Deb's experience, coupled with her comprehensive knowledge of the fundraising profession, has been instrumental in helping me make sound key/strategic decisions. In addition to her professional expertise, I am especially impressed with her common sense approach to problem solving. A recent article in The Chronicle of Philanthropy reported that next to job experience, coaching and guidance from a mentor was the second greatest need among young non-profit professionals. If you are serious about building a successful career in the non-profit sector, I would highly recommend the career coaching services available from Deb. It's an investment that will return handsome dividends to your career.
