Do you have a BIG idea that needs help to bring it to fruition? Along my personal journey I’ve identified and brought to life many BIG ideas that are paths forward for the United States. If you’re reading this, likely you have discovered a path, too. What could we do together? 

BIG ideas I’ve initiated, partnered & advised on:

How I bring a BIG idea or vision to reality:

  • Employ deep listening for underlying assumptions, blind spots and hidden assessments.
  • Guide purposeful conversations to ground dreams into action plans.
  • Network with people, sources and ideas that can be additive or collaborative to your idea.
  • Challenge conventional wisdom and channel missing voices. 
  • Communicate diplomatically, especially on tough topics.
  • Develop expertise with tech tools for project management like Google Drive, Zoom, Slack and others.

How can I help you?  Skills I may use to support your BIG idea:

  • Visionary trailblazing for breakthroughs
  • Ecosystem overview, evaluation & gap analysis
  • Temporary executive 
  • Project management
  • Event program development
  • Ghost-writing
  • Fundraising materials
  • Organizational start-up 
  • Or tell me what you need! 

What others say about me:

David Nevins, Chairman of Bridge Alliance: I had the pleasure of working with Debilyn for 8 years’ as co-founders of The Bridge Alliance.  Debilyn’s ability to think creatively about big ideas that few of us have considered or explored before is quite remarkable.  The terms creative and problem solver are bandied around a lot these days but few people I have met can think about complex issues in an unbiased and logical manner so that innovative solutions can be found.  Add to this her ability to then communicate these complex ideas and solutions to others in a clear, concise and collaborative manner has resulted in countless successes in the years I’ve worked with Debilyn. 

Joan Blades, Co-founder of Living Room Conversations: We were true partners on the creation of Living Room Conversations and subsequent growth. We used an iterative process to identify challenges, experiment with possible solutions and popularize the use of Living Room Conversations guides. This open-source resource is now used in faith communities, schools, libraries, clubs and living rooms nationwide and around the world. 
Pearce Godwin, Founder of Listen First Project and Leader of Bridging Movement Alignment Council: The only thing bigger than Debilyn’s vision is her heart. I have been immensely blessed by Debilyn’s wise counsel, shrewd strategic thinking, and gentle challenging of my preconceived notions for nearly a decade. No one has made a greater impact on my personal growth and our collective successes than Debilyn. We would not have accomplished a fraction as much without Debilyn’s belief in my big idea and her guiding hand every step of the way.
