Dan Deeble
Public Speaking
Dan Deeble is an impact communicator and has been a keynote speaker, trade show panelist, conference host, podcast guest and host, commencement speaker, fundraising inspirer, radio and TV guest, and he gives a mean pre-game speech.
Passion Topics
Below are just a few of the topics that Dan loves to speak on. He also enjoys the challenge of writing new talks that directly meet the need of your business, association, church, or event.
Relationships
Dan developed a popular series of talks on healthy, thriving relationships called LOVE(MATH). This series combines deep relational truths with really bad math to offer life-changing results.
Finding Your Lost Ball
Addressing deep questions of identity, meaning, purpose, past pain, feeling stuck, and how it all relates back to losing that ball in the backyard.
Play, Wonder, & Curiosity
Our world needs to learn how to play again. In this talk, Dan describes how wonder can be rediscovered from contemplating the multiverse to drinking from a doggie bowl.
RACIAL HEALING
Dan has a passion to address two questions that can persist from within his own subculture, “Why can’t we just move on?” and “What does this have to do with me?” This talk addresses our painful reality while offering hope for a new way. True to his style, Dan courageously engages in this controversial topic with thoughtful insights, his own confessions, redemptive vision, and even a touch of appropriate whimsy.
FOSTER & ADOPTION
The Deebles adopted their oldest daughter from China when she was 10 months old, while also celebrating the birth of two biological daughters just months before and months after. That’s right. They went from zero children to three babies in just fourteen months. This talk addresses the mystery, pain, joy, hilarity, exhaustion, and beauty of loving beyond your bloodline.
GENEROSITY
The happiest people are the most generous. Few argue this, but far less aspire to follow their example. What’s their secret sauce? Dan answers these questions through stories and insights from his own personal challenges and from the inspiring stories of others. This talk will motivate you and your community towards a way of living that leads to greater happiness, richer relationships, satisfying purpose, and– in a word– freedom.

Mercer ZimmermanDan never fails to captivate his audience...
Having booked speakers from across the country for over 20 years (such as Brené Brown, Steve Wozniak, Simon Sinek, and John Mackey), I was thrilled to have Dan Deeble present at our largest annual event.
Dan has a unique talent for grabbing attention while offering meaningful insights. He makes a genuine effort to understand and engage with his audience. Every time I hear him speak, no matter the topic, I always come away with something invaluable.

Executive Director
Helzberg Entrepreneurial Mentoring Program
Over the past two years, our company has had the privilege of working with Dan on multiple occasions. He served as the keynote speaker at our annual meeting, delivering an inspiring talk on 'Being Intentional: Living with Purpose and Passion'. He also played a pivotal role in our three-year strategic planning session and later guided us through the process of updating our 10 core values. In every interaction, I have witnessed Dan's giftings in action.
Dan is a dynamic and engaging speaker who resonates with large audiences, and at the same time, he has the ability to connect with smaller, core groups of company leaders, guiding them toward consensus. His detailed preparation, including in-depth Q&A sessions, ensuring that no detail is overlooked before the main event.
One of Dan's greatest strengths is his ability to listen actively. He asks thoughtful questions that encourage people to open up and share their true thoughts and feelings. With this insight, he is able to summarize the information and help teams of leaders align on key actions. As a faith-based organization, we especially appreciate Dan's ability to weave our mission and values into a message that reflects our beliefs.
Thank you, Dan, for your outstanding leadership and guidance over the past two years!

Dan is a gifted communicator with a wealth of insight, but it's the humility and authenticity he brings to the stage that connect with our audience. As an event organizer, he is extremely easy to work with and I know our event is better because he is a part of it. Dan is trustworthy, professional, and talented. It is an honor to recommend Dan as a speaker.

RE: Conference
I lead a large church in the Kansas City area that gives me the pick of excellent communicators from around the country to share the load of inspiring folks in their faith journey.
I choose Dan for as many Sundays as he will give me. Dan not only has a deep, authentic love for God, and can preach a message that captivates, he has a passion for teaching others to do the same. I am a student of Dan's and highly recommend him to you.
