Possessing a quick wit and incredible energy, Dini Petty is a brilliant conversationalist with a grace and sense of fun that is hard to resist. She is familiar to Canadian viewers through her ten years as host of the highly successful national daily talk show on CTV  "The Dini Petty Show". At City TV Dini set precedents as the award-winning anchor of Toronto’s City-TV and hosted an innovative talk show that set Canadian broadcast records for size of its viewing audience.

Although Dini makes success look easy, she has had her share of struggles. In her recent publication, A Self-Directed Journey and now through her presentations, Dini shares the story of her discovery of inner strength. She shows audiences how to get back in touch with their own instincts, increasing self-confidence and self-esteem.

Best known for her ten years as the charismatic host of her own talk show, Dini has received four Gemini Award nominations, several CanPro Awards, and the Iris Award from the National Association of Television Programming Executives for best international show. She has been featured in Dare to Dream, a Canadian book of inspirational women. Currently, Dini is the host of the Heart & Stroke Health Show broadcast weekly on Global.

Dini became the spokesperson for an International Aid Organization encouraging Canadians to sponsor children in third world countries. Dini hosted a documentary that was centered around her trip to Romania to meet her sponsored child. The documentary-infomercial quickly became the single most successful fundraiser Christian Children’s Fund has ever done.

Her Children’s Book – an epic poem entitled The Queen, The Bear and The Bumblebee has been translated in three languages. There is also a musical version being created by The Children’s Group.

Dini is a spokesperson for Amnesty International, the Canadian infomercial she hosted to raise funds and increase membership has became one of their most successful ever in Canada and the USA.

PRESENTATION TOPICS >>>

The SUCCESS OF FAILURE

For every mountain climber that reaches the top there are thousands who never make it, many who died in the attempt, and millions of us who can’t figure out why any one would even bother? For every Gold Medal Athlete, there are millions who had the dream and never made it to the podium, the NHL, the Oscars or the top of anything. Yet these are the dreams we live on, sell to our children and judge our lives by. Most of us never talk about, or teach the lessons of failure, nor did we learn them. In fact , we never mention the word, were too busy driving ourselves and our children on to achievement, excellence and winning.

If failure is by definition: "The condition or fact of not achieving the desired end or ends." Perhaps failure is just nature’s way of telling you , your on the wrong path, your desired end or ends are not what you think they are. Because failure is an intrinsic part of life , maybe its necessary, and maybe we learn more from it than winning, getting the award, making a one minute speech and getting of the stage.

If we judge our lives only by the number of home runs we hit, few of us will ever win. In baseball, if you are hitting 500, which nobody is, your automatically in the hall of fame and this means that every other time your at bat you strike out . In our personal lives, if we strike out at every other thing we try, we definitely don’t put ourselves in a hall of fame. We believe we are losers . Get discouraged, depressed and often give up. We have grown up in a society that fosters winning, excellence and millionaires. There’s nothing wrong with any of those things, except that we seem to miss completely, the reality of life. We all fail, at many things, get our hearts broken, our dreams shattered, lied to, cheated, fired and dumped on. It’s just the way life works. If you understand this, and learn how to get up when your face down in the mud, yet again, you’ve learned success through failure.

Experience is the name you give your mistakes and with a little luck, (opportunity meeting preparation), the next time the golden ring goes by, you won’t be lying there crying and miss it, you’ll be standing there cleaning off the mud, waiting for it.

A BROAD VIEW (1 Woman Show)

There are few women whose life journey takes you where Dini Petty has been. She draws audiences into her personal universe making them laugh, cry and occasionally gasp with her honest, true from life stories.

Truth with humor is the key to her storytelling and there are so many stories. At age 22 Dini became the first woman in the world to fly a helicopter and broadcast from it, then onto CITY TV, where Dini was one of the originals of the precedent setting CITYPULSE News team, whose format has been copied the world over. She then moved to the studios of CTV where she hosted Canada’s record setting talk show Dini, for ten years. A poet at heart, her award winning book and CD, The Queen the Bear and the Bumblebee, has been translated into three languages so far. These are the things that has made Dini a Canadian icon.

"There are so many stories from the ridiculous to life threatening that my biggest challenge was which ones to tell! This personal odyssey is a look back into a journey of self discovery, through good times , painful times and moments of terror.

"Not everyone believed. There were those who laughed and ridiculed, believing I would never amount to much." But in the end the story is one audiences across the country have found fascinating, inspiring and very down to earth.
