Empowering Women of Color to Live a Dream Lifestyle™️!
I’m Deneen L. Garrett, Founder and CEO of Deneen Consults. I am a Women Motivational speaker and podcaster, host of Women of Color: An Intimate Conversation (An Intimate Conversation with Women of Color) Podcast. I specialize in helping women of color who want more out of life live boldly to create a dream life.
In January of 2021, I saw a tweet (don’t recall by whom) about going beyond Dream cars and Dream houses to pursuing a Dream Lifestyle. I was preparing to retire from a 20+ year career as a Diversity & Inclusion/Talent Development professional so this resonated with me. I chose “live” as my word for the year and “Live a Dream Lifestyle“ as my focus.
A Dream Life (style) is unique to each person. Using my 3 D’s, Dream, Decide, Drive led me to “travel”; the main component of “my” Living the Dream Life Dream Lifestyle. This consists of: Hopping on a plane to visit a museum. Meeting friends on an island. Spending a holiday abroad. Travel allows me new experiences such as connecting with people of different cultures, tasting their food and seeing as they do. Additionally, I love to attend events; concerts, museums, games locally and while traveling. This along with impacting the lives of others is what makes up my Dream Life.
Having worked alongside women who dedicated 20+ years of their lives to their jobs and families and doing little for themselves, I recognized many were delaying “living”. I was also saddened by a family member who retired then reentered the job force doing the very thing she disliked. I was compelled to launch Deneen Consults to empower women of color to Live a Dream Life NOW. Not tomorrow, not after the kids are grown, and not after retirement.
Whether that's finding joy in your work . Pursuing entrepreneurship. Spending your days volunteering. What is your dream life? Whatever you decide, I share the tools/mindset shifts/motivation to drive you towards YOUR Dream Life. Let's make your dream life reality!
