After Dinner Speakers - Female

Diane-Louise Jordan

Currently Diane is a regular face on Songs of Praise (one of the BBC's longest running programmes). At the start of her television career, Diane initially challenged boundaries by becoming the first black presenter on Blue Peter.

Diane is a single parent to daughter Justine, who she adopted in the wake of her sister's tragic death in 1988. Justine is the inspiration behind Diane's book entitled "How to Succeed as a Single Parent".

Diane's underlying passion to encourage, motivate and inspire all people to "be the best they can possibly be" means that she seizes every opportunity to engage with all, whatever the situation. An inspirational and motivating speaker.

Penny is excellent for motivational speaking and personal appearances.

Debra Veal

Debra packed an enormous amount into her 20's. Reading her CV is exhausting in itself! To add to her first class honours degree she has had entrepreneurial success with the launch of two limited companies, is a published author, has medals at World Championship level, is on the board of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, has successfully rowed solo across the Atlantic Ocean amongst other expeditions, works for the BBC as a presenter and has an MBE from the Queen.

Rowing the Atlantic
Debra was heralded "…Britain's latest sporting heroine." (The Times) when the media worldwide went crazy for the story of the 5ft 5" young lady who carried on rowing alone when her then husband, a 6ft 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.

The 3000 mile journey that was initially supposed to take 6 weeks took Debra a staggering 3 ½ months and saw her battling with 30 foot waves, force 8 squalls and sharks, while having to dodge tankers that came too close for comfort on more than a few occasions. Worse than all of this, however, was dealing with the loneliness and solitude, but focussing on one motto kept Debra going: "Choose your attitude" and she certainly did.
