SUCCESS STORIES


CHALLENGE #1:   Time management; leadership effectiveness; marketing and promotion strategy and tracking

What Happened, in the Words of Debra's Client:

"I was burnt out and overwhelmed with running two businesses. Just getting to the office was tough. I had lost my spark.  What's worse, I had been ignoring deadlines just to avoid dealing with more decisions.

"I actually blew off the first session I set with Debra.  It felt like just one more deadline that was more than I could bear.

"Now I look forward to my sessions.  Debra has this incredible way of bringing out your potential and to getting you to put it into ACTION in a conversation that lasts less than an hour.

"Now, only 120 days later,  my business volume has gone up 400%.  I'm so proud I can't believe it!

"My staff and family see the difference in me. Bestof all, I see the difference Debra's coaching has made for ME."

CHALLENGE #2: Entrepreneurial start-up

What Happened, in the Words of Debra's Client:

"After way too many years of playing out my workaholic tendencies only to benefit somebody else's business, I am now thrilled to say I have my own thriving business.

Where once stood this workaholic -- stressed out without much to show for it -- now stands
a confident business woman, one who understands how to confront her fears, take action against them, and reach for whatever she wants.

"I found that in working with Debra, for the first time in my life I have had the pleasure of having someone truly hear me. Not just what I’m saying, but more importantly, what I’m not saying. Debra has literally taught me to move mountains in my life. Debra has also taught me to see a bigger picture for what’s possible in my life.

"Debra taught me that the only limitations are the ones I place on myself. Through my relationship with Debra, as my business as well as life coach, I can honestly say that my future has taken sa completely different path. The new path is one that has balance and is in line with all my values. My family even jokes with me when I fall back into an old routine. They say, "WWDA?" What Would Debra Ask? Funny how quickly that will remind me of how far I’ve come and how much growth potential I still have.. I am so thankful I chose Debra to be my coach.

What Happened, in the Words of Debra's Client:

"Debra has served as my business coach for the past six months. She has helped me tremendously to improve my business by fostering both a sense of accountability and a feeling of empowerment to attain my personal and business goals.

Debra is very structured and organized, sticks to timelines, and always stays focused. She is honest, straightforward, and compassionate, creating a safe, accepting environment that makes her clients feel comfortable.

I have worked with many coaches, but Debra is one of the few to whom I credit my success. She clearly  loves what she does, and this comes across in her enthusiasm and positive attitude.

Rita







I was amazed with Debra’s intuition.  She always seemed to ask the right question at the right time.  These questions always had me look inside for my answers and would move me from being “stuck” while giving me the power to know I had infinite possibilities.

CHALLENGE #5: Career Changer

What Happened, in the Words of Debra's Client:

Working with Debra has helped me to rediscover my self-esteem and have more confidence, especially in the work place.  When I first started working with Debra, I was working for a company where I felt trapped and unappreciated; I could feel my confidence fading away while being unhappy at work.  Debra has helped me to look inside myself and find the courage and power that has always been there.  I now feel more confident in myself and my abilities and I have found a more rewarding job where my talents are appreciated.
