Deb has three main channels for the work she & her team does to aid you renewal and planning to maximize your organization’s productivity:
1) This site, REVELN Consulting, LLC, covers the head, heart & hands helping you align your data, people and passion for business systemically. We are known for our deep expertise in meeting design, facilitation (large-group methods), speaking topics, consulting & executive leader coaching engagements.
Reveln is also a concept based in the words revelation & reveling. I help remove interference as well as maximize your business leader & teams / groups’ experience while building workforce engagement and productivity. This includes having fun in and at work.

We use principles of community and co-creation to help your organization more fully capture its passions and yearnings.
You can contact me here for a chat on how I can help you leverage the smarts in and around your organization, such as in dealing with change in our VUCA world, one that is Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous, described in Deb’s online Change Leadership Watch ScoopIt newsletter.
2) My 2nd focus is change management and change leadership. It is also a legacy gift of the late Kathie Dannemiller, our mentor in helping organizations and their leaders develop to their full potential systemically.

I’m also pictured here, (in orange) as a panelist at a global change conference, the 2012 ACMP, offering: Success Secrets of Trusted Change Advisors. More photos of this event are here.
3) My third area of service, that reflects my current experience with large group methods is, social media, which helps power communication among change leaders, consultants, coaches & business owners. I do this via the Social Media Learning Lab (SMLL). The free tools on the SMLL site are about maximizing conversation and relationship, for business listening and traction.
We also have a OPEN LinkedIn group here that you can join (by request, to prevent spam). In this group we exchange views and discuss social media questions, learning how to leverage SOCIAL for your business success.
I was interviewed by a respected marketing specialist on why and what I do here, thanks to brand designer @Kristine Putt (ParagonMoon.)
Feel free to browse and comment on anything you find of interest. I’ll hear you. ~ Deb
