Deb Eckerling wins the award for cheerleader of the decade!
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.
It’s been very helpful to talk to Deb every couple of weeks. She’s given me good advice and clear next steps that I could accomplish. I’ve gotten positive results (and saved a lot of time!)
Debra’s podcast has a wonderful conversational format that is educational and leaves you with the opportunity to set a goal related to the topic. Fun, interesting and a great opportunity to learn about and connect with other professionals.
“I wouldn’t have my book without Deb. Period. She was with me every step of the way from concept to printing. Her guiding hand knocked some sense into me more than once and I’m tremendously grateful. Under her tutelage, I made something I’m tremendously proud to have out in the world. She’s a cheerleader strategist wizard, and a damn good writer herself. I highly recommend her if your concept needs polishing or your strategy needs solidifying. Or, in my case, both!”
Thank you for the wonderful session on planning and reaching my goals. I can’t believe in the short half hour of conversing, I was able to walk away with an executable plan of action and timeline to reach an immediate pressing goal. In fact it was so simple, I thought I’d missed something.
I’ll end this year and begin the next one with a definite blueprint for completing tasks and getting things done–thanks to Debra. I’m stoked and inspired after our conversation, and will definitely sign up for future sessions. I’m about to pole vault over every single demon of opposition that has stymied my writing goals.

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, you made us all look professional [moderating] the [Your Book as a Calling Card] panel [at the California Creative Writers Conference]. You were a good listener and, as a result, were able to make us all look GOOD! You were the glue that kept it all together.
