Debrah’s insights as an experienced physician leader, with her background as an accomplished clinician and Executive Coach, make her both relatable and effective. She asked thought-provoking questions that helped me clarify my goals and priorities, and she gave me valuable action items for “homework” that ultimately led to a successful career transition in a timeframe I would never have believed possible! She helped me recognize the importance of “taking stock” of my skills, strengths, and aspirations in taking the leap into the unknown from a clinical career. She gave me the confidence to become the person I always knew I could be.

I took Debrah's course, Confidence in Professional Women.  It was life changing.  I became aware of how my environment affects me and how I can better respond to it.  My newfound confidence has empowered me to move my career in the direction I want, and has helped me acquire the skills to do so.  It has also given me more insight into interactions in my personal life.

I completed two one hour preparatory sessions over Zoom with Dr. Wirtzfeld to help me prepare for my CARMS interviews in Cardiac Surgery.  Working with Dr. Wirtzfeld was very helpful and certainly improved my interview performance.  I successfully matched to my program of choice.  Practicing with her was realistic and provided me with confidence that I carried into my interviews.  Her insights helped me to best present my story, thoughts and feelings to my interviewers.  I would recommend Dr. Wirtzfeld's services to those students wishing to improve their interview performance.
