Most professional speakers arrive at an event, speak for one hour, mingle with the audience and shake a few hands. Then quickly leave for their next speaking gig. This drive-by keynote approach is not Dr. Linnda Durré’s style. She takes time to understand her client’s needs.
As President of the Oklahoma Business Ethics Consortium’s Tulsa Chapter, we scheduled Linnda to speak six months in advance for our January 2013 luncheon. The topic of her talk was “Dealing with Toxic People at Work.” Linnda arrived in Tulsa one day before the event to acclimate herself to the venue. She also insisted I review her PowerPoint slides to make sure she effectively delivered what we expected. Nobody does that! She also stated several times her goal was to make our organization look good for booking her as a speaker.
Dr. Durré delivered on that promise!
From the moment she took the stage, Linnda connected with the audience, told interesting stories and expertly covered the topic, plus handled a few questions at the end of her talk. The energy in the audience was very high and tangible. Even better, our members returned to work with information they could use immediately.
Her speech also qualified for one unit of continuing education credit for all participants as a result of her 50- minute talk, clever PowerPoint slides and a professionally crafted handout. Prior to her arrival, Linnda worked closely with our Public Relations Chair. As a media savvy professional herself, Linnda agreed to pre-tape a segment at WESH TV, the NBC Affiliate in Orlando, in cooperation with KJRH TV, Tulsa’s NBC affiliate. This piece ran one-week prior to the event, an important pre-event strategy to attract guests. On the morning of the event, Linnda appeared on Good Day Tulsa at KTUL TV, Tulsa’s ABC affiliate. She was also willing to be interviewed twice by the Tulsa World.
Linnda’s expert knowledge of the subject matter, precise delivery and warm personality create a winning combination on the public relations front. Linnda’s spirit of cooperation and pursuit of excellence attracted close to 200 luncheon guests, with many corporate tables booked by Google, ONEOK, Williams Companies, Bama, WPX Energy, plus many other large organizations.
My final comment to Linnda was, “If this had been the Super Bowl, you scored the game winning touchdown!” We high-fived each other as she returned to the Tulsa Airport. Mission accomplished!

Author and psychotherapist Linnda Durre refers to toxic bosses and co-workers as “staff infections.” Some of the signs your job is infected is if you regularly deal with teammates who are verbally abusive and generally difficult to deal with, the people you work with are incompetent, and your human resources department is unresponsive when you ask for help. Here are a few ways to cope with the madness until you find your next gig.
