Deborah Brown-Volkman, PCC
International Coach Federation Certified Coach & Career Expert

Picture
I have successfully coached clients after 9/11 when the towers fell in NYC and employees/job seekers did not know what to do next, after the financial crisis when thousands of people were jammed into conference rooms and terminated at the same time with no notice, and during COVID-19 as industries disappeared overnight and people had to start over.
I meet people when they are in trouble.
I have supported 1,000's of clients as they have moved past the toughest moments in their careers, including:
  • Finding their way back after major career set-backs and loss.
  • Beating the competition to win coveted jobs.
  • Handling difficult/toxic bosses, co-workers, or staff members that were making their lives miserable.
  • Overcoming fear and getting focused to secure well-deserved raises and resources.
  • Going from being placed on performance reviews to becoming rising stars.
  • Returning to the workforce after taking intentional or unintentional breaks.
  • Getting out of ruts they had been stuck in for years.

Are you at a crossroad?

Thank You's From Clients

It is a leadership role, and there is lots of opportunity for growth. Thank you again for all your help.”
"Thank you for being my accountability mechanism. You were supportive in the way that I needed most. And, tough on me when I needed that too. I have re-found my confidence. I am here because of you."
