Review from an R&D Regulatory Affairs Manager

As a professional coach in people management, Debbie provided me with a wealth of information on current best practices. Debbie is able to provide incredible perspective due to her vast experience in professional development. She understands the underlying behaviors that may cause those of us in a leadership role to act in a way that may not achieve the best outcome for our team, and is able to offer proven models for mitigating these behaviors. I really cannot recommend Debbie highly enough."

Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC

Special Events Manager

Debbie Jepson’s coaching services dramatically improved my professional life.

Debbie analyzed feedback about my performance from my colleagues to help me better understand my strengths and weaknesses. Once we identified performance areas that I could capitalize and improve on, Debbie provided numerous resources and educated me on strategies to help me grow.

Debbie was truly genuine and attentive; I always looked forward to our coaching sessions! Debbie listened closely and facilitated productive discussions with me on the challenges I faced, what barriers have been holding me back, and what actions I could take to be more successful in the future. I saw positive results in my work immediately after implementing her strategies. Her methods on self-reflection completely transformed the way I think about my work and how I interact with my colleagues.

Because of Debbie’s coaching, I am more assertive, intentional, and confident.

I found the workshops extremely useful and I highly recommend them for others. Handouts were very helpful, especially interview questions. The mock interview activity was great. Creating the 90 second presentation has proven to be very helpful during my networking sessions."
