What My Clients Say ...

"Deb was extremely sophisticated, nuanced and sensitive in her approach. Yet she also cut to the heart of what was important about my career search, and provided many practical tips. On several occasions, Deb drew out from within me the answers to many of the questions I was asking - sort of the way I imagine a good therapist would do. She gave me a great sounding board as I was strategizing for upcoming appointments with hiring managers or preparing to negotiate compensation."
