Debra partners with mission-driven leaders to determine what level of service will meet their needs. Services may include blended learning approaches:
"Debra’s skillset is very broad. She is very insightful and a gifted facilitator - she listens and also keeps conversations moving forward; she sets clear boundaries and helps the group stick to them; she asks the right questions in a probing and sensitive way. She held our group together, and made sure everyone's voice was heard, even when there were differing opinions. She helped us say truthful things without being overly critical. She asked the right questions in our focus groups and elicited meaningful feedback from our members. 

​Debra is also a skilled writer. She saw the value of our organization and helped us articulate the right language for our mission and vision statements and other important communication with our members.​"
"Debra is a focused and effective consultant. She facilitated great discussion among our project team, challenging ideas and encouraging new thinking. Her style energized our team and moved us from a fairly stuck spot into a productive, creative work mode. Debra is much more than a facilitator, however, which sets her apart from many other consultants we have hired. She produces valuable original work based on what she learned from our team combined with her own considerable experience and expertise."
