Thank you for a most fantastic presentation today with IAM. I was blown away by what you were saying.
I have not before watched your presentation although your name is a household one, but last night intrigued by what I had signed up for as a non-member of IAM, I searched through your YouTube videos and watched your presentation on "Why aren't they listening - how to create change in a disputant's mindset."
What a treat!!
I cannot even begin to put in words my gratitude. I love how you take the academic and break it down for "simpletons" like me to adequately grasp and then, in addition, you tell us what we could consider saying to our clients to help them escape being held hostage to the emotional hijacking. I love it. It speaks of so much compassion.Tracey-Leigh Wessels

“Thank you for a phenomenal presentation! We were delighted to have Debra Dupree from Relationships That Matter as a guest speaker at our first annual Southeast Organizational & Leadership Summit on Workplace Conflict Management practices in Atlanta, GA on October 7, 2009.“ As a polished and professional speaker, Debra’s presentation on WORK CLIMATE STUDIES: Assessing the Organization for Sources of Conflict was well-received among the professionals attending the Summit. Her presentation received high praises.

Your dynamism and ability to meaningfully connect with a diverse audience is exceptional. During our engagement, the depth of your expertise and your capability to coach people in difficult circumstances was very evident. I would recommend that anyone in conflict, whether it was workplace-related, a divorce or other personal situation, bring you in as a trusted resource.
