Testimonials for Deborah Thomas
Deborah’s talk “It Girls, from Kiki to Paris”, was most engaging, and reflected a great deal of thought and preparation. Your warm, chatty style really suited the format for Art After Hours.

Deborah Thomas has that rare ability to engage her audience from the onset, enlightening, witty and charming, she held Di’s audience in the palm of her hand. As editor of Australia’s most popular women’s magazine, she could be seen as unapproachable but Deborah’s down-to earth- manner is irresistible and thoroughly entertaining.

Deborah Thomas is a compelling and inspirational speaker. Her life's story is a fascinating one - from modelling high fashion to climbing to the top of Australia's publishing world. Deborah speaks with insight into life's challenges and peppers her commanding presentation with plenty of good humour. I hear many speakers, but few as entertaining and interesting as Deborah.
