BIO
During her 17-year stint as a weekly humor columnist, Deb DiSandro discovered the Slightly Off philosophy which lead to her success as professional speaker, author, writing coach, instructor and purseologist. After years of striving for perfection and failing, she learned to let go of the “super syndrome” and found a more fun and realistic way to achieve her goals and dreams. By adopting her Slightly Off Success Principles, she has helped audiences and individuals achieve the same results for close to two decades.
As the leading expert in the field of purseology, Deb utilizes the power of the purse to help women both professionally and personally improve their health and achieve greater success. She created and produced two shows which she performed in the Chicago area:

She has been interviewed on many radio and television stations across the country and was a spokesperson for Hillshire Farm, in which she served up a delicious blend of sausage and humor on network television in select markets.

As a creative writing instructor and coach for 20 years, Deb has produced writing programs which she has presented on-line and at conferences throughout the U.S. She was a presenter for the Erma Bombeck’s Writer’s Conference, National Society of Newspaper Columnists, Green Lake Writer’s Conference, UW-Madison Writer’s Conference and many more.
