We all have boundless potential, so as Coach to Entrepreneurs and Consultant to groups and teams, my work is about creating powerful collaborative spaces where potential is set free, capacities to love and influence are expanded, and greater meaning is created.

My specialty is in the development of a purpose process and statements for individuals and owners that can be operationalized into clear business ‘whys.’ A similar process is implemented with teams and groups. The business ‘why’ then becomes a shared dynamic that, when owned by everyone, inspires team members to give more and be more accountable.

The exciting thing that happens for entrepreneurs and owners is a new freedom from which to expand their capacity to influence their teams, their business, and their future. They also have tools for developing greater resilience for problem solving, moving forward from setbacks, and scaling.

For teams and groups, this collaborative experience provides connection and meaning in their everyday work. People become more engaged and produce better business results.

For the past 7 years, I have been coaching entrepreneurs who have successfully made their purposes actionable in either their own business or the difference they made in the world. With this foundational work, they have created futures they thought unobtainable or they had yet to envision.

I come to this work as an ex-Founder and CEO of a small entrepreneurial company in the real estate industry. I put together and worked with a team of professionals for over 15 years who did outstanding and difficult work often under tough circumstances. We created a series of public-private partnerships around large multi-million dollar infrastructure projects, and in the process, they taught me how collaboration and decision making is done well.

My early career was as an educator with a Master’s degree in Special Education serving the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The experience included teaching in the classroom, evaluating school programs on a statewide level, and running experimental programs for Deaf Adults.

My coaching certification is from Success Unlimited Network, a coaching program certified through the International Coach Federation and my coach training was with the late Joan C. King Ph.D., an Author, Speaker, Neuroscientist, Master Coach Trainer, Mentor and Founder of Beyond Success, LLC.

Deborah is a member and board member of the NTL Institute for Applied Behavioral Science, author of Repairing the Quilt of Humanity: A Metaphor for Healing and Reparation, and serves on the Editorial Board of The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science.

• Working with team members to strengthen their relationships and collaborate creatively across differences
• Enabling leaders to make strategic decisions to overcome challenges, manage change and fulfill their organizational mission

In her prior career as a lawyer in high-level positions across sectors, Deborah was motivated to use the law to help create positive social change. She began to see how she could make a greater difference – and fuller use of her skills and talents – helping organizations develop work environments that are inclusive and just. This led her to earn a master’s degree in organization development from American University/NTL after obtaining a bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and a law degree from the Northeastern University School of Law.

Previously, Deborah worked for the Soros Foundation’s Open Society Institute as Director of the Law School Consortium Project, where her focus was supporting law schools and solo practitioners to meet the legal needs of low and moderate-income communities.

While an undergraduate majoring in East Asian Studies, she spent a year at Waseda University in Tokyo, where she studied Japanese language and culture, also earning her black belt in Judo. She returned to Japan later, after practicing law in Alaska, to study law for a year and a half at Doshisha University in Kyoto through a fellowship awarded by the Japanese Ministry of Education.
