The nuggets Debra Eckerling sprinkled into my production of the SoMeDocs Lecture Series (“Even Doctors Need Life Lessons”) were gold, and remain with me to this date. In fact, I quoted her just the other day, sharing with my audience about her replacement of the standard “To-Do List” with a “Done List.” She’s clever, articulate, and a joy to listen to.
The DEB Show with Debra Eckerling is an excellent podcast that covers a wide range of topics related to goal-setting, productivity, entrepreneurship, and more. Debra’s conversational format is engaging and educational, leaving listeners with practical tips and the motivation to set and achieve their goals. The guests on the show are diverse and offer unique perspectives on the topics discussed. Debra’s kindness and skill as an interviewer shine through in every episode, making it a pleasure to listen to.
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.
Debra Eckerling has added great value to our organization, Women’s National Book Association, San Francisco Chapter. Through her ongoing speaking engagements, she brings wit, wisdom, and actionable information to every talk. She posses stellar promotional savvy and delivers on-point presentations that bring in larger audiences than our usual speakers. Count on her to engage your audience and keep them coming back for more.
I really enjoy listening to these conversations. Not only does Deb bring really insightful people to the table, but the topics are much less in the weeds of how-to business stuff and more inspirational and motivational to bring bigger ideas to the table. And she does that while still being very business oriented. The productivity elements are outstanding, too. Just a good all-around listen for multiple reasons.
Debra’s been a huge help, not only in improving my writing but in having confidence as a writer. She’s easy to work with, is great about setting goals and works at my pace without allowing me to become complacent.
I would highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to work on their skills as a writer.
I have been talking for the past year about writing my own book. It wasn’t until I met Debra at a networking event in June 2012 that I realized she would be the perfect person to help me with the process. When I saw how she works, I instantly hired her to walk me through the process.
In less than 120 days my book went from a dream to an Amazon best seller. Debra … focus[ed] my efforts on the most important parts of writing my book. If you want to write your own book, I highly suggest you sit down with Debra and consider hiring her to walk you through her plan. She’s amazing.
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.
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.
I have collaborated with Debra on several different projects over the past year. She is a corporate consultant who can motivate individuals as well as organizations to determine the best plans that ensure better results than they would otherwise achieve on their own. A true goal-setting expert with deep experience in all aspects of planning, exploring, and recognizing achievements along the path to continuous success.
Beyond all of that, it is her role as a very much in-demand event moderator and broadcast host where all her skills shine and freshen daily. Deb Eckerling hosts #GoalChatLive where she features leaders in business, the arts, technology and communications and she connects her guests with her audience in amazingly powerful ways.
