Gravitational field toward best self. Every visit from Debra has left our team in wonder. Her practices and warmth inspired us. Unlike any other coach I have ever met, Debra redefines the standard of care. She brings her full self to every interaction. The work... isn't easy. The journey.. is real. I am forever grateful to Debra for the impact she has and continues to create within our tribe.

I believe Vistage has been a very helpful group to be associated with. The people in the groups can help one achieve better clarity on issues and can help troubleshoot problems effectively as they are not in the middle of the situation (fighting the fire if you will). Debra has also been very helpful in the one-on-one sessions. She can switch between the higher-end "philosophy" one minute and into the details of an issue the next very effectively. She brings a considerable amount of positive energy to the group as well and I'm happy to be working with her.

It is very rare to meet someone like Debra. She is incredibly focused on helping others around her to be the absolute best version of themselves. I worked with Debra for many months during a big transitional time in my life when I left a company that I had owned for several years and started a new company. She helped me work through some of the indecision during this stressful time and throughout the months of working with her my purpose became more and more clear. She has a knack for helping people identify and ignite their true calling. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

I have worked with Debra for several months. A more caring, passionate, or professional person you will not find. I think her understanding of conscious leadership and ability to help one focus on changing themselves in order to promote greater change in that individual's organization is sensational. Simply put she is terrific.
