At the time I met Debra, I was working 12-14 hours a day on music production, writing, engineering, producing, going to conferences, designing websites, writing newsletters, etc. I worked until I felt sick, I worked until my eyes were going bad but nothing really changed. I was getting nowhere fast. I began consulting with Debra […]

Debra embraced the theme of our Leadership Symposium by stepping out of that box; her entire presentation was instead founded on the ideas of her audience. In that way, her lessons became a truly engaging discussion on creativity, boldness, and confidence. Listening to […]

When I began working with Debra, I was in the dark with regard to our finances.  I had dreams of going to France, but never thought we could afford it.  All I knew was that our credit card debt was growing and I didn’t know what to do about it! Debra enabled me to gain solid […]
