Hi, I’m Debbie.
Since the third grade, I was fascinated by crime-solving TV shows and how agencies came together to solve crimes. I pursued my dream career in forensic science at the U.S. Secret Service as a Fingerprint Specialist and was promoted to Director of the Crime Laboratory and Global Evidence Operations. Along the way, I noticed people coming to work each day, not because they were living their dream but just for the paycheck. Since this discovery, I am committed to helping people pursue their dream careers while living a more fulfilled life beyond the paycheck.
As a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach and Behavioral DISC Consultant, I found great insights in John Maxwell’s leadership philosophy. Adopting John Maxwell’s mantra that “Nobody finishes well on accident” I am hired to work with students to find a career path that matches their strengths, professionals who are in career transition looking for more, and executives who are serious about elevating team performance and retention. We focus on bringing people together on common ground to create connections across an organization and get results.
Our mission is to empower individuals and teams to discover their strengths, recognize their value, and build fulfilling careers. Ready to connect with like-minded professionals, join us at Career Successes Academy.
