Data-driven People Energy and Performance to Create Sustainable Change
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 (medium to large-group methods), speaking topics, consulting & executive leader coaching engagements. Drama, power plays and apathy are often platforms for change:
- Drama or Vision/ Energy-based Positive Change?
- Power or Connected Community?
- Stifling Apathy or Understanding Resistance?
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.
