"I have known and worked with Debbie Simons in various capacities for over 15 years. One of the many things that I admire about Debbie is that she has that rare ability oversee and attend to every detail needed to make a project successful and at the same time is the driving force creatively. Over the years, I have worked with Debbie in many capacities, including partnering on the opening of the Fresh Start Women’s Foundation with the company she was employed at, to enticing her to co-chair the Fresh Start Fashion gala, where she successfully broke the one million dollar barrier to help women in need, to hiring her to take Fresh Start to the next level in the areas of branding, marketing and development. Most recently we hired Debbie and her company to revamp our 20-year fundraiser, which was a huge success. Debbie's growth lead her to follow her dreams and start own consulting business, which I am personally very proud of, because helping women reach their dreams is a big part of what the Fresh Start organization is all about. I think what makes Debbie stand apart is that she is always willing to look at an event or situation and take it to the next level; she is incredibly goal driven and takes on any project as if it were her own. Hiring Debbie means your event or project will not only be done, but will exceed everyone's expectations!"

Founder/Fresh Start Women's Foundation
"As an individual who is active in the business and philanthropic world, I have to set my standards high when working with professionals as a team to get the job done. Over the years, I have worked with a myriad of different individuals and firms to support and lead my efforts in running my business and volunteer activities. In that time, I have been immensely pleased with the work product and outcomes provided by Debbie Simons and her independent consulting firm. I have been involved with boards of directors, events and fund raisers with Debbie and have found her to be accountable, reliable and very forward thinking. She understands “return on investment” and is a master at keeping expenses in-line with any size budget. She is motivated, committed, hardworking and driven. She accomplishes all of this with a cheerful demeanor and a “can do” attitude. She is an excellent leader and organizer. Her commitment to excellence is outcome driven and she requires that same resolve out of those she works with. I continue to recommend her for leadership roles, events, fund raising, organization mentoring, leadership training, value analysis, advertising and branding, as well as project management. She is an excellent leader or member of any team with which she works."

"This is truly a testimonial to the work that Ms. Simons has performed for our organization. I am the chairmen of a charitable foundation that is part of a country club in the greater Phoenix area. We engaged Ms. Simons in mid-2013 to develop a survey and gather information for our organization. She handled the project in an outstanding manner. The information was gathered and reported back to us in a meeting of the committee members. During the process she kept us up to date on all of the progress. She met all of our deadlines. Cost was well within our budgeted amount. Ms. Simons performed her work in an outstanding manner."

She had things done ahead of schedule and helped keep the entire event on track. Debbie was also instrumental in introducing us to major sponsors and in finding our entertainment that pleased everyone, including our budget! When all was said and done, thanks to Debbie, we raised a lot of money to help the women of Fresh Start!"
