Exciting Developments!
Connect2 Growth
Twenty-five years ago, I dedicated my business to accompanying leaders through the twists and turns of their lives and work. I'm beyond honored that, during their most difficult moments, nearly a thousand clients have turned to me as their thought partner for creating and implementing viable plans to move forward.
In my heart as a Crisis Navigation Partner® (CNP), I've long envisioned a greater order of magnitude of professionals experiencing the benefits of leading with confidence and authenticity, even in the midst of adversity. Yet we humans have limited capacity: 168 hours per week.
Now, both of my kids are in their final years of college, at a moment when our world is increasingly challenging. It feels like the right time to start serving on a larger scale.
Therefore, I am thrilled to announce the newly expanded Connect2 Corporation, featuring a freshly updated website and two outstanding Associate CNPs®. I love working closely with Maria Yunis and Cindy Nacson-Schechter. Their perspectives, insights, and support are extremely valuable to me, as I know they will be to Connect2 clients. Please join me in welcoming them!
Maria Yunis
Associate CNP®
"I am passionate about empowering women through the challenging times we face, especially in midlife, as often that's when we become Point People for our loved ones.
Having served as a Point Person numerous times in my life, I wholeheartedly believe in the work of Connect2 and what is possible with the right support.
I've known Debra for several decades. She walks her talk and is true to her word. I believe in this work to my core—I believe in the mission and the methods and resources she's developed.
When she presented this opportunity to me, it was one of those aligned moments and my immediate response was a resounding, 'Yes, of course!'
I'm excited to work with this team and serve in this way."
Maria is known for her warmth and her clear, authentic communication. As a Crisis Navigation Partner®, Maria brings genuine curiosity and skillful inquiry to create powerful insights that guide her clients forward.
Cindy Nacson-Schechter
Associate CNP®
"I have been Point Person throughout my husband's multiple health scares - including broken bones, surgeries and cancer. Marriage includes this role, one I have held while having young (and now young adult!) children, losing my father, and struggling with both my own and other family members' mental health issues.
Although life seems never to slow down, I grew tremendously from these experiences, found my ideal combination of medication and therapy, and now see my future in a whole new light.
I have known Debra for over 30 years and have been privileged to observe her thrive as a coach and Crisis Navigation Partner®.
Now that I'm a trained CNP® too, I apply my tools and ability to be powerfully present throughout other Point Persons' most challenging moments. I am proud to be part of this incredible team and excited to provide support and strength to others who need it."
Cindy has a knack for making clients, especially parents, feel both seen and heard. She excels at streamlining and "Cinthesizing" (patent pending!) information to extract its highest value for her clients.
