

Based upon her #1 Amazon Bestseller Failure into Fuel, Deya takes her audience on a dramatic journey to teach them how to leverage shame, fear, guilt, loss and more as lessons and tools to help reshape one’s life.
Before you can take your life to the next level, you must first come to terms with areas of your life where fear and failure reside that have kept you stagnated and stuck.
Deya’s personal testimony is powerful and life-changing. She will take you on a journey of how she almost lost it all, but reclaimed her life and soared instead; providing you with hope and actionable-steps to leverage each experience to fuel your growth.

Deya Direct truly has a calling for helping women help themselves! In true "girlfriend" fashion, she reminds you of the value that you bring to the table and how you should approach dealing with the VIPs in your life. Be it your boss or your boo, you'll be reassured of what to do. Thank you for living your purpose and for helping me and others to do so as well.

What can I say to describe this woman? I am a person who has a wealth of experience and knowledge but sometimes you just get in a rut. In those moments, you need someone who can give you sound and wise counsel without judgment and remind you of all those little pieces of wisdom you share with everyone else. Deya is straight forward and empathetic and still keeping you focused. She can hear what you are going through and ask the right questions to pull you through it. It's like talking to a girlfriend but completely therapeutic! She is my go-to and everyone should experience vulnerable, trusted, and open guidance. She is highly recommended, in my book!

I've had 2 coaching sessions with Deya Direct so far and both have been extremely helpful in the work I'm doing to deal with current relationship issues. She has a really great knack for drawing me out and getting me to a place where I can assess how I'm self-sabotaging. I'm looking forward to continuing the work and would recommend her to anyone seeking coaching.
