She’s an internationally recognized author, consultant and speaker, but for Debra Nelson, mastering workgroup dynamics began as an act of sheer necessity. “My degree in finance prepared me for the business world. But my first job involved leading people—I had to learn fast!” Never someone to shy away from challenges, Debra’s solution was to learn more about leadership. Through her graduate coursework, she met Jim Quick and they discovered their mutual fascination with improving people’s lives at work. Debra soon became a highly accomplished consultant with an incredible knack for identifying strengths in others and honing those strengths. Perhaps her greatest talent is her extraordinary ability to combine analytical skills with creative, innovative approaches to advance individual and group objectives. She conducts corporate retreats and training sessions inside a wide variety of organizations across the country, but she doesn’t have to look far to see the impact of her work. “Someone once said to me ‘I took one of your seminars two years ago and it changed my life.’ Wanting that result for all of my clients is the ultimate motivation.”
