About Dr. Debra Dupree

Dr. Debra Dupree, The Mindset Doc, transforms challenging confrontations into learning conversations.

WHY and HOW does she do this?

She saw firsthand how her own family and family-owned business mismanaged their differences leading to blow-ups, broken hearts, damaged relationships and dashed dreams. She felt there had to be a better way and turned these early experiences as a blueprint for her education, training and experience to make a difference in the lives of others.

Honed through the years, her “3D Formula for Managing Conflict” is a Lifeline for smart people who fear conflict based on their own background and experiences. She fosters insight, awareness, and tools by bringing in the brain science behind emotionally-charged reactions and communication breakdowns.

WHAT we all have in common!

Everyone has a family and everyone has a need to work but life doesn’t always feel ‘psychologically safe.’ We all have a part in fostering workplaces where we feel safe, not afraid to speak up, and in bringing out the best in others for a sense of cohesion and feeling valued.

Dr. D works with individuals and organizations to build this type of climate so people can step forward with courage and curiosity to set the tone for meaningful exchanges and to stop the cycle of conflict
