I was fortunate to be given Delee Fromm’s name as a possible speaker for an upcoming women’s event we were hosting at Rotman School of Management for the Executive MBA students and alumni.  From the first moment I made contact with Delee, I knew she would be a powerful speaker and presenter of gender bias issues in the business world.  With her unique background in both law and psychology, she is able to bring forward the art and science of how to approach and navigate the challenges we all face in our day to day lives.  Both entertaining and knowledgeable, Delee is at the top of her game and a trusted expert in this field.

Delee makes an impact wherever she goes and has a positive affect on everyone she meets. I have attended numerous interactive sessions that Delee has conducted for the members of Young Women in Law and have observed first-hand the difference she makes in the lives of the participants and specifically my own career. She has presented on such topics as networking, negotiation skills, recognizing gender bias and using social intelligence for success. Delee is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, inspiring and passionate;  her experience as a psychologist, author and lawyer enables her to help women recognize issues and opportunities that many were not even aware were present. She is a fantastic coach and has been a wonderful source of support for YWL. I highly recommend working with Delee in any capacity.

The Ryerson Law Practice Program is an Ontario licensing program that prepares law graduates for licensing. We collaborated with Delee to create a helpful series of online presentations and resources, based on her years of experience in law and coaching and based on her earlier book, Advance Your Legal Career: Essential Skills for Success.  Through these resources and associated exercises, our Candidates developed their skills and competencies in the areas of clear and confident communications; listening skills and non-verbal communication; and conducting effective presentations.  Throughout our engagement with her, Delee was professional, knowledgeable and sought to always better understand our program requirements and adapted her own learning and style towards our needs.  She was also, quite simply, a delight to work with as an individual.

Delee’s insights into negotiation in a gendered context are invaluable. I have found her ability to pinpoint how to move forward as a lawyer using the best negotiation skills possible very helpful in terms of smart career moves.

After six years in the business world, I sold my online company and was seeking coaching on returning to the practice of law.  Delee’s advice and mentorship was invaluable in helping me secure the position I was looking for and in the field I wanted.  Returning to a firm after 6 years as an entrepreneur was more difficult than I expected.  Delee was a constant support.  She always picked up the phone.  She always replied to my email.  She helped me gain my confidence and set myself up for my best performance as a lawyer.  I will owe much to her and her latest book as I embark on my new career.

Delee is a brilliantly talented and experience coach in the areas of leadership, conflict and negotiation. As a senior executive and woman in the business world, her coaching has had a significant impact on how I view and demonstrate my leadership skills.

Kerry O’Hare, Senior VP, Controller, Oxford Capital Partners, Inc.

Delee has provided me with personal coaching and also led a professional development training for a mentorship program I run for women. In all my interactions she was professional, personable and provided good value. I could not have been a more satisfied client. Delee not only has a deep working knowledge of women and negotiation but she delivers the information with a sense of humour accompanied by colourful anecdotes. She did all of this while being a good listener, gracefully handling all questions and encouraging discussion. And I found her interest and commitment didn’t stop when the session ended. I would highly recommend Delee as either a coach or as a trainer.
