Coach's Background:

Deborah began her education in behavioral dynamics and problem-solving as the only daughter of immigrant parents in a family of seven brothers. Her diverse employment history (governess, census crew leader, remedial writing workshop instructor, administrative assistant, executive secretary, toll taker at the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, police officer, and police sergeant) paved the way to a comprehensive understanding of the workplace, and human nature, in all its varying scenarios. Deborah has worked in law enforcement with one of the largest municipal police departments in the world for over twenty-five years. In that time she has developed an ability to assess situations and create workable solutions, often under high-pressure conditions. Her police career has included a wide range of functions, including police officer on patrol, academy instructor, sergeant, and, for the past thirteen years, managing human resources, where she mentors and helps develop leaders.

Introducing Coach Deborah!
Deborah Avery is the Founder and President of New York Executive Coaching, LLC. She is an Professional Certified Coach with the International Coach Federation and a Certified Empowerment Coach with iPEC, the Institute for Professional Empowerment Coaching. Deborah loves working one-on-one and helping people who are motivated to reach a “miniphany” – her term for a small epiphany: that moment when clarity and understanding replace doubt and uncertainty. Her knowledge of goal-setting, time-management, and establishing action plans that hold people accountable inspires clients to do their best. Her intuitive style and ability to strategically think more than a few moves ahead enable her to effectively accelerate the growth and development of clients who desire focus and clarity in achieving goals and becoming successful. Deborah helps each client transform into his or her “best self” by helping them crystallize their vision into reality. Her coaching helps strip away those behaviors that are in direct opposition to achieving each client’s own version of the life of their dreams.

This coach requires:
My clients must be ready to examine how the choices they make contribute to the overall status of their lives. They are ready to divest themselves of habits, behaviors, and limiting beliefs that no longer serve their needs and to embrace new ways of thinking, behaving, and living that will ensure the achievement of the lives they desire for themselves. When a client partners with me on their individual coaching journey with honesty and the desire to live fearlessly, new possibilities emerge and the world responds.

This coach volunteers because:

Because I feel blessed in so many ways, I always try to give back to others whenever possible. When I discovered Life’s Headwaters and the great work they do, I saw this as a natural way to pass on the benefits of coaching to those who might not otherwise have a chance to have that life-improving experience.
 

This coach is unique because:
Because of my many years of experience in law enforcement, I bring a sense of realism and possibility based on my understanding of the human condition. I’ve had an opportunity to see the worst in people and also the very best. I’m always looking for that new perspective that can turn a negative situation into a powerfully positive opportunity for growth and improvement.

This coach offers these life tips:
1. Your own attitude is one of your most important treasures. Don’t give any one else the power to influence your attitude in a negative manner.
2. Strive to be fearless in your actions when it comes to achieving the life of your dreams. If you can’t be fearless, don’t allow the feeling of fear to deter you from doing the work required to get what you desire.
3. You are so much more than the sum total of everyone else’s opinion of you. Often we are so trained by others at an early age as to who we are and how we should act that we fail to fully realize our own unique talents and abilities. Give yourself the gift of determining your own special identity.
