Speaker Bios

Deidra J. McClellandDeidra is the President of The Skye Group, a firm she started to bring value and energy to those struggling in the weird world of marketing and communications. Deidra got her start with an internship during graduate school with The Kellogg Company, got a brief primer in how cornflakes are made and learned to bring the thinking of “process” to work. She then moved on to The Amway Corporation, where she learned not only the importance of soap, but how a company fills a space globally.

After the manufacturing world, Deidra found herself in health care for the next 13 years of her career. In her health care roles, she focused on integrating web, internal communications and internal and external

marketing, tying it all into operations, all the while taking into consideration of how all of it impacted the patient. Deidra brought her years of experience and learning together during her stint at mmpc®, overseeing marketing and communications for all of its 300+ providers, 60 offices at 30 locations.

She realized she could bring this knowledge and experience to more people, The Skye Group was born. It was a good day. Deidra is able to provide guidance and expertise those who realize that they need to do something and struggle where to start and where to spend their time and money most effectively. That’s where The Skye Group soars.

Deidra received her undergraduate degree from Central Michigan University, her master’s degree from Western Michigan University and has completed PhD coursework at Western Michigan University. Deidra was a 2012 Athena Grand Rapids nominee, sits on the board of Grand Rapids Opportunities for Women (GROW) and volunteers for Kent County Girls on the Run-LUNAFEST Committee.

When she isn’t helping the overwhelmed and overworked business owner, she enjoys spending time with friends, figuring out how to travel to warm destinations as much as possible during Michigan winters and giving love to her two mutts, Mabel and Lucy.

Joshua C. RichmondJoshua C. Richmond is currently the Director of Membership & Political Fundraising for the Michigan State Medical Society. A 2001 graduate of Michigan State University, Joshua has spent the last thirteen years working at MSMS, first as a field representative recruiting physicians to join MSMS and most recently lobbying on behalf of physicians both in Lansing and Washington D.C. In January of 2012, Joshua was put in charge of the MSMS membership department, but will still have a hand in the political efforts of MSMS, including running the Michigan Doctors’ Political Action Committee.

Greg PetersHave you ever felt a little “reluctant” when it comes to networking? Greg Peters understands. A computer programmer by training, he was the original reluctant networker. Through study, practice, and lots of trial and error, he has been able to transform himself into a true networking professional, using the skills he learned to build a thriving Web development business.

Now, as the founder of The Reluctant Networker, LLC, Greg coaches individuals, trains staff, and presents to associations and other groups on how to get past their reluctance and start building better connections and stronger networks. He is a professional member of the National Speakers Association and the author of the audio program “Calm, Cool, and Connected at the Networking Event”.

Andy CoreAndy Core has a master’s degree in the science of human performance and has spent the last 16 years mastering the art of inspiring people to become energized, healthy, motivated and better equipped to thrive in today’s hectic society. His “research scientist meets standup comic” style gives audiences the proprietary information and inspiration needed to accomplish more at work, live healthy, and still have a life.
