In the last two years, in between walks, Derek has been travelling to communities around the world presenting "Just One Step", a multi-media presentation with storytelling. Derek is a motivational speaker who helps to inspire and empower individuals to look within for the ability to create change in the world.
For Just One Step, we have posters, handbills, and promotional packages available. All you need to do is to provide a space for 50- 100 people, a large screen, and to contact friends in your area.
If you would you like to have Derek as a stirring speaker for your group, please contact Carolyn Affleck, Events coordinator.

I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need.
I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you.
Let us work together for unity and love.

You are the people who are shaping a better world.
One of the secrets of inner peace is the practice of compassion.
