Client Testimonials
Throughout all my coaching lessons, Debra provided a framework by which I was accountable for my own actions and progress. She also provided me with a safe haven when needed, but tough love on those occasions when progress was stymied by my own perceived limitations. All of the recommended resources and training offered by Debra proved to be valuable sources that I continue to use and share with others. The perspectives and life experiences that she openly shared have provided me with a great deal of insight that gives me food for thought on a daily basis.Executive, U.S. Government Agency

Having an independent assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of my current client development efforts was invaluable. Secondly, having periodic, regularly scheduled appointments to discuss my progress motivated me to keep marketing a high priority regardless of how busy I was and made me more consistent in my marketing effort. Finally, Debra’s encouragement and affirmation that I was doing the right things in my marketing effort gave me confidence that my efforts will have long-term positive results, even if immediate results do not occur.T.E.

Debra is a good listener and very responsive. She was adept at assessing situations and provided effective suggestions on how to modify my approach to ensure successful outcomes. Her insights were very valuable.In addition to the above, Debra provided practical tools for organization, coached me to improve my delegation skills, and helped me strategize on how to improve client relationships that resulted in additional work for the firm.

The most useful aspect of our coaching sessions was being able to use Debra as a sounding board for some of my marketing/networking ideas. She was able to help me clarify my thinking on many of these issues and at times help me take my ideas to the next level. She was also helpful in making me realize that I was sitting on many marketing opportunities with existing clients that I was not fully taking advantage of.J. S.

There were two things that made Debra’s coaching valuable. First, the element of accountability motivated me to take action on the items that we discussed. Second, Debra’s perspective was extremely helpful. In many situations, it is difficult to determine how to follow up or first approach a prospective client due to preconceived notions or set attitudes regarding marketing. A third-party perspective brought to light many simple, common-sense approaches that were easy to implement and understand, yet deceptively simple.M. S.

I did want to thank you again for all your guidance and assistance. Your suggestion about reconnecting with former clients was a great one and yielded immediate dividends to me in the form of two new matters for the firm (out of the first three former clients who I contacted). I will make it my business to continue to apply the valuable insights that you provided to me during the course of our sessions. Once again, thank you for your insights and continued support.R. K.
