This is for you if you’re a high-performing professional who:

  • Has been successful, but is exhausted from trying to hold all the competing priorities — between the company, the team, and the business itself
  • Wants to scale to the next level, but knows you can’t keep doing it all yourself
  • Manages the business, but still feels like every decision, issue, or fire ends up on your plate
  • Knows there’s a better way, one that creates results without costing you your health, your time, or your family

Private Coaching is a complete reset for high achievers who've outgrown the way they’ve been operating — helping you shift from reactive, overextended, and constantly on-call to clear, confident, and deeply effective — in just 5 months, through a proven method that transforms how you lead yourself, your team, and your business.


This transformation happens through my 5-part framework: a practical, personal roadmap for growing the team, culture, and business you want, without losing your mind in the process.


Calm Presence

Clear Focus

Grounded Connection

Personal Rhythm

Resonant Influence

Learn how to hold the room and lead yourself with presence, without taking on everyone else’s stress.

Learn how to release internal pressure so you feel grounded, clear, and steady, even when everything feels urgent.

Learn how to engage clients, partners, and colleagues with steady confidence, meeting them where they are without getting pulled into the pressure or emotion.

Create a unique operating rhythm that fits you, not someone else’s script or schedule, so results are consistent, sustainable, and scalable.

Expand your influence across partners, clients, and your organization so you can create bigger results without pushing harder.

WHAT YOU GET / INSIDE THE PROGRAM

This is a 5-month immersive program built around my signature E.M.B.E.R. Method. Every part of it is designed to help you both release the old patterns that keep you stuck — and build the structures and strategies that let you scale with freedom.

HOW THE PROGRAM UNFOLDS

Part 1: Redefining Leadership from the Inside Out
We begin by shifting the lens inward. Instead of focusing on tactics, you’ll uncover how your patterns, personality, and internal beliefs quietly shape how you lead. This is where real leadership development starts. This sets the foundation for meaningful, lasting change.

Part 2: Clearing What’s Getting in the Way
You don’t need more productivity hacks. You need to clear the unseen blocks that drain your energy, clarity, and confidence. This part introduces powerful tools to help you recognize and shift the internal patterns that keep you stuck. This is where things start to feel lighter and more powerful at the same time.

Part 3: Seeing and Shifting Your Team
Now that you’ve clarified your internal leadership, it’s time to turn the focus outward. This part helps you understand the deeper layers of team dynamics. The patterns, projections, and unspoken undercurrents that impact culture and performance. This is the bridge between personal growth and team transformation.

Part 4: Conversations, Time, and the Hidden Cost of Control
This is not just about time management. It’s about the unspoken urgency and over-responsibility that many leaders carry and how to lead differently without dropping the ball. You’ll learn to slow the noise, lead with focus, and create room for the right conversations. This is where leaders move from managing everything to leading what matters.

Part 5: Performance, Growth, and Building What Lasts
This part is about building momentum. The kind that doesn’t rely on force. You’ll learn to lead your team toward high performance in a way that’s strategic, thoughtful, and deeply connected to your long-term vision. This is about building growth that holds even when the pressure rises.

Part 6: Expanding Your Reach and Leading from Your Core
The final part is about expansion. Of your leadership, your impact, and your ability to shape the future. You’ll learn to lead from your strengths, build trust across your organization, and develop the kind of influence that extends far beyond your team.

Here's what's included:

Biweekly private coaching calls

Private 60-minute Zoom sessions every other week, customized to your current priorities while we build the core skills taught in the program. You walk away with clarity, a grounded plan for what to do next, and practical ways to apply what we cover in your day to day. Each call is customized so we spend more time on the areas you need most.

Session recordings you can replay anytime

Every call is recorded so you do not have to catch everything in the moment. You can revisit key moments, reuse the coaching before future conversations, and notice how your leadership evolves over time.

Always-on support between sessions

Support is always available between calls when real situations arise. You can reach out, get quick coaching, and work through live challenges in real time, not just discuss them after the fact.

Strategy and mindset in one place

This isn’t theory and it’s not just tactics. You’ll strengthen your inner resilience while implementing practical systems and structure, so you become the architect of a business that fits the lifestyle you always intended.

Flexible scheduling that fits your calendar

Schedule your one on one sessions at your convenience. You receive a private booking link so you can choose times that work within your schedule and adjust as your week changes.

It’s a comprehensive container — but more importantly, it’s a transformation engine. Because this isn’t about information. This is about actually changing how you lead, live, and scale.

How to Get Started:

Step 1: Fill out a quick application
Share a bit about where you are, what you’re navigating, and what you want to shift next. This helps us make sure the program is a strong fit for you and your goals.

Step 2: Connect 1:1
If it looks like a match, we’ll invite you to a short one-on-one conversation to walk through the details, answer your questions, and explore what you want to do differently in your business and day-to-day.

Step 3: Confirm your spot and schedule your sessions
If it feels right on both sides, you’ll receive your onboarding plan, payment details, and a booking link so you can schedule your first sessions and get started.

🕒 You will hear back within 48 hours of applying.

Hi, I'm Deb.

I’ve spent 30+ years in residential mortgage lending and corporate sales, across originations, operations, management, and executive roles. I’ve built and supported high-performing teams producing $1B+ annually, and helped managers stabilize and grow underperforming teams. I know what it takes to succeed because I’ve lived it. I also know what it costs when we lose ourselves along the way.

On paper, I was thriving. Behind the scenes, I was juggling pressure, self-doubt, and the constant feeling that I had something to prove. I was burned out, desk-managing, and operating from fear. It quietly took a toll on both my work and my life.

What changed everything was shifting how I handled the pressure. That shift helped me untangle old patterns, rebuild confidence, and grow self-sustaining teams with real momentum.

I also know the lived reality of this industry: purchase deadlines, rate swings, underwriting conditions, pipeline volatility, compliance pressure, and constant performance demands. Today, I coach loan officers and mortgage team builders who want to scale production and teams without scaling stress. Together, we go beyond tactics and scripts. You learn how to think and operate differently under pressure, and design your own systems, so you become the architect of a business that supports the life you always intended.

Because success shouldn’t cost you your peace.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time does the program take each week?

Calls are 60 minutes every other week. The “work” between calls is using what we covered in your real week, with clients, partners, and your team.

Is this for people in a specific industry?

This program is appropriate for any managers or rising leaders who want to build a more sustainable and clear way of working, regardless of industry.

I aspire to go into management one day — will this help me?

Yes. If you’ve recently stepped into a leadership role, or aspire to move into management, this is a great way to build a stronger foundation from the start.

What kind of support is included?

You receive bi-weekly one on one coaching sessions, recordings of each call to revisit, and direct support from Deb between sessions when real situations arise. You are not doing this alone. You have a steady place to bring what is happening in your role and get support as you move through it.

What kind of investment does this require?

We offer a range of programs with both standard group programs and customized packages starting at $997. Payment plans are available, and most clients choose monthly options that make the commitment feel very manageable. If your application is accepted, you’ll receive all the details before making any decisions.

How is this different from other coaching and leadership programs?

This isn’t about scripts, hacks, or motivational quotes. It combines transformational mindset work with real-world strategy so you can lead in a way that’s clear, grounded, and sustainable.

What if I’m not sure I’m ready?

That’s exactly what the application process and call with Deb are designed for. It’s a no-pressure conversation to explore where you are now and whether this program is the right fit for you. There’s no obligation — the goal is simply to help you get clarity on what’s right for you, whether that’s this program or not.
