testimonials

As a facilitator, she has a gift for creating engaging and open learning environments that serve as a springboard to challenge learners to open themselves to growth and explore new perspectives. Her expertise in the inclusion space is exceptional, and she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to every session. As a partner in the design process she is creative, innovative, regularly looks for ways to push the boundaries and challenge the status quo. She keeps the spotlight focused on the learner and is able to work on a team to create experiences that create change and impact on people and their work."

Mike Lorenz

Manager of Learning Experience Design

"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

Talent Development

"I had the pleasure of working with Deborah when I first joined StrategIQ Commerce as she headed the training program for all new hires. Deborah co-created all of the training documentation and assessments used to supplement in-person training sessions and test for long term product and workflow understanding. She is detail oriented, intelligent, and intuitive. Her ability to recognize and and eloquently relay business strategies is what made her stand out throughout the course of my training with her."

Alana Boettcher

Account Executive at ClickUp

"ICU Learning is where learning meets inclusion. Drawing from her rich Caribbean roots, Deborah has crafted a unique space that merges educational development with cultural sensitivity, making every learning experience relevant, engaging, and impactful. iCU Learning shines a light on inclusive and effective training, designed to resonate with and respect the diverse backgrounds of all learners."
