When you are ready to get clear. When you are ready to stop with the excuses that are holding you back. When you are ready to do the work. Deborah Guy is there to help you on your journey.  

I had enough, and I felt like I had lost my 'voice' and my mojo. A friend suggested using Deborah's services, and 15 minutes into my first call I could see why my friend spoke so highly of her. Deborah gets right to the heart of the issue and asks the tough questions. She has given me the tools I needed to improve my communication skills and in turn, my career and my relationship.  

I have gotten so much out of the short time I have been working Deborah. Give her a call. You won't regret it.

Deborah is a rock star! She helped me identify the blindspots that were holding me back and then held me accountable for creating the change I wanted. I have new awareness of strengths that I used to think of as weakness. She gave me the tools I personally needed to find courage in myself and be the person I was born to be!

In just a few months she went from being constantly stressed out to a self-assured woman.   

She was getting out of debt, advancing her career, pursuing her dream and much happier in her marriage. When I asked her what she was doing, she told me she was working with Deborah. That was all I needed, I called Deborah's office the next day. On a scale of 1-10 reading a self-help book is like a '2' and working with Deborah is a 10+"












- Business Owner, American Fork, Utah

I was going on and on about how discouraged and frustrated I was, and about how much trouble I was having with a new script idea when a friend confided that he had recently started working with a Life Coach. My reaction was typical. When I heard the words, "Life Coach", I smiled and nodded, but inside I was rolling my eyes - big time. The whole thing just sounded, frankly, silly to me. But not anymore. The impact on my life and career has been phenomenal! In the past, I've always set goals, but no one was there to hold me accountable and support me in staying on track when I broke promises to myself.

What Our Clients Say About Coaching


Eric Randolph, Investment Portfolio Manager 

For me, Deborah acts as the perfect cognitive mirror. She allows me to see and hear my own thought processes, including where I tend to derail myself. She acts as a second set of brains that allows me to align my thoughts with my values and distill those thoughts into a cohesive action plan.

​In essence she's helping me right my ship.

- Marlene Weber, President, Marlene Weber Corporation, Hudson Valley, NY

Deborah helped me at a time my career and business were in transition. She has the ability to listen and glean from you the important information necessary to work through your process. A great communicator, an astute and timely business woman who has an articulate and sensitive communication method. She connects to people in a very special way. 

- Rachel Stone, Sr. Business Intelligence & Research Analyst, Washington DC

Deborah clears up the fog. She has advised me in two distinct phases of my life over several years-- personally and professionally. In both, she was a true expert in listening, organizing my ideas, and facilitating my discovery of a more purposeful path and effective methods. I could not have achieved nearly the same results by talking to friends or family on the same subjects. Deborah understands this like a science. I have recommended her to others, and they have likewise been impressed and grateful.

Balkis A. J.D, Georgetown University Grad, California State Assembly

Deborah is a dear colleague and I've know her for several years. I am consistently touched and in appreciation of the way Deborah shows up for her life, her commitment to her children, her husband, her community and her calling as a coach. She tells her truth and keeps her priorities clear. 

​She genuinely practices what she teaches. She's the real Deal.

Coaching Testimonials & Success Stories

I appreciate Deborah's approach to coaching and her coaching style. Her approach was to clarify (through conversation and documentation) that I need to be open to questions and NOT be judgmental of those questions, but to be open to what the question is trying to uncover about me and my thought process. Her skill of question-asking is IMPRESSIVE. She asks the questions to force me to think and approach an opportunity from a different perspective, but most importantly......to answer the question for myself!

I worked with Deborah as a coach during a difficult period of professional transition. I am an entrepreneur and I was skeptical anyone would truly understand the situation I was facing. Deborah immediately did and continuously went above and beyond as my executive coach during this transition and beyond. Her guidance helped me grow as an individual and as a professional'
