Schedule Derek to motivate and inspire for your next event: In person or virtually.

"Derek shared a powerful message that pushed me to consider how to 'niche down until it hurts.' I've put that off because of equal parts fear and ignorance on how to move forward. Derek gave me a blueprint for defining my niche and gave me the confidence I needed to boldy declare, 'This is who I serve.'"

"Derek is passionate about sharing his experiences and allowing others to build from them. His determination to help others in a way that fits their needs is unwavering."

“I recently had the pleasure of listening to Derek speak in Nashville. I learned so much about his talk on clarity and focus and I walked away from his talk with actionable steps that I could implement straight away."

"Last night I attended a seminar at our college and Mr. Champagne was our guest speaker. I was so inspired and motivated with everything he had to say! By the morning after Derek’s presentation on leadership, I already had multiple attendee emails sharing with me about the inspiration they drew from the stories and insights he shared with us during his motivational lecture. Our audience resonated with the authentic delivery and realistic look at both the challenges and opportunities available to those who follow the adventures available on the paths of entrepreneurship/leadership."

“I have been attending Continuing Education presentations now for forty-three years. I found the course material and presentation style by Derek Champagne to be the most interesting, informative, and enjoyable presentation that I have… ever attended in my career… and the subject was of something that I thought that I had very little interest in until today! I definitely plan to see Derek speak again the next time he is speaking at our event."

"Derek Champagne was our guest lecturer on Marketing & Social Media at our Fall seminar. While there are many general marketing experts, Derek stands out with his experience working in a variety of industries. He received high marks from attendees and we have invited him to speak at our next conference as well."
