Debbie's right when she talks about the essential importance of a culture of open communication, trust, and clear understanding of what's needed and expected.Though it may for a while be a time where people will stay in jobs just to have one, when the economy loosens up, as it will, they'll leave in droves if the work environment does not demonstrate respect, appreciation and that an individual's contribution is desired.Losing employees costs a minimum of three times their salary. Companies can avoid turnover, maintain morale, have people being productive when they pay attention to company and culture.This is what Deb does and she does it well.

All the enthusiasm you bring to your work – helping individuals recognize their greatness – was evident in the facilitation of The Collaborative Way. It’s obvious you’re totally committed to the principles presented and that you practice them.

James B. Salter
Chief Executive Officer

Debbie Baker served as a facilitator for our corporate strategy and planning seminar. Debbie’s attention to detail and the organizational skills she exhibited were exceptional. The discussions involved very difficult and emotional decisions relating to our corporate culture and future direction. Without exception, she fulfilled her promises and far surpassed my expectations.

Debbie was able to take an Executive Staff with diverse pedigrees…and mold them into an effective team.

Chris Anderson
President and CEO
The Palm Bank
I took advantage of her executive coaching while I contemplated changing employers. Over the years I continued to work with her, changed employers and ultimately started a de novo bank. Debbie has been instrumental in working with my current staff in developing self-awareness, organizing and prioritizing their goals. Her expertise helped grow the bank faster than originally planned, and the bank achieved monthly profitability in less than a year

The characteristics of ‘integrity, knowledge-base and passion’ serve as the consistent drivers of her actions in business as well as her personal world. Ms. Baker’s work with corporations and executives in building organizational capacity and supporting overworked executives is exemplary. She combines a keen business sense with outstanding analytical abilities including the complex art of solving relationship issues that confront every corporate executive. She is a legacy maker, a big picture person and she does so efficiently and effectively.
