Trusted Thought Partnership So The Pieces Come Together

Years of MultiFaceted Experience 

Background

​​​​​​Debra Raybold, PCC 


​​​​Partnership & Process

​​

Perspective


I believe we each have an essential spark.  It's that very personal sense of how we wish to live or work.  That Essential Spark calls to us, over the course of our life, reminding us of what we want more of,  nudging us to chase what has meaning, and sounding the alarm when it's time for change.  It takes many forms and ignites career aspirations, the desire ​for a life renovation, craving reflection and quiet time and the desire to expand personal efficacy and performance competence.   Support and partnership to develop and respond to your essential spark is that path to optimizing potential and fulfillment. 


Highlights


With specialized training in both the neuroscience of leadership and the science of wellbeing,  individual and group Coaching programs and workshops create lasting learning, powerful shifts, new insights, and sustainable momentum.  


When we stop jumping from model to model and idea to idea and align our unique perspectives with how we are wired as humans, we begin to gain momentum and experience the desired outcomes.   


After a successful career in leadership and now as an Executive Coach and Consultant with over 2200 hours of experience of working with people at all levels of organizational work, I bring critical ingredients for successful personal and professional development and change to conversations which:

•          simplify complexity into actionable central dynamics, 

•          expand clarity on the vision and the right why behind it,
•          grow the skills, mindsets, and confidence needed,
•          identify and address constraints, and
•          design the steps to be making progress.

​For over 15 years, I have Coached across many industries and within well known brands on diverse topics.   I work with a small team of like minded and like trained individuals when projects need more that one Coach.  ​

​​I partner with people individually, in groups as well as with and within organizations in highly customized ways.  I collaborate with a small group of very skilled and like-minded coaches for projects that support a team of coaches. ​  


Coaching is a highly personalized conversation science that uses evidence based models for how people work at their best to unlock perspective and movement toward a desired target. ​   ​Even this website is built on the principles from brain science. 


​Coaching:

  • pairs micro-learning and interactive conversation to achieve clarity and momentum to close the gaps between what is and what is wanted;
  • uses evidence based practices that align with how humans most effectively engage, change, and thrive; 
  • creates an objective partnership for meaningful consideration, planning, idea generation, sound-boarding, learning, and path setting; and​ ​can be thought of as product development - where the product is you or your teams.


Those who work with me are promised:


  • Undivided attention, both to what you say and what's between the lines.
  • Unconditional regard for your agenda, your risks and rewards, your unique outlook.  
  • Creative, outcome-oriented, humor-filled, communications.
  • Timeless tools and models such that you build a future toolkit.​​


People who work with me describe themselves as:

  • Enjoying the insights and applications from the brain and others sciences, 
  • Ready to think in new ways about self, others, collaboration, resilience and leadership,
  • Wanting to take new action toward different results in who and how they are.​
