“Debra’s coaching has been invaluable as I’ve founded and crafted my business.  She has helped me articulate and stay focused on my goals and values.

The impact of Debra’s coaching reaches far beyond our sessions, carrying me through weeks and months with the clarity and confidence that I have the most important action items on my to-do list and I can let the rest go.

She is an incredible resource and support for an entrepreneur, and an absolute pleasure to work with.â€

 “I want you to know that as I was updating my resume this weekend I realized how much I have learned over the past couple of years  and I just wanted to say THANK YOU because
(1) you inspired me to learn a lot of these new skills;
(2) you have been a huge supporter; and
(3) the work we did in the Brilliance-Based Businesswomen’s Salon (particularly the SIQ, Needs & Values and Priorities) was instrumental in helping me to take this step.  

Thank you so much, Debra!â€

“Before I started the Brilliance-Based Businesswomen’s Salon, I still felt like there were some missing elements, that things were not coming together as I would have liked or as quickly as I would have desired. I had this major, major shift as a result of your program.Since I’ve let go of certain expectations I had of myself, now I feel I have a better relationship with time.  I see time as more precious now.   I protect it and my schedule more than I did before, instead of allowing things to interfere, instead of allowing intrusions.  It’s actually making me feel like I am in more of a power position.  I get to choose what comes onto my calendar.  I get to choose what I do with my day.  I have to say, it was one of the biggest shifts I have made this year.  It was quite profound.â€

“It’s the exact way you teach, Debra, and it’s your background that attracted me to want to be in the Salon.  You have, for lack of a better way to say it, a hardcore, evidence-based business background that I, as a lawyer, am really attracted to.  You have that combined with all of your expertise in mindset stuff.  You just care so much that I could not resist that combination to work with you in the Salon.

My business is about two and a half years old.  In some ways, it still feels like a startup.  When I came to the Salon, I was struggling a little bit with: What is the reality of these huge income goals that I have?  Is this realistic?

In the Salon, one of the many tools that you gave us just let us so easily plug in all of the factors that we need to see if we’re on track with our money.  This tool now, going forward, really gives me the confidence that (A) yes, the income projections that I have for this year are realistic, and (B) I can take this to my accountant when we go over my tax stuff.  That’s just the example of the practical tools that you give, combined with everything else, that just let all of us who work with you skyrocket on our way to success.  I’m not even kidding.  That one tool took a lot of stress off me.  Thank you!â€

“Before I started working through the first two phases of the Brilliance-Based Business Success System, I felt depressed, anxious, worried, hopeless.  I did not know what I wanted to be doing with my life.  I only knew that the things that I’ve been doing are taking a big toll on me.

In the Salon, I learned that I have needs and values and skills and interests and qualities.  Prior to that, I don’t know that I would have said that I actually had any of those things.  Just thinking differently about all of these things has made a big difference.  The needs and values tool has actually proved to be an extremely important tool to help me understand myself, to the point that I actually typed it up and posted it on the wall next to my bed!

I totally recommend the Brilliance-Based Businesswomen’s Salon for anyone who is considering it!  Trust Debra to lead you, guide you, shine the light into the places that you need. Trust me when I tell you that Debra is an outstanding guide through this process.â€
