“I felt Debra was critical to the depth of discussion amongst attendees. From breadth of experience to illustrate examples to support content to empathy expressed during participant discussions and capability to lead trust building amongst participants quickly. In thinking of other facilitators I’ve engaged with I couldn’t imagine being in a room with the type of participant examples shared, myself included, if not for Debra.”
