  “Deborah spoke and presented possibilities to our group of mostly newbies in the field of social media and how we can enhance our service to others and become more connected in the modern world. The interactive presentation took 4 hours, but it seemed like 1/4 of the time. She had so many good ideas that it had our heads spinning - in a good way.”

Deborah scored the highest marks from those who attended her jam-packed session. Her lively session was chock full of examples. On a personal note, Deborah is delightful to work with. She is highly professional and thoughtful when assessing speaker requirements and audience needs, and she comes fully prepared and exudes tons of positive energy.

“Deborah presented at the Marketing to Millennial's 2017 April Conference. Her presentation and key points on the best way to market beyond scope of technical elements was truthful, inspiring, and motivating. Deborah engages the human element and what is most crucial to really connect and demonstrate how financial organizations can go beyond to build lasting relationships. The key steps shared are essential for those organizations wanting to retain and build rapport. Highly recommend Deborah for speaking engagements and conversational examples that aren't lectures but elements of connectivity that can be easily identified and executed. I have already shared the goodness from this conference.”

“Deborah spoke to a group of parents of gifted children via Skype. She focused on parenting issues, advocacy, and resources. This group of parents has had access to a number of experts related to gifted children but noted that Deborah's presentation was one of the best they've ever attended. She connected well with them and facilitated discussion with them, despite being connected virtually via Skype. The parents left feeling inspired and connected. I highly recommend Deborah as a presenter and consultant to work with building rapport with parents.”   

- Lynette Breedlove, Director of The Gatton Academy at Western Kentucky University, Kentucky

In the short time my team has worked with Deborah, I have already seen great improvement in our communication and organizational health. I am very much looking forward to continuing our relationship in the future and building upon the foundation we have to make us the best organization we can be.”
