MARKETING:



*From a Company President: "The Achieve Marketing Mastery workshop has pulled it altogether for me.  I now have a strong grasp of the full picture.  I fully understand the affect of what marketing your own business entails.  This program leaves you with no doubt of what it takes to be successful and that instills confidence.  Connecting with all the other individuals in the group was also extremely helpful and enlightening.  I strongly recommend this program to anyone who wants to expedite their efforts in getting off the ground."  Karen Hvizda

*From a solopreneur: “The Audacious Marketer workshop was not only informative but fun!  It helped me move my business to a new level challenging me to focus on a business focus that I had been considering for sometime but procrastinated about!

CAREER:

*From a Vice President:
 
Debora McLaughlin's expertise and guidance has been essential to my search for a new career opportunity. After ten years as technology research executive at one company, my understanding of how to approach present day interviews and the job application process was very remedial. Debora critiqued my resume and provided insight on how to enhance both content and structure. She closely evaluated my cover letters and delivered excellent recommendations to improve my professional verbiage and bring my strongest attributes forward. Most important however was Debora's sharp intellect and ability to role play a number of interview scenarios. She knows the right questions and always keeps you on your toes. As an experienced professsional, I have always been confident that focused preparation delivers proper results. Debora's efforts brought my level of preparation to the next leve, and helped me accomplish what I could not have achieved on my own.

Debora brings positive attitude to the career search process that is simply infectious. If you are discouraged, she knows how to lift your spirits and help you to drive harder to succeed. Debora is extremely responsive, to the point where you know she is always on your team. I would highly recommend Debora's services.
Brooks Gray, New Hampshire


*From an IT professional: " I started working with Debora in April. I had relocated to New Hampshire and after pursuing consulting work for the past year was looking to move into a full time position. I also wanted to find a job that met my interests and offered some flexibility for my personal life and family.I was hesitant to make the investment in coaching however Debora had been highly referred to me. Through the use of professional Career Assessments and a series of exercises I was able to refine my job search into several key areas. I also was able to network with people in those fields.  Debora helped me by allowing me access to her network of professionals and guided me on how to optimize my job search efforts. Soon I had several opportunities and in late July was offered several positions. Debora helped me to negotiate my salary, she encouraged me to ask for $5k more than the offer as well as time to work outside of  the office and helped me to language my request.  I was ecstatic to get the $5k plus a day off to work at home once a week AND flex hours. I even delayed my start date in order to finish out the summer with my family. I found working with Debora to be extremely helpful in refining my job search, dealing with the roadblocks and emotions in the process and allowed me to get a job that met my interests, financial needs and work life balance.  I would highly recommend Debora."  Kay J. May

*From a CEO: "After my first few meetings with Debbie McLaughlin, I was able to come to terms with growing my business when I was at an important crossroads. I have a small consulting business and was unsure whether to "close shop" and again work for "corporate America" or to continue to develop my business. Through my sessions with Debbie, I was able to tap in to my passion and develop a new level of consulting that allowed me to change my clientele - while keeping the pieces of my practice that I enjoy.

With the coaching I received, I have been able to increase prices, streamline my service offerings and develop a new level of consulting that better suits my skills and professional training. After having done this, my new consulting practice is enjoying the growth I was hoping for - and I have found a focus on my services that I needed. I have been able to package my service to the proper clientele and have a new energy about my practice. Debbie has an intuitive gift for focusing in on the challenges that have to be attended to. She has a gentle, but extremely professional approach that resonates with me. Her suggestions are quite frankly, gems of knowledge. She possesses great knowledge and experience with career coaching. A slight suggestion from Debbie has often yielded great success that I have been able to run with and turn into real results.

Debbie continues to help me in several areas; coaching me and helping me to find the answers within myself - whether it's about pricing, marketing, selling of business development. She has assisted me to build my practice into something I'm proud of and will continue to grow with enthusiasm and continued success."-- Melissa Carnavale, The Executive Circle.
 
 
*From a small business owner: "First and foremost I would like to thank Deb McLaughlin for always pushing me to live an extraordinary life.  She has been so instrumental in supporting my personal and career goals. She's like the 'Coach That Never Sleeps!"  Plant a seed and she's constantly watering it.  She is a fabulous strategist and never tires of making encouraging suggestions.  Whether you are looking for marketing ideas, want to increase the speed of development of a small business, or need coaching for that important job interview that's coming up, Deb is dynamic!  She is extremely qualified at assisting you in setting goals and meeting your needs."  K.H., Nashua, NH

*A small business perspective: “It’s rare to find a coach like Debora who combines a coaching/counseling perspective with practical business and life management. Debora possess keen insight and listening skills and the organizational skills to help others achieve their goals. I have worked with many coaches over the years and Debora stands out as the best of them. Her reassuring presence and wealth of resources are a perfect compliment to assist those in transition. Having Debora as your coach is a wise investment if you want to ‘open the door’ to a fulfilling life. -- Suzanne Blake, Boston, MA                                                           

*From a Mom returning to the workforce: “Debora is amazing! She has been instrumental in helping me articulate my professional experience; to strengthen my resume and troubleshoot strategies to find a job that fulfills my needs. She is warm, empathetic and generous.  -- L.L., Seattle WA

*From a psychotherapist: “Debora has a wide array of knowledge and personal expertise. Not only was she able to help me to target my own professional and career goals but she helped me to make this happen in a quick efficient way. I would highly recommend her.”  -- S.N.S., Nashua, NH

*Corporate recognition from a Fortune 500 company: “As previous National Account manager Debora was able to use her expertise in multilevel marketing, demonstration of cost effectiveness and product efficiencies combined with excellent negotiation skills to leverage the contact with large engineering company…. Revenues are expected to exceed $8 million over 3 years.  --“Connections”, Atlanta, GA.

*A middle life transition for work and life: Debora helped me look at and evaluate my life from a different perspective. She made me realize that I was putting my life on hold until I retired. This was a wake-up call for me. My “to do” list is now shorter and I am not tied to it like I once was. I feel okay about letting some things go so there is time each day for the things I really enjoy and want to do. My new way of living gave me more energy and creativity and helped me to land the job I wanted. Most of us can’t achieve the things we want without help. Debora certainly helped me. If you really want to change your life and start living the life you want, working with Debora will make it happen sooner. Debora is great! -- CBH, Merrimack, NH

*As a newly published author, I've begun an exciting venture of book signings, workshops etc. Debora's keen sense of marketing offered me ideas on how to establish myself, promote my books and gain a reader following. I even called Debora for "on the spot" brainstorming and found her to be energetic and very helpful. She definitely understands what it takes to promote and market. I would recommend Debora to anyone who is looking to promote either a product or oneself.  -- Kathy Brodsky, Author, "Moments in Our Lives - A Woman's Eye View..."
