About

Deborah Hartmann Preuss

rhymes with Rejoice!

I coach change leaders who know: the best way to lead others is to lead one’s self first.

You want to live and work whole-heartedly – so get to know your heart! I hold a thriving space for you to experiment and gain deeper self-knowledge, so you can bring more joy, compassion and creativity to everything you do.

Life need not be hard to be good: coaching tames your inner critic and grows your personal alignment, so you can enjoy your unique blend of values, dreams and strengths. With a skilled guide, it doesn’t take long.

Come, reconnect with your inner wisdom. From there, together, we’ll work on what you need: perhaps a new perspective, a new balance, a new attitude, a new way forward.

Are you ready for more ease, flow, rest, integrity, authenticity?

It’s time to listen to your heart.

Her email sig says: “It’s amazing what a little phone coaching can accomplish,” and at first I thought it’s just marketing, but now I know how very true that statement is.
