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.

2) Deb also focuses on change facilitation and leadership development.  It’s about helping leaders at all levels 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.

2) I’m also an executive leadership and team coach, specializing in asking powerful questions and helping you dealing with the rapid change in our 21st century  VUCA world, one that is Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous.  VUCA and change resources are further described in Deb’s online Talent and Performance Development and  Change Leadership Watch  ScoopIt newsletters.

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).
