Hi, I’m Debra Dupree with Relationships at Work. I actually go looking for people in trouble. You might ask “Why?” Well, I share my story because it’s relevant to what I do today and why I am so passionate about working with people like you to dig deeper and go beyond. My early exposure to the dynamics of a family-owned business taught me a lot…particularly around poor communications and the conflict generated between family and business relations…and significantly influenced what I’ve grown up to be. My father and grandfather ran a family business in the Midwest, buying and selling dairy cattle, influential throughout the region…and, NOT! The community visibility spoke volumes. And, I grew up on the younger end of 9 children, to be seen and not heard. With a combination of German and Norwegian heritage, we didn’t deal well with conflict much less express real emotion. I saw my fair share of damaged relationships, lost opportunities and a lack of voice to speak up. Ultimately, the family business didn’t survive. So, for years I’ve been fascinated with makes people tick…at work and at home. I became a therapist…a mediator…a professor and doctor of psychology…and now a public speaker and author. What do I do today? I help people recover from the drama and trauma and discover how to move past the their past. We uncover those emotional pains that get in the way of true success and happiness. We map out a plan for a whole new way of “being” for stronger performance at work and at home! Together, we turnaround how to manage up, down and around at home and at work.

Together with the 20+ Faculty members, Gina and Jack help entrepreneurs to get direction for their life and business, show them how to give direction to their prospects and customers, and Impact the Direction of the World! Directions University was Founded in 2007 after Gina's Miraculous Transformation helped her to realize her true mission -- to touch the life of every person on this planet. This mission is achievable only by helping entrepreneurs transform the lives of their customers. As a group, these entrepreneurs and Faculty and Administrators in Directions University can truly touch the life of every person! So, what caused Gina's Miraculous Transformation that allowed Directions University to come into being? In 1996, a disabling car accident left Gina unable to continue her career as a litigator. When the accident left her unable to get out of a hospital bed or wheelchair for almost 10 years, she turned to the internet as a way to fill her days and afford her mounting medical bills. In 2005, Gina’s health had declined to the point that doctors gave her only 12 to 18 months to live. That’s why she hit the road in an RV to see the country before she died. But 6 months later, a massage therapist gave her a piece of advice that forever changed her life. Not only did it allow her to live, Gina completely recovered! Gina calls this her “miraculous transformation”. She feels that she has been given a huge gift — a second chance at life! To repay this gift, she is more focused and driven than ever on helping entrepreneurs get what they want most: -- success in their lives and businesses! Online, most people know her as “The JV Queen”, a title she earned by organizing Joint Ventures for some of the most successful names on the internet including Shawn Casey, Willie Crawford, Kevin Wilke of Nitro Marketing, Russel Brunson, David Garfinkel, Henry Gold, Tom Bell, and many others. Today, through Directions University, Gina is a coach, mentor, and consultant to entrepreneurs looking to build a business using the power of the internet. Whether the internet is the business owner’s only presence or their secondary presence, Directions University’s programs show entrepreneurs how to get bigger results, faster, while living the life of their dreams and through transforming the lives of their customers.
