Conversations that empower you
on topics that aren’t talked about enough
If you value transparency, real conversation, and someone who will ask the questions others shy away from, you’re in the right place. As a speaker and moderator, I focus on the untold stories the world needs to hear—and
I always give my audience ways to take action
I’m available for corporate workshops, author Q&As, brand speaker series and more.
I speak frequently about women’s empowerment, DEI, motherhood and entrepreneurship, and actively seek out events that foster community and a sense of belonging for marginalized communities.

How I Show Up For Your Event
Keynote
I deliver keynotes rooted in real entrepreneurial experience and personal storytelling — built around your audience, not a generic script. Topics span entrepreneurship, women in leadership, social impact, DEI, and navigating crisis.
Moderation & Fireside Chats
I do the prep work that makes panels feel like real conversations. Pre-event calls with every panelist, custom questions, and live facilitation that draws out the unexpected moments your audience remembers.
Workshops
Interactive 2–4 hour sessions for teams, students, and organizations ready to go deeper. Participants leave with actionable strategies, not just inspiration — built around your specific goals.
“Deepti Sharma possesses a unique ability to make a conversation in a room 50 people deep, feel like a girl’s night at your bestie’s.”
I worked with Deepti on a panel event for Six Degrees Society where we tackled the delicate topic of working motherhood. Deepti performed beyond expectations as the moderator of our panel. Not only did she bring great energy and intention on the day of, but she went the extra mile and met with all of the panelists by phone and in person ahead of the event to ensure alignment and a really calm and comfortable atmosphere for everyone involved. The event got rave reviews. Would highly recommend Deepti as a speaker/panelist on an array of topics from motherhood to entrepreneurship and much more in-between!
