I truly can’t recommend Deb Dredden highly enough. She is quite simply one of the most effective transformational coaches & leaders I know.

When I met Deb, I was immediately struck by her warm smile, clear, confident & approachable manner, sharp intellect, easy laugh, and insightful, intuitive & curious nature. She seemed like someone I needed to connect with. She was!

An uncommonly powerful coach, Deb consistently demonstrates a high level of awareness combined with a gift for asking simple yet deeply thought-provoking questions and a laser-focus on results. I’ve had many opportunities to experience her coaching directly, coaching others & being coached herself. I’ve also had the privilege of actively participating in, creating and co-facilitating programs & gatherings with Deb. In every case she is open, authentic, committed to excellence, direct, generous, clear - and kind.

Deb Dredden has significantly contributed to my growth and the growth of my business. If you are seriously seeking positive, sustainable change, I strongly recommend you engage Deb Dredden and lean into the process!

“Deb Dredden is the epitome of a Transformational Life Coach that any organization would benefit. She is a servant leader and coach that exudes characteristics that all leaders should have. In her role as Market Manager, Deb showcased a natural ability to lead and develop whoever is under, equivalent and above her leadership. Effortlessly, Deb’s energy draws her audience close, while she molds them for success. Under Deb’s leadership, I decided to further my education and gain several certifications, while leading and developing my own team. She influenced me to push myself harder, without even noticing that I was being led. She has an effortless talent for transformational coaching and developing others in ways others could not imagine. What really set Deb apart is her seamless approach to build her team to higher levels, with a humble spirit that permeates with everything that she does. More so now than ever, valuable connections from leaders like Deb can help promote a high level of culture and inclusivity, within any organization, in a time of unrest.

It is an honor of mine to endorse such a phenomenal Leader. It has been a privilege to work closely with a leader of Deb’s caliber. I look forward to witnessing all the great success Deb has in-store for her future, as well as for others.”

“Role model. Leader. Coach. Champion maker. Friend. These are adjectives that come to mind when I think about Deb. My entire life, I have admiringly watched her climb the corporate ladder. I enjoyed listening to her talk about her work life, the corporate culture, and clients, but most especially her teams. She would light up when she would share how she provided an atmosphere to cultivate her teams into the next generation of leaders. Since she founded DDTC, I have had the honor of working with her to develop my leader within. She coached me through some rough waters and helped me identify the tools that enabled me to row myself to the calmer seas and stay there, and to be a better leader for my team. She is an amazing coach and person that truly cares about people and helping them to become their very best. If you are looking to develop yourself or leaders within your team/company, there is none better than Deb!”

I had the privilege of working for Deb while serving as an Assistant Store Manager for Walmart. Deb carries herself with complete professionalism and operates with the highest level of integrity. She manages as a servant leader and inspires leaders to be their best and execute responsibilities while maintaining the same high standards she models herself. She engages the team she leads and invests personally in the development of multiple levels of management. I found her to be the most influential role model of all of the multi-unit managers I have worked with in my 10 years in retail, and 8 years in management.

Deb Dredden is one of the most influential people in my career. Through her leadership and mentorship I was able to not only see success in becoming a District Manager but I was also well prepared for the task at hand. Deb Dredden has a unique ability to foster self-awareness; she leads this through effective coaching to create a culture of successful independent leaders. She provided an unparalleled development rich culture; you walked away from each conversation with Deb not only learning more, but most importantly learning more about yourself. I highly recommend Deb Dredden as a transformational leader who will bring out the best in you and your people. She best personifies a quote by Sheryl Sandberg "Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence."
