SUCCESS STORIES: Debra's Clients Speak!
CHALLENGE #1: Sales Revenue Improvement
"Thank you, Debra, for pushing me to increase my revenue by 120%!
"In just over a year, Debra has coached me to make more money while at the same time improving the love and harmony in my family life. In order to do that, she had to help me sort out the hardest issues when things seemed the darkest. I couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommend her as she is great in helping you deal with a broad range of issues."
Michael McClure, President, Zendow, Inc.
CHALLENGE #2: Time management, balance, and revenue generation
"As the owner of a residential real estate company, I’ve had a front row seat to watch and experience the challenges and devastation of this changing economy. I needed a lifeline because my attitude, my sales, my staff, my office were all sinking and sinking fast. The way I’d always done it didn’t work anymore.
I sent out an SOS and Debra responded in a way that has changed my outlook, my productivity and sense of fulfillment in ways that are beyond measure.
"While coaching with Debra I achieved a balance in my life I’d never had before. I learned how to carve out 90 minutes for myself every single day, found quality time to spend with my children, got back in touch with some old friends, downsized and moved my office, remodeled my house, planned a family reunion, exercised more, shed that pervasive sense of guilt that I SHOULD be doing something different, achieved clarity and purpose in my relationships, made a quilt AND cleaned out my garage …. alll while selling enough real estate to be ranked (for the first time in my 15-year career) among the top 50 producers in my area.
"Debra was my lifeline through one of the toughest periods of my life, but beyond that, she gave me tools and skills that I’ll use for the rest of my life. She taught me that, when you boil it all away, it’s not about someone’s definition of success or how much money is in the checking account, it’s all about personal fulfillment. We’re all individually, beautifully unique. Debra’s coaching acknowledges, unveils, fine tunes and clarifies in a way that is always challenging, uncomfortable at times, sometimes a little bit scary, but 100% necessary.
"Thank you Debra!"
Mary Pettinger Carroll, Broker/Owner, Good Faith Real Estate, Inc.
CHALLENGE #3: Time management; leadership effectiveness; marketing and promotion strategy and tracking
"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."
Caree Ludwar, Owner, Institute of New Beauty
Vancouver, Canada
CHALLENGE #4: Entrepreneurial start-up
"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."
Heather Goodwin, Co-Owner, Go Florida Fishing
Palm Harbor, Florida

"When I meet with Debra I can guarantee myself a better week. My friends and husband know immediately if I have just had a coaching call because my attitude and perspective are clearer after our sessions. Debra inspires me to lead a better life and to plan for a life of success. When I concentrate on my priorities and what is important to me, the rest of my life just falls into place. I have become more effective holding boundaries and have become more accountable to myself."

CHALLENGE #8: “I’m Stuck!”
"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 #9: Career Changer
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.
