About

In 2017, Debbie’s debut non-fiction manuscript Survivors Club skyrocketed onto the New York Times bestseller list and launched her into the world of public speaking. She began traveling the country alongside her co-author and father as a professional presenter with the Macmillan Speakers Bureau. Debbie suddenly found herself on the other side of the camera giving interviews on Holocaust remembrance, empathy and tolerance to network news stations around the world.

Throughout her career she has produced content from the field, in the newsroom, and from the control room. She has pitched thousands of stories for live shows and given interviews on-air as an author. Debbie now brings that unique 360-degree view— along with an empathy and understanding of the anxiety those hot lights can bring— to clients across the spectrum. Her results-oriented coaching helps ready even the most camera-shy clients for broadcast news and podcast appearances.

Testimonials

“Debbie not only provided the physicians…with basic information on proper messaging, effective use of backgrounds and lighting, and expectations when interacting with reporters and producers, but she also gave several the much-needed confidence they need to more readily agree to do interviews (which has always been one of my biggest challenges at the hospital). She got her points across in an entertaining and engaging manner and left each participant feeling that the time was well spent.”

“…Debbie not only provided the physicians – who have a range of media experiences (from virtually none to a dozen or more NYC in-studio and TV news station interviews) with basic information on proper messaging, effective use of backgrounds and lighting, and expectations when interacting with reporters and producers, but she also gave several the much-needed confidence they need to more readily agree to do interviews (which has always been one of my biggest challenges at the hospital). She got her points across in an entertaining and engaging manner and left each participant feeling that the time was well spent.”
