She founded the only female-owned production company in the San Francisco Bay Area--Focal Point Productions, which she ran for 15 years. On camera, Deborah directed luminaries including Wendie Malick, Rita Moreno, Danny Glover, and Angela Lansbury. To launch three of her independent films, she formed the video distribution company Deborah Films.

Now, Deborah specializes in coaching CEOs and executives to improve their communication and presentation skills. She especially enjoys mentoring young people.

Deborah speaks pro bono at educational institutions like UCLA's Anderson School of Business, the USC Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, Pepperdine graduate level classes, and Cal Lutheran to give young people a boost and confidence at the beginning of their careers.
