Deborah,
What I found the most valuable was the sharing that occurred with the professional women in the group. We had the opportunity to share our thoughts, desires and challenges. Allowing us to share I know helped me move closer to my passion in life. I am grateful for the time you gave Debra I know many individuals will be moved by your seminars.

Deborah,
When I walked in that day, I had no idea what to expect. I had a very positive, maybe you could even say “healing” experience that day as I listened to you share your wisdom. I am so glad I went, because I needed to hear your motivational words, as well as the insight I received from the other women who attended. In fact, I left with a clarity that I had been missing recently. I will definitely be attending more of your workshops in the future.

I want to thank you for everything you have taught me for the past year. You have been a blessing and an inspiration. When I started coming to your Women's Empowerment Series, I was a sponge. I couldn't wait for the next Friday so I could soak up some more. My job as your newest apprentice is to send other women for you to teach, train and prepare for the business world. Another part of my job is to toot your horn loudly, telling lots of people about the person Deborah Shane.You are a remarkable women.I am grateful and thankful to call you my mentor and my friend.

May 2, 2008 Dear Deborah, Thank you so much for the meeting today! I really appreciated the content and presentations given by all. If I had received such words of wisdom 25 years ago our business would have gone along much easier, and I'd have less grey hair! :) You are to be commended for what you are doing. I realize that it is your business, but it also seems to be your passion. Many women will benefit in today's corporate world because of the great tools that you are sharing. Please keep going, which I'm sure you plan to do, because we need you. Society is changing....and it is vital that more and more women step up and take on those leadership positions. With the work that you are doing it will be easier for them. Many don't know what challenges they face in the world of business, but I will do my part to send them your way to enable them to become more productive. Thanks again, and many blessings to you!

Deborah:
I had the most positive experience from attending this seminar and I had to write you about it. The energy in the room was amazing as well as the women in the room. In particular, I really enjoyed the presentation by Rene Bledsoe; she was an excellent speaker that had a message that spoke to me in volumes. I think for the first time I understand the “web” and how to make it work for our organization. A big round of Applause to you for this seminar it was great, you were wonderful, Carol was wonderful and what can I say because I was there looking for inspiration for our website, Rene truly inspired me!

Hi Deborah,
Your class "Time Blocking/Time Management and Organization at the Business Industry Services has helped me so much. Over the past few weeks, I have used your techniques and I am so surprised on how much I have accomplished. I went from having 2 appointments a week to 7 a week so far, and my calendar keeps on filling up. I also realized that I do have time to exercise, spend quality time with my family and friends, and other things that I never seemed to have time for, this means a-lot to me. I will recommend you to my friends and colleagues.
Thank you,
Jose Avila, Aflac March 10, 2008

"I recently had the opportunity to attend one of Deborah Shane's PDS seminars in the "Survive and Thrive Series". I was very impressed with Deborah's approach, depth of knowledge and get back to basics attitude. Everyone in sales needs a periodic reminders of basic sales, marketing and prospecting techniques. I found Deborah's seminar very informative with topics and strategies for today, not what we used to do. The information provided was well worth the cost of the seminar."

This series was absolutely the most enriching experience I have ever had, in both an educational seminar and/or networking event. When she says "netucation", Deborah Shane means it; this series is education and networking in one. The flavor of the group is exciting, the atmosphere is warm, the relationships gained are valuable and the education you acquire is beyond anything you can receive anywhere else. Deborah Shane has really found her niche, and she is good at what she does. I came away with a stronger sense of self, and a renewed commitment to myself and my career, and I believe that will happen again and again, with each seminar and series offered.

I have had the fortunate opportunity to work with Deborah Shane since 1997. I was just beginning to develop my securities law practice and Deborah created some wonderful radio commercials and an advertising strategy that has worked miracles for my law practice for over a decade. She was an integral part of the success of my overall advertising. Her energy and enthusiasm helped motivate me and my staff to pursue clients and cases and get valuable feed back from them. I highly recommend Deborah Shane to anyone who needs assistance in sales, marketing, motivation, or simply somebody to help develop a business or advertising plan.
Yours truly,

To whom this May concern,
I worked with Deborah Shane from 1998 to 2005 at Clear Channel Radio Miami, where I was the VP/ General Manager of the seven station cluster. During that time, Deborah excelled as WIOD and WINZ Regional Account Manager, and Political specialist, winning our prestigious Presidents Club Sales Award four times for her outstanding sales achievements. She volunteered to help develop and implement training for the launch of our Clear Channel University Mentor program for new employees in 2003. The feedback from attendees and other managers was extremely positive, and the results proved highly successful. Her training was relevant and engaging and focused on solution skills. I highly recommend Deborah as a dedicated teacher and enthusiastic leader. Sincerely,
