How to Engage Denise:
An Intentional Three-Step Approach
Strategic. Intentional. High-Impact.
Denise “DT” Thomas is a sought-after keynote speaker, leadership strategist, and executive communication coach whose work sits at the intersection of leadership, culture, and human connection. To ensure every engagement is thoughtful, aligned, and impactful, we follow a clear, intentional engagement process.
STEP 1: DETERMINE FIT AND INTENT
Denise partners with both individuals and organizations who are ready to invest in meaningful leadership and communication growth, whether through 1:1 coaching or a larger leadership experience.
Before moving into proposal development or scheduling next steps, we ask prospective clients to confirm:
- Clarity around goals and desired outcomes
- Alignment with decision-makers or sponsors (when applicable)
- Awareness of any HR, Talent, or Compliance considerations (for organizational engagements)
- Budget ownership or approval pathways, as appropriate
This approach respects everyone’s time and ensures the experience is thoughtfully aligned with your goals and broader strategy.
STEP 2: SCHEDULE AN EXPLORATORY CONVERSATION
When scheduling an exploratory conversation, you’ll be prompted to complete a brief engagement readiness questionnaire. Once your responses are reviewed and readiness is confirmed, you’ll receive a confirmation and calendar placeholder including the Zoom meeting details.
- Understand your goals and context
- Identify alignment with leadership or culture priorities
- Clarify scope and outcomes
- Confirm alignment and expectations
- Determine the best engagement structure
STEP 3: RECEIVE A CUSTOM PROPOSAL AND EXPLORATORY CONVERSATION
Following our exploratory conversation, Denise will develop a customized proposal aligned with:
- Your leadership strategy
- Audience needs
- Organizational priorities
- Design recommendations that truly fit your organization
