Courses by Deborah Grayson Riegel

If you are a busy professional who knows that your job—and your career—depend on being able to communicate clearly and concisely, manage leaders and team with confidence and credibility, and coach colleagues and clients to be self-directed and self-motivated, then I have a course (or two, or three) for you!
I created these asynchronous, online courses for anyone who wants to have more impact and influence at work — and in life. I have been teaching and coaching communication, presentation, supervision, coaching, and leadership skills for over three decades, across industries and around the world, including Fortune 50 companies, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and Ivy League academic institutions.
These courses represent my most requested, most tested, and most well-reviewed tips, tools, and techniques that I use with my clients. They are fast-paced and fun (yes, really!), and you’ll get the best of the best from my years of experience teaching and coaching busy professionals at all levels, my commitment to using research-based strategies from psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics, etc., my personal experience as a parent of twins (talk about conflict!); as well as a taste of my background in stand-up and improvisational comedy.
What are you waiting for? (You could already have learned 3 new skills in the time it took you to read this!) Join thousands of other busy professionals from around the world and give yourself a competitive, communicative edge to help you advance in your job and career.

How to Stay Positive When Everything Feels Negative
For much of my personal life, I wrestled with negative thinking, while in my professional life, I helped tens of thousands of my clients change their mindsets, behaviors, approaches, and practices.
And that’s when I realized that positivity isn’t something you’re born with; it’s a series of small, meaningful, manageable practices that anyone (including myself) can learn to use.
