Using authenticity, clarity, and compassion, she helps leaders and their teams transform themselves and the world by accessing their inner wisdom and tapping into their wisdom, passion, and creativity.

Deborah was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Her professional life began in Boston, MA, with a bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and a law degree from Northeastern University School of Law. She went to law school with the goal of using the law to help create positive social change. After practicing law in Anchorage Alaska and studying law in Kyoto, Japan, she became disillusioned with the adversarial process. Rather than take sides in win-lose scenarios, she wanted to find ways to help organizations develop work environments that are inclusive and just. It was that desire that led her to return to school in Washington, DC, to receive her
master’s degree in organization development from American University/NTL. As she came to see the power of individuals to create personal and organizational change, she became interested in coaching.

Her work as a coach and organization development consultant includes:
– Helping individuals lead satisfying, purposeful lives,
– Coaching leaders to live and work in alignment with their purpose and values, enabling them to re-ignite passion and bring out the best in themselves and others,
– Working with team members to strengthen their relationships and collaborate creatively across differences,and
– Enabling leaders to make strategic decisions to overcome challenges, manage change and fulfill their organizational missions.

She is the author of Repairing the Quilt of Humanity: A Metaphor for Healing and Reparation, and Mystery of Memory: Telling My Truth, Standing My Ground.
