When asked about her successes over the years, Deborah shared her key philosophies:
⢠Do not give others any reason to question your integrity.
⢠Be honest- when you donât know the answer, say you donât know and will find the answer and follow up.
⢠Planning and preparation go a long way; try to do things right the first time.
⢠Do what you say you are going to do and exceed expectations
⢠Take time to invest in others, build solid relationships and be sure to recognize excellence of others along the way. (Give credit where credit is due)
⢠Lastly, always try to solve an issue within the team or directly with an individual, save escalations for when you really need leadership assistance.
On a personal note, Deborah enjoys singing Karaoke, attending live music events with her husband and working in her flower and vegetable gardens with her 2 chihuahuas by her side. She supports and volunteers for charities that help women of domestic violence and disadvantaged children.
