    • What if you now had the opportunity to participate in a powerful, interactive process that would help you shift from what you have now to what you want and need?
    • What if you could finally get some movement on a burning issue or opportunity that you’re wrestling with at your organization?
    • What if you could bring a small group of stakeholders together – professionals and/or lay leaders – to generate new outcomes for old challenges easily and soon?

    Testimonials

    “Deb has been a respected speaker and facilitator for a number of our JCC conferences over the past few years. While I've heard about her energy, hard work in preparing, and meaningful content, it took her recent keynote speech at our annual JCCs of North America Professional Conference to make me realize what an incredible asset she is. Watching her present a content-filled, energetic, and personalized session -- without using any notes -- was very impressive. Deb is a multi-talented, serious, and impactful presenter."

    – Allan Finkelstein, Past President and CEO, JCC Association of North America
