Are They Ready?

Keep and ready the leaders you can’t afford to lose

Leadership That Is: Ready to Lead

Equipped to Stay

Built to Grow

Readiness Isn’t a Trait…It’s a System.

Debbie Peterson is the leadership readiness expert organizations call when they’re tired of losing the wrong people or promoting the right ones before they’re ready.

Through her proprietary keynote, The Readiness Reset™ , Debbie helps high-potential and high-performing leaders reconnect to what matters, recommit to how they lead, and move forward with focus and staying power.

This isn’t about motivation. It’s about a measurable shift in how your leaders think, decide, and act—because readiness isn’t a soft skill. It’s your strongest retention strategy.

With a background in corporate leadership and deep expertise in mindset and performance systems, Debbie delivers keynotes that blend sharp insight with real tools. Her sessions are interactive, personalized, and immediately actionable.

The result? Leaders who stop questioning themselves and start showing up ready.

Readiness means knowing what matters and having the capacity to act, even when the path isn’t clear.

Hi. I’m Debbie Peterson – Leadership Readiness Expert, Keynote Speaker and creator of The Readiness Reset.

I know what it feels like to be in a respected leadership role and still feel like you’re quietly falling apart. Years ago, I found myself successful on the outside but stuck, questioning everything—my value, my impact, my next move.

What changed everything wasn’t a promotion or a perk. It was discovering the power of clarity: clarity about what mattered, why I was here, and how I was going to lead from that place.

That moment didn’t just change my career. It became my mission.

Today, I work with organizations who can’t afford to lose their top talent and don’t want to promote people before they’re ready. Through my keynote, The Readiness Reset™, and my proprietary Clarity Compass™ framework, I help leaders reconnect to their purpose, realign with their vision, and take meaningful action with staying power.

Because when leaders are ready, they don’t just perform. They stay, grow, and lead others to do the same.

{What an honor to work alongside Debbie Peterson to enhance our LEAD Retreat for the Community Bankers in Georgia. Debbie has great content. Most of all, she is a professional who has a process to work alongside organizations to bring more than content. We asked Debbie to Emcee our event too; helping us tie each speaker’s topic back to the learning goals. Our bankers raved about this year’s program. We look forward to inviting Debbie back to Georgia.
