My book, That’s Not What I Said, is the playbook for mastering conflict with conversational competence.

Speaking & Consulting

​Keynotes. Workshops. Strategy. Transformation that Sticks.

You don’t bring me in for “motivation.” You bring me in for transformation.

I combine frameworks like DARE (Describe. Acknowledge. Review. Engage.) and the MINE Method with humor, hard truth, and actionable strategies that audiences remember long after the event is over.

The Audacity Broker® | 5x TEDx Speaker | CEO of ExecuPrep |

Author of That’s Not What I Said

I’m Dethra Giles, and I believe audacity changes everything. Audacity is what turns leaders into legends, conversations into culture shifts, and careers into corner-office success stories.

For over two decades, I’ve been the secret weapon behind Fortune 500 companies, championship teams, government agencies, and executives who refuse to settle for “business as usual.” As the CEO of ExecuPrep, I’ve helped organizations worldwide unlock the three things every company needs to thrive: Performance. Productivity. Profits.

Atlanta Gas Light & Chattanooga Gas Company

​I needed help motivating my team and we brought in Dethra to speak to the team. We expected motivation but we did not expect for the staff to still talking about the meeting a month later. They are still asking for more. The staff talks about how they were motivated to work better, harder and build a better life. If you want your people motivated by a person that has a passion and skill for growing people and organizations to achieve the most effective results, Dethra is your person. We had her present virtually but we cannot wait to bring her back for a face-to-face session and give her more time.
