    Testimonials from Jewish Coaching Academy Participants

     We have had the pleasure of bringing Deborah into St. Louis three previous times and each time she wowed our professionals and lay leaders with diverse topics including communication, supervision and motivation.  In 2014, we made a major commitment to offer Deborah’s Jewish Coaching Academy and we were thrilled to recruit 25 professionals and 15 lay leaders to participate in an 8 hour training experience (20 each day) and to build on Deborah’s training with ongoing peer coaching in 2015. Every aspect of Deborah’s training met or surpassed our expectations. At the end of the day, most commented that their views of managing and motivating others completely shifted.  Several referred to the experience as life changing.  Deborah has a very special and unique ability to make the learning informative, interactive, inspiring and fun at the same time.  Deborah Grayson Riegel’s Jewish Coaching Academy will impact our leaders and St. Louis Jewish community for many years to come.

    – Marci Mayer Eisen, Director, Millstone Institute

    Deborah’s Coaching Academy helped me focus on asking better questions in professional development scenarios, and helping people get to the solutions themselves without giving advice.  I walked away with concrete tools that were immediately applicable to a variety of professional interactions.

    — Aviva Zucker Snyder, Hillel International, Washington D.C.

    Deborah is magical. She engages her learners in telling their own stories, provides concrete opportunities to learn and practice with and from colleagues, and makes sure that every participant has concrete plans to practice and receive support as they step out on their own. The Academy is of profound value, whether you wish to learn or strengthen your coaching skills, enhance your supervisory practice or simply improve your listening skills. I love every opportunity I have to learn from Deborah.

    For Professional Leaders, Managers and Lay Leaders of Non-Profit Organizations

    (*or anyone who wants to learn coaching skills for their work or life, whether you’re new to coaching or looking to update your skills)

    In seeking wisdom the first step is silence, the second: listening, the third: remembering, the fourth: practicing, the fifth: teaching others. 
– Poet Solomon ibn Gabirol

    Coaching skills have been identified by leading business and non-profit experts as critical for building and sustaining strong and effective professional and volunteer leadership.
