Coach Debbi Gardiner McCullough, MJ (Master's in Journalism from UC Berkeley) and ACC (Associate Certified Coach, ICF)

Debbi Gardiner McCullough's an executive communications coach and expert helping leaders speak and write in ways that others want to listen. Her expertise ties to clear and compelling writing (how to get there) and helping those with a clunky, inaccessible public presentation style overcome the fear, discomfort, and beliefs getting in their way. Debbi combines 35+ years' experience teaching writing and executive communications as a college professor and reporting on business and social trends for global media including: The Guardian, Financial Times of London, the Economist, and BBC. (Her reporting on women leadership earned her a UN Foundation press fellowship to attend the Women Deliver conference in Copenhagen and learn how to tell the UN's Sustainable Development Goals story to a disaster-fatigued audience.)

Debbi's certified as a coach with the UW Madison and with the International Coaching Federation, (ACC). She's also a certifying coach and trainer with Positive Intelligence, helping clients rebound more quickly from negative emotions so they can feel happier, calmer, and perform better.

Debbi's from New Zealand and has worked in San Francisco, Tokyo, Singapore, and five US states before settling in Wisconsin. She's a graduate of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. She hosts the Sage Sayers, a weekly podcast on executive communications tips and strategies and stories from all over the globe on gifts, opportunities, and knowledge we can gain from trying situations.
