“I am not exaggerating when I say I could listen to Demet tell stories all day.
I had the pleasure of meeting Demet prior to the recent event she spoke at. I felt a personal connection to her immediately. She is a lovely woman with a heart for honesty and purpose.
During our INSPIRE conference she spoke about embracing change and the power of transformation. She is a commanding presence with her presentation style and her willingness to share vulnerable moments in her experiences. I consider myself lucky to know her and am eagerly awaiting my next opportunity to hear her speak again.”

“Working with Demet is truly transformative. She sees who you are, listens for the heart of your story, and helps you express it with clarity, presence, and emotional impact. Her coaching is personal, intentional, and deeply empowering.
Two weeks before my debut, I hit an emotional wall. Demet met me with compassion and helped me reconnect to my purpose.
On performance day, I stood before 550 people—grounded, clear, and fully present. What landed wasn’t just my story, but all of me. Demet doesn’t just coach—she amplifies your light and transforms how you show up. This experience changed the way I speak, lead, and see myself. What I gained is a treasure I’ll carry forward.”
