Harvard Business School Association of Boston
"In Debbie's session for the Harvard Business School Association of Boston, she presented interesting and relevant information that was of practical value to the audience, from a diverse array of industries. Baking, seafood, banking, high technology, consulting, higher education and marketing were but a few.

"She handled questions with ease, often citing research in support of her response. Judging by the number and nature of the questions, Debbie was on target in getting her message across to the audience. She has a knack of putting people at ease and encouraging dialogue, not surprising as her expertise is in communication.

"As I was the point person in working with her prior to the event, she met all deadlines for written materials and I found her to be a very bright and delightful person. As the cycle in our Career Track moves full circle in a few years, we certainly will ask Debbie to do a repeat of her event."
- Dick Morrison, Program Chair
