Deborah Burns
As a media chief innovation officer turned founder and award-winning author, Deborah Burns’ story has always been about invention and reinvention. She’s lived those two keywords with brands and clients throughout her career, and she’s lived them in a life full of more twists and turns than she can tally. Now Deborah helps businesses and people invent and reinvent their companies, careers, and lives. Her second book—Authorize it! Think Like a Writer to Win at Work & Life—joins her virtual corporate Workshops and online Courses to nurture talent, inspire personal and professional development, and help everyone live up to their potential and have more successful careers. AUTHORIZE IT! blends Deborah’s strategic business expertise with all the creative lessons she learned from the world of storytelling while writing her acclaimed debut memoir, Saturday’s Child. Featured in The Hollywood Reporter, Forbes, Refinery29, Entertainment Weekly, Parade, Thrive Global, LA Times, NY Post, Brit + Co, and PopSugar, Deborah’s own evolution spans leading brands like ELLEgirl, Metropolitan Home, ELLE Décor, and ELLE International to founding two brands of her own: media consulting firm DJB Ventures and, after earning her C.P.C. credentials, Skirting the Rules® to help women reinvent.
