Kick off the 2009-2010 MPI MN year at its August meeting! First, you will be able to find out more about all the committees from MPI MN, including Membership, Education, Finance, Community Outreach, Leadership, and Communications, AND how you can get involved to keep our chapter moving forward, Meeting with Purpose!
Everything we do, individually or collectively, is a portrait of who we are and what we represent. You make lots of passionate decisions at work and at home. Yet do you know—especially in today’s wacky world—what it’s going to take for you to really be successful? What’s it going to take to move you into a new way of thinking? Or how do you win in everything you do?
Many people seem to choose a side at the expense of their company, organization, and their own personal goals. Therefore, achievements don’t happen as often. Well, now is the time to reposition your thought process, get rid of complacency, and become competitive so you can be more profitable than ever.
Due to Deborah’s 25 years in the hospitality profession, understanding her client needs is a natural. Her clients (such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Marriott Hotels, Crowne Plaza Hotels, InterContinental Hotels, Meeting Professionals International, Sheraton Hotels, Non-Ferrous Society, American Express, HSMAI, Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association, University of Mexico, and Arizona Hospitality Expo) see immediate results through the customized programs that she creates. They attest to her ability to deliver an electrifying MEGA learning experience that challenges her audiences so everyone becomes their BEST!
She is a member of the National Speakers Association (NSA), immediate past president for the Arizona Sunbelt Meeting Professional International Chapter (AZ-MPI), and Arizona State University project director of the MPI-CMP online study guide. She is the author of
