testimonials

"iCU learning helped me with finding my secret training juice!!! I had the opportunity to work with the principal on a course audit and facilitation upskilling session. She worked with me to adjust my training style and materials for my workshops and training sessions. Deborah also supported me with strengthening my facilitation skills. I recommend for anyone looking to level up their skills."

Roseline Joseph, PMP

Owner of Holistic Executive Suites

"Deborah is an elite curator of learning and growth experiences. I have had the distinct pleasure of learning from Deborah as she facilitated important and challenging workshops on racism, unconscious bias, and conscious inclusion in the corporate space. Simply put, titles and roles within the organization disappear when Deborah is guiding an experience. This creates a safe space for people to be vulnerable, leading to real transformation."

Cory Sims

Director of Inclusion

"I'm giving a MAJOR shout out to Deborah from iCU because WOW. Tonight was a blast. Seriously, after a full workday, laughing and connecting with so many of you was exactly what I needed. There's something special about this group, and Deborah's Beats & Bonding event proved that. If you weren't there, you missed some genuine fun."

Jaide Hinds-Clarke

Instructional Designer

"Had the pleasure of attending a seminar listening to Deborah, the Founder of ICU Learning, speak on topics focused around training vs. coaching. She was a wonderful speaker and a wealth of knowledge. I learned many key items to implement in our business immediately. Thank you so much for your time, and we look forward to working more with ICU Learning in the near future!"
