During the interview, she shared her simple yet powerful mantra: "Choose Joy." She explains, "everything is a choice, right? And we can choose our attitude, we can choose our mood, we can choose how we interpret whatever's in front of us. Like everybody, I've had some very big challenges and difficulties in life. And even within those if I can find it somewhere, if I can choose joy, I can weather those storms a lot better."

Now What? A Primer for First-Time Sales Managers”, and a variety of others.

In the interview, we explore Deb's background, careers, coaching lessons, and several of her favorite coaching questions stems such as 'tell me more,' and others from her book on questions called DISCOVER. This interview is insightful, humorous, engaging, and a delight to listen to, as Deb is such a wonderful coach and human being. She knows who she is, and what she wants to accomplish.
