​"It was a pleasure to work with Debra through a large scale change initiative project. She brought her consultative approach, strategic thinking and problem-solving to bear as we worked through various stages of discovery. She developed models and approaches--checking in to see if she was on track and sharing key data points during the project's progression. She interfaced well with various levels of the organization--from senior leadership to staff. I recommend Debra for future consulting assignments."
