Deborah Ostreicher has over 25 years of experience in doing business around the globe, holding leadership positions in various organizations from high-tech and aviation to tourism and non-profits. Her career took her overseas for a decade before returning to the US as her base. She credits much of her success to her ability to communicate.

 

Now she is sharing her secrets with you as a professional speech and leadership communications coach. Hundreds of clients sing her praises and point to her training as key to their professional growth. Her ability to bring out the best of individuals, while showcasing their knowledge is an art and she is a true artist.

 

Performing in public from the age of five as a musician and dancer led her to winning roles in musical theatre and comedy. She earned her undergraduate degree in Liberal Arts from the University of Maryland, College Park; her MBA in International Business at the American University, Washington, D.C. and her certificate in Leadership Communications from Harvard University, Cambridge. 

She created Distinguished Communications to empower individuals, teams and companies through effective communication.  Deborah says, "Watching clients evolve into stellar presenters and being a part of the positive impact it has on their work and self confidence is the most rewarding part of my job."
