WHO IS D.E.B?

Let’s face it. There are plenty of life coaches out there. In fact, many of them may even be great!
So finding one shouldn’t be that much of a challenge, right?  WRONG!

A synergistic relationship between you and your life coach is critical for the coaching process. That synergy is the catalyst that will help you to break barriers, discover what you wish to achieve in your life,
and obtain the success that is unique to you.
​
The discriminator between an average life coach and an outstanding life coach boils down to a combination of
​3 factors that comprise a coach’s unique story.

PERSONALITY / COACHING STYLE
This could quite possibly be the most important factor in your selection of a life coach. There is so much to be said for fit! As with any relationship, coaching requires a strong connection in order to be successful.  When that connection is there, it’s magical! 

I pride myself in my ability to connect with people. I understand them. I am energized by the uniqueness in everyone and love learning what makes them tick, and then helping them to move forward. 

With a high degree of integrity, I am inquisitive, creative, fun, pro-active and truly enjoy empowering people. I derive great joy from my clients’ success!

I would be honored to collaborate with you in designing and creating your future, whether it is to achieve your long term weight loss goals or to discover "that thing" and to go get it!
Whatever it is, I predict that it'll be awesome!
