About Me

Implementer Category: ExpertImplementer Tags: kc

Growing up in the Midwest not far from the Lewis & Clark Trail, my trailblazing spirit showed up at a very early age. Taking more risks than others might find comfortable, by the late ’80s I headed to the Big Apple at a time when the technology sector was building steam. As one of small group who took a tech start-up through acquisition by one of the Fortune 500, I experienced the highs and lows of navigating unfamiliar terrain. The challenges, however, played to my strengths and helped shape my professional path.

My trailblazing tendencies eventually brought me back to the Midwest where I chaired multiple CEO, and business owner peer groups for more than 10 years. When someone introduced me to “Traction” by Gino Wickman, it was a light bulb moment. I’ve said, “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.”

As an entrepreneur, my passion is helping other entrepreneurs be successful using EOS® as the roadmap. Since 2012, I have facilitated over 750 sessions within 100+ companies. The work I do, and love, is a privilege…and one amazing journey.

What My Clients Say

Hear it directly from transformed businesses.

I’m a classic entrepreneur, with the attention span of a hummingbird. We have some very smart, hardworking, opinionated, Type A people on our team. It’s like herding cats to get us on the same page. Debra is great at herding us. Nobody gets a hall pass; we call her ‘The Frau.’ If she senses there’s something someone is not saying, she gets at us until we say it. What we’ve learned is that the process works. Rather than put out daily fires, we can focus on the superior way the job is done

Nathaniel Hagedorn

CEO, Northpoint Development

As a group of successful individuals, we each bring different experiences and perspectives critical in driving the creativity and innovation to meet our client’s needs and our own goals. Debra and EOS have provided us a proven system to harness that creativity, which has resulted in acceleration of our strategic plan. We’ve been able to address more projects and issues in our time working with Debra, while simultaneously strengthening our culture. EOS works, and Debra is a pro.

Ben Foster

CEO, ISG Technology

Debra has the right balance of discipline paired with an incredible gift of connecting to the heart and soul of companies and people. She has a natural talent for peeling back the layers of the EOS methodology to ensure it is fully understood. She has helped us simplify and clarify our business objectives so that we have a road map for the future. It has made us more efficient with our decision-making across the entire company. We would not be where we are without EOS and Debra’s partnership!

Rob Adams

CEO, Bishop-McCann
