Personal Details

Bio

Adoption of new technologies and practices as well as solutions to persistent and resistant problems in the workplace require changes in human behavior. Regardless of the intelligence of a new platform or the elegance of a process flow, returns on investments are driven by how well and how quickly people adapt to change. Accelerating the change process through applying the written and, most especially, unwritten rules of human behavior has long been my secret sauce.

But where did that wisdom come from? Would you believe a childhood filled with dairy farming influences and one honest teacher?

Two lessons that shaped me into the Change Thought Leader of today:

1. Dairy farmers know that life literally revolves around meeting the needs of their four-legged, black-and-white-spotted animals. Forget about them, and you’re out of a job. The same is true for your employees impacted by the change. Cows are curious creatures. If left to themselves, they tend to wander and get into trouble. You can spend hours rescuing a cow that has somehow managed to get tangled in the barbed-wire fences. People too are curious, especially about change. If you stop giving them a part in the change story, if you quit being there for them during the transformation, or if you start distancing the “why” we are changing from them, you’ll quickly find yourself having to untangle impacted users from that “barbed wire fence.”

2. My grade school teachers echoed the same feedback year after year, “Debbie is definitely one of the most talkative students, no matter where we move her in class, she communicates with everyone!” Throughout my career, I have developed the art of being able to communicate with anyone at any given time. From speaking on public stages to studying communication's impact on human behavior, to working in a variety of industries that allowed me to utilize this skill to become an expert change manager, I’ve learned that effective communication is at the core of any successful transformation initiative, change leader and business.

Through the art of storytelling, I deliver a personal, thought-provoking, and inspiring presentation centered around the concept of CHANGE. I transform my experiences into relatable messages of resilience that are meaningful to a wide range of audiences. I reach each person with relevance, leaving behind lessons that can be applied in all aspects of professional, relational, and spiritual life.

Because of my extensive background in Corporate America, I can tailor the message into interactive workshops and training sessions addressing the various needs of organizations and companies that may be experiencing significant change.

Resilience Over Resistance

With a business climate characterized by instability and rapid change, who hasn’t encountered setbacks? Resilience is not only a key leadership trait, but also a necessary life skill.

When encountering a life-disrupting event, it is important to learn how to recover and not crumble, become better and not bitter, and emerge stronger and not weaker.

Overcoming your Resistance to Change is about understanding the stories we tell ourselves and re-writing those stories to work with rather than against ourselves—to turn our resistance into insight and our insight into action and growth.

Change Resister to Change Agent

Change is happening in your organization. Every day, new initiatives and projects are launched to improve performance, increase profits, and enhance your competitive advantage.

The execution gap remains a challenging question in all organizations. Why do we struggle to execute our well-designed strategies and plans? Resistance to change is the often-discovered culprit. Change management is a crucial building block to bridge this gap.

Growing through unwanted change, loss, and shattered dreams; the power of being resilient & tenacity

How do you respond when you lose your job, face an unwanted move, or get your heart broken? Can painful experiences lead to positive change? Fortunately, you can do more than “go” through these painful seasons. You can “grow” through them.

Mindset Detox & Renewal

What keeps you stuck in life? Are life issues bogging you down?
Do you feel overwhelmed? What about your internal chatter or self-talk? Do you feel like you are your own worst enemy and your own thinking is bogging you down? Let’s devise a plan to declutter your inner script and negative self-talk so you can live joyfully again.

• Understand who you are, your values and areas where you are stuck
• Assess limited thinking patterns and the lies you have believed
• Learn strategies to create healthy boundaries and new ways of thinking
• Develop an individualized plan that works to stop your negative cycle and limited thinking
