Goals with DEB

I’ve worked with Debra at print and online publications for over a dozen years. And as a professional editor (and writer, and producer, and editor) I am skeptical of self-proclaimed “experts” — especially those offering advice about creative endeavors — but Deb’s insights have helped me immensely. She knows what works. Her book Write On Blogging: 51 Tips to Create, Write & Promote Your Blog could only have been written by someone who has been there and done that. Deb’s book, her Twitter chats, and her newsletter have changed the way I approach my writing, music, and video projects, and I’m better at my work because of it. She has become a treasured advisor and a personal role model. Thanks, Deb.

I am the organizer of the Entrepreneurs International Network (“EIN”). On December 21, 2021 Ms. Debra Eckerling spoke authentically, eloquently and enthusiastically to EIN’s members. The title of her presentation was “Set & Achieve Your Personal & Professional Goals.” Debra totally engaged the audience with the depth and breadth of her knowledge around all things related to setting goals and implementing strategies to achieve them. Her stories and examples opened many eyes to the awesome potential of goal setting done right. EIN’s members simply loved her. You will too.

I hired Debra to help me organize my creative projects, not only did she deliver on that, but she provided me with the structure and goals that enabled me get a project launched from an idea to the web in less than 3 months. Awesome personality, holds you to task and offers great creative advice and insight. I highly recommend Deb’s services to any one looking to further their creative or professional career!

Debra Eckerling came highly recommended to me when I was looking for speakers for my virtual summit. She was an absolutely fabulous speaker, a wealth of information and so accessible. It’s always a pleasure to be in her company. I highly recommend working with Debra.

Deb did a great job building our blog and social media CRM channels. She is very energetic and passionate about creating quality consumer-centric content. In a short time she was able to recruit and build relationships with education subject matter experts and guest experts. She is up-to-date on all the social media channels and understands how to write engaging and compelling social content.

We are so glad that we arranged for Debra Eckerling to be our opening plenary speaker at the California Creative Writers Conference 2022. She gave a splendid presentation about how to get the most out of a writers’ conference—before, during, and afterward. Considering the timing of her session, Debra focused mostly on “during the conference,” and her suggestions were as inspiring as they were practical. I took lots of notes. Debra’s opening talk was so helpful I hope we bring her back every year!

Debra Eckerling has been a terrific speaker for both The Greater Los Angeles Writers Society (GLAWS) and West Coast Writers Conferences (WC2). She is a professional presenter delivering on-target information for our attendees, and is also a great moderator. Debra always generates a warm, positive energy that inspires an audience. I recommend her.

Debra conducted a Google hangout workshop to assist Wells Fargo Hire LA’s Youth Interns prepare their final peer presentations. It was fantastic! Her preparation, presentation, attention to detail, ability to communicate, educate and inspire is top-notch. Not only did Debra provide expert coaching and guidance, she followed up with all the participants to offer continuous support. Debra goes the extra mile in everything she does – she made this intensive, interactive learning experience fun! awesome!
