Debon is an incredible coach and moreover an incredible person. His coaching support for me has helped me cultivate a clear professional trajectory and 5-10 year plan/strategy of multimodal projects and career advancement. He is an empathetic and active listener, strong communicator, and team builder/leader. He approaches every challenge and opportunity with his ethics, family values and community at the center; ultimately this represents his core and shapes all decisions and recommendations/feedback that he provides. I would recommend him to all people seeking professional support and guidance.

Debon is an outstanding executive coach who provides valuable insight to me as both a client facing banker and manager of managers. During my time seeing him I have been promoted with a new title and national coverage responsibilities. His strong communication skills coupled with is ability to actively listen creates a safe space to be vulnerable and self-aware. I am a strong believer in the old adage, “iron sharpens iron” and that is exactly what happens during my sessions with Debon.

Donavan Tracey Jr.
Chief Academic Officer, YouthBuild Preparatory Academy

During a pivotal moment in my school leadership journey, I had the opportunity to be coached by Debon. As a novice leader navigating both the complexities of supporting my school community and my own growing pains, our work together challenged me to confront limiting mindsets that were holding me back. While every leader encounters barriers, I realized that meaningful growth begins with acknowledging my own role in the challenges I faced.

Thanks to the psychological safety Debon created, we were able to have the kind of deep, transformative conversations that pushed me to grow. The foundational skills I developed through our coaching relationship have been essential to my leadership journey. I appreciate you, Debon!

"Debon Lewis is one of the best I’ve known to do this incredibly important work! If we are pushing others to be the best version of themselves, how can we do that without a strong personal foundation for ourselves. That part hit. Thanks Debo, for all the good you bring to this world."
