Laurel Green“Debra designed and facilitated our Chairs Council Retreat. Her expertise was apparent during our thorough planning discussions, and she helped me see which issues were priorities as she framed the strategy and flow for the day’s activities. She created a productive retreat experience and was complimented by the group on her knowledge and personable management style. Debra is an engaging leader who kept us on track and helped us achieve specific outcomes. I look forward to working with her again.”

Sheril Herman“Your talk was really inspiring to me. I even hung up your quote about “daily decisions” in my cubicle. As I looked at that quote daily, I reflected on “living by default” and how I was not being deliberate. This freed me to begin my journey toward my MBA. Thanks for all you do – you truly are making a difference.”
