 “I’ll admit it, I’m a self help junkie!! I’ve also dabbled in reinvention, having changed my life course more than a couple of times. Is it instability or is it pursuit of finding “the real me”? A tough question for anyone.  Deborah Shane a fireball of energy, enthusiasm, open mindedness and great spirit looking to carve a niche helping others turn on their life and business switch to change and personal growth, as she turned on her own. “I can do this, so can you!” Deborah exclaimed. That is authentic. In her book on career transition and reinvention, in her indomitable way, no text book verbal drudgery, no pretense; Deborah Shane opens up on her journey and life lessons we can all learn from. We are in control of our destiny. That is purposeful. And Deborah lays out a purposeful plan, plain and simple.”

Her programs are packed full of up to date, new and interesting concepts. Her energy and enthusiasm keeps the room motivated while engaging all.

“I want to take this time to thank you for coming into our class. Your presentation gives people like us that are in training for a new career a ray of hope going into the business world. The most important thing I took from you is to have the ambition and the drive to go where I want to go. To have contacts in the business world is a good thing, but if people do not have goals that they aim to achieve then they will always come up short in life. I knew before that the only person that can get me where I want to go is me, but your presentation gave me an added “I Can and Will” outlook for my future. I wanted you to know I appreciated your motivational speech and look forward to the possibility of working with you in the future.”

—Curtiss Burgoyne, Web Design student
