New possibilities.

Through a unique blend of purpose-alignment coaching and strategic organizational development consulting, we empower people and organizations to purpose and cultivate new possibilities to address their most complex challenges. By fostering a culture of purpose, people and organizations can surface innovative possibilities, create roadmaps and harness solutions to take you from where you are to where you aspire to be.

The three pillars of my practice

My coaching and consulting practice is built on three foundational pillars that move you from possibilities to new realities providing you with the mindset and momentum needed to navigate your leadership journey, pivot your career with intention, or lead your organization through meaningful change.

    Unlocking Purpose

    Solutions are discovered when leaders, teams, and organizations cultivate a possibilities mindset that sees opportunities rather than obstacles.

    Cultivating Possibilities

    A possibilities mindset is only as good as the results it produces. We ground your vision in reality by creating an actionable roadmap required to reach your goals.

    Sustaining Change

    Change without purpose is unsustainable. Together, we hardwire your purpose into future organizational, leadership, or career strategy.

Reviews

  • “Go Deborah!! I've always appreciated our time working together at the State Department and the positive energy and ‘possibilities mindset’ you brought to our brainstorming sessions. You're an amazing coach and the world is lucky to have you! With gratitude!”

    Jamie S., Senior Executive
    U.S. Government

  • "What sets Deborah apart is her ability to inspire creativity in others. She creates a space where people feel safe to think differently, stretch themselves, and connect with their sense of purpose... she has a natural way of helping others see new possibilities and align their work with what truly matters to them... I’m grateful for the opportunity to see her unique talent in action and highly recommend her as a partner."

    Alyssa MC, Project Manager

  • Deborah is a gem in the crowded field of career consulting. One of her superpowers is her sincere belief in and ability to truly see her clients, which helps them better articulate their own value proposition. She has experience in both corporate and government settings, making her an invaluable ally for mission-driven professionals ready to lead and succeed with authenticity and heart.”

    Megan W., Former USG Analyst and Leader

  • "Deborah has been wonderful to work with. She is patient, pleasant, thoughtful, professional, and very well informed. Consequently, she is a great resource and helped me ‘connect the dots’ in identifying my strengths and areas needing improvement. Several exercises enabled me to better align my strengths and goals with my resume, while clarifying roles and opportunities I should seek in my job search. Through her observant and thought-provoking questions, I’ve come to recognize my potential both professionally and personally".

    Mike M, Program Manager

  • “Hiring Deborah was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made. I sought her out after I was RIFed from the State Dept. Her knowledge of State and USAID made her easy to talk with because she understands and values the unique skills and experiences State and USAID candidates possess. Her own work experience—across government, academia, and business—makes her uniquely capable of helping job-seekers contemplating a move outside of their comfort zone. She is compassionate, thoughtful, and smart about the current job market—and can advise on the ins and outs of ATS, AI interviews, and most importantly, the resume. Deborah’s sense of what constitutes a good resume is stellar. The resume I created with her guidance—and polishing skills—is the best resume I have ever written. I would not hesitate to work Deborah again. She is, quite simply, exceptionally good at her job”.
