Relationships and marketing methods are needed to sell your services effectively. After all, marketing is the 'trunk' of your business, from which long term benefits will grow – IF done right.
Look around your business. Do you have the right fit of talent to needs? Have you done all that's necessary to ensure this most precious resource is engaged, trained and productive? From line staff, to key hire to executive, every person has a purpose in your organization. Have you analyzed this and do you take full advantage of all the talent, raw or otherwise, that is available to you?
Deborah works with individuals, teams, committees, executives and Boards to maximize the talent so your client needs can be met. She analyzes then delivers to ensure just the right dynamics are in place to help your team, division and entire company succeed.

More than a buzzword or figment of our business imagination, everything that people are engaged in has a culture. How does culture affect your business? Actually, it's your business culture that drives the people who make the business succeed. Is it performance oriented, or is it output driven?
Knowing your culture is necessary, but acting upon this key piece of business now can well become a differentiator for you in the near future. If you take the time to understand your culture you will build a platform for success.
Understanding your culture is one piece of the puzzle. You must build upon it and put the recommendations gained from your analysis, into action. After analysis, defining the improvements and then delivering the actions with an effective communication plan can do just that. Communication is the life blood, or conduit, upon which a business culture thrives. Your people, patrons and stakeholders all depend upon it; without it you risk drought of thought, talent and future business.
Deborah's experiences as a business owner, change management specialist as well as in company acquisitions where she integrated employees into a new company culture, have given her a unique perspective in understanding the effects and outcomes of company culture.
After defining your business culture, the next step is to understand your performance so you can manage the areas most needing help. After all, results, based on your people and business performance, are the fruit of all labor. If you have managed your business well you will yield results.
If you are not seeing the results, finding the 'gap' or area where things are not working well, then setting forth an action plan to fill that gap is the only way to make sure you will be continuously successful.
Similarly, if you have achieved results from hard work, sometimes paying off with a good contract or stipend, how can you be assured of continued success? Have you analyzed, prioritized, manipulated or streamlined your processes? Employees, production and stakeholder interests; all require accountability and rewards, plan adherence, measurement and correction.
Working with the strategists and leaders in your company and with HR, Deborah can help you create and grow a Performance Culture. One in which no one is fearful of failure from taking measurable and healthy risk. The only failure in terms of performance management is to not take appropriate risks and to not reward those responsible for success.
Building processes that instill accountability, measure outputs, mitigate inappropriate risks, enhance quality and employee morale will create that performance culture. A Performance Culture is about people who enjoy working for you. They are fearless and proactive using tools and resources that reduce unnecessary work thereby increasing their output beyond your expectations.
