Fireside Chat September 2025

Dr. Deanne de Vries tells stories for a living—whether she’s teaching, writing, speaking, or just baking cookies for friends. She loves living life in full color: climbing Everest Base Camp, hosting lively dinners, and diving into the “why” behind everything.
Her passport tells the story of a truly global life: 16 years in Africa, 8 in the Middle East, 6 in Europe, 5 in North America, and 1 in Asia. She brings that world of experience into her teaching and advising, turning complex ideas in business, leadership, politics, and culture into something clear, engaging, and relevant.
Faith, curiosity, and conversation are at the heart of everything she does. Deanne’s goal? To spark ideas, inspire growth, and make life—and work—a little more meaningful (and fun!).
