Bio: Deborah Brown-Volkman, PCC is a nationally recognized Certified Career Coach, Career Reinvention Expert, and Career Goals Advisor to Fortune 500 Executives. With over two decades of experience, Deborah helps professionals move from frustration and stagnation into meaningful, purpose-driven work they love.
Deborah is also a LinkedIn Professional Presence Strategist, known for helping job seekers and employed professionals elevate their visibility in today’s competitive marketplace. Her LinkedIn superpower is guiding clients to transform their online presence so they can attract recruiters, hiring managers, and new career opportunities. Her practical, real-world advice resonates across industries, and her short-form LinkedIn videos have generated over 6 million impressions, making her a go-to voice for career transformation and online visibility.
Before transitioning into coaching, Deborah spent 12 years in corporate New York City. Though she had the title and the success, she felt unfulfilled; an experience that became the catalyst for her life’s work. She now works with clients at every stage of their career journey, including executives from companies like Facebook, Google, Verizon, and Citibank.
Deborah has detailed her journey through writing and she is the author of 8 books, most recently publishing “Embrace Your Calling: Your Career Reinvention Guide To Meaningful, Fulfilling Work” and “Childhood Trauma. Some Rise. Some Fall. How to be one of the lucky ones that get back up.”
Deborah blends deep professional experience with intuitive insight and proven strategy, offering challenge and compassion to her clients; whether they’re starting out, stepping into leadership, or reinventing after decades in the workforce.
Deborah’s philosophy is simple but powerful: clarity, consistency, and community are the keys to long-term career success and no one should have to navigate a career reinvention alone.
