TESTIMONIALS
"Debra has an amazing ability to gently ask powerful questions to help you get wherever you need to go. Months later, I keep returning to reflect on our conversations and gain deeper insights; a sign of a skilled, dedicated, and amazing executive coach."
Adrienne Danyliw, Director, Saskatchewan Health Authority
"Debra has a unique gift, where she can not only draw you in, but also coach in a Socratic way where you understand how to use different methods to solve different problems. She did an excellent job coaching a consulting group session I was in, where we role played and addressed change management in a multi level leadership environment. Thanks Debra! You truly are a gem."
Liz (Rubalcaba) Ruiz, Lead Improvement Advisor at Kaiser Permanente
"Debra helped me navigate a major life and career transformation. She was a weekly breath of fresh air as I strategized through developing my new company. She helped me tap into the courage and talent that had to be released in a new venue. Together we found the intersection between my gifts and talents and the needs in the healthcare industry. As a result I am now the President of my new company and more fulfilled professionally than I have ever been in my life. Debra was a God-send and I would recommend her to anyone daring enough to transform their life!"
Healthcare Strategy Executive, Inland Empire, CA
"Debra's personal approach, professionalism, knowledge and integrity was a true value for us. We will use her services in the future and highly recommend her."

"Debra coached me through a major career change. Her perspective gave me the self-confidence to push beyond my comfort zone and get the job I really wanted. Incidentally, my relationship with my dad and girlfriend has never been better. Thanks Debra!"
Vice President, Finance Firm, Santa Monica, CA.
"I was stuck! Lots of ideas floating around in my head but I no longer knew my passions. Years of building a career and raising my son as a single parent, I lost sight of them; and then came Debra Barrath. Five sessions with her, I have clarity about my passions and established the priorities for this season of my life. Debra helped me by setting a safe, constructive environment wherein she asked the “right” questions and guided me onto the path I was seeking. I found the experience extremely gratifying and life changing! I would recommend Debra Barrath to people who need to get 'unstuck.'"
Sondra, Retired Public Servant, Los Angeles, CA

Councilwoman, City of El Monte, CA
"Debra is a creative and innovative thinker who is not afraid to approach problems as opportunities. I feel Debra would be a fabulous asset to any team interested in innovative and progressive solutions."
Dora Barilla, Assistant Vice President for Strategy and Innovation, Loma Linda University Health
"Debra and I worked on a large scale project for Alberta Health Services - Calgary Area this past year. Debra has a strong academic background and a thirst for knowledge. She is open to new ideas and ways of thinking. She comes at her work with the best of intentions for the collective good of the organization, over self-interest. She has a solid understanding of health care. I would highly recommend Debra for an organization that wants to do the 'right' thing"
Laurie Maslak, Executive Director, Organizational Effectiveness, Alberta Health Services
"I was extremely impressed by Debra's vast knowledge of the healthcare system and her ability to conduct thorough environmental scans. Debra has the unique ability to synthesize a large volume of information and adapt the findings to develop innovative recommendations. Even more impressive was Debra's enthusiasm, her outstanding writing skills, and her sincere and deep desire to work collaboratively with stakeholders to improve health outcomes. It is with pleasure that I provide her with the highest level of recommendation."
Brigitte McDonough, Senior Executive Leader, Alberta Health Services

Chris Laroque, Manager of Business Process Engineering, Calgary Health Region
"Debra is a master of multitasking. She has great abilities in team-building, reaching out, and inspiring. One of the attributes that I believe distinguishes Debra the most is that, while she is a highly accomplished professional, she is very personable and easy to work with."
