Consulting

​As a social psychologist, I have deep expertise in human relationships and how those relationships guide behavior.  My passion is applying this expertise to help others do together better. I help leaders of mission-driven organizations, groups of organizations, and donors avoid the predictable pitfalls of complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives so that they can drive impact and achieve their visions. I will help you:

  • Design multi-stakeholder initiatives for success

  • Realize big impacts easier and faster

  • Drive unexpected solutions to tough problems

Keynote Speaking

As an award-winning teacher celebrated for her wit, presence, and clarity, Deb's unusual blend of humility and insight engages audiences, encourages openness, and motivates action.

“This was hands down one of the most useful and practical sessions I've attended in a long time. No one ever talks about HOW to collaborate WELL! And it changes so drastically from group to group even within one organization that it can be very frustrating. I only wish all of my colleagues had attended the session.”
