Debbie's leadership coaching was the best coaching I have received in my professional career. She truly listens and understands how to support you. Our sessions weren't about what she would do, but how I can show up better for my staff and have difficult conversations without ego and leaning into curiosity while maintaining assertiveness. She uplifted my cultural identity and helped me find my strengths so that I can support the adults in my building.
