Career history
Deborah’s professional journey commenced in the field of law, where she pursued a career as an attorney with the aspiration of utilizing legal mechanisms to foster positive social change. After practicing law for a period, she grew disenchanted with the adversarial nature of litigation and sought alternative approaches to facilitate collaboration and connection among individuals, rather than perpetuating win-lose dynamics. This realization prompted her to pursue further education, obtaining a master’s degree in organization development, and subsequently becoming certified as a coach. Deborah finds fulfillment in guiding leaders and their teams through transformative journeys, empowering them to access their inner wisdom and unlock their creativity, passion, and potential.
