"Deborah, on behalf of the students in the Masters of Physical Therapy Programme at UBC, a big 'thank you' for your excellent presentation on conflict management.

I look forward to having you participate in our programme in the future, and again, thanks so much for a job well done!"

Feedback from a colleague
[When Deborah left her day job at Vancouver Coastal Health to join Authenticdialogue.com fulltime]
I'll miss you though, not only because you are an outstanding practitioner of our profession but because of who you are as a person. Your warmth, sensitivity, consideration for others and unshakeable values have touched me and impressed me. I am a better better person because of you and feel blessed that I know you.
