Colleagues describe her as "In my role as strategy leader, I’ve found that a key partner to implementing any transformation is a solid organizational development leader — someone who can effectively equip leaders and staff to lead change, redefine what good looks like and shift culture to align with desired goals. Debbie was exceptional in this role. She eagerly went above and beyond in proactively looking for ways to add value at the leadership table, asking courageous questions and guiding the team to embody a growth mindset. She quickly gained the trust of the executive team and always helped our conversations to move forward in a way that was productive yet inclusive of differing thoughts. She is a gifted facilitator who is confident in asking the hard questions that are necessary for progress. She was one of the only learning and organizational development leaders in the company to have a deep understanding of lean six sigma and its practical applications to medical centers. She even created easy to understand trainings that were oftentimes identified as best practices and spread to other locations. She oftentimes worked with some of the most challenging teams because of her clear thinking, gentle yet firm approach and goal oriented nature — characteristics that would always result in a team’s positive transformation. Her work helped create a high performance culture, one where the results were dramatic — lower employee injuries, improved hospital throughout and better care for our patients. She keeps up to date with industry trends and always brought in the latest thinking into our planning sessions. She is always game to try something new to help improve the company. I count myself fortunate to have had her as such a close partner as we led change for the better in the healthcare setting. Debbie is a delight to work with. " and "I worked with Debbie for 5 years and had the privilege to watch Debbie mentor and coach numerous groups of line managers. Her approach to coaching is practical, insightful and focused on improving results. I learned how to translate coaching from theory to practical results-focused application thru Debbie’s work. I’d recommend her without hesitation."
