A recent example is her work with Defran Systems, a human services software company focusing on Child and Family Services, Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities both non-profit and for-profit agencies. Working with the CEO and leadership team, she helped transform this 26-year-old company stuck in an agency and entitlement culture into a highly profitable, well-run business that was successfully acquired.

Her business acumen and experience differentiates her and establishes credibility as an Executive Coach. Her approach is to engage clients in coaching conversations that challenge them to generate new thinking beyond their current limits in a safe environment – helping successful leaders get even better.

Deborah’s home is anywhere her clients and work take her. When she is not on a plane or a client site, she rests and recharges at Estrella Mountain Ranch in the hills outside of Phoenix AZ.
