Deb is one of those rare people that when you get to know them, you feel lucky to be included in their circle of friends. Her professionalism is second-to-none. Her wealth of ideas is seemingly limitless. And her ability to get you excited about thinking "what if?" is, quite literally, infectious. I've been privileged to work with Deb on several projects and she's always quick to go above and beyond on her involvement, as well as bring out the best in whomever she's working with. Beyond that, her uplifting personality ensures she always brings a smile to my face whenever I see her!" March 19, 2010

Deborah is one of the
most valuable people in my network. I am amazed at the breadth and
depth of her knowledge and the people she knows. She embodies the
spirit of innovation by immersing herself in new ideas and perspectives,
reading widely and fostering connections among a diverse group of
people. I have grown tremendously during in the three years I have
known Deborah, simply by being open to the different perspectives she
shares, following discussion forums she initiates and taking advantage
of opportunities to meet other people in her network.

my #1 business advisor. Deb understands business from start-up to Fortune 100
accross many industry sectors and effectively adapts her expertise to fit the
needs of that business. She is a joy to work with but delivers the results I
need. Anyone who is looking to grow and improve their business should strongly
consider Deb to assist them. I continue to refer Deb to my closest clients
without reservation.

Success Stories | TESTIMONIALS | Mills-Scofield LLC
The robust process and expertise of Deb works for all types, sizes, and complexity of businesses. We wouldn’t have had so much clarity without the formalized process and expertise of Deb facilitating. A major unexpected outcome was the team building that took place during the exercises. This may be the most powerful outcome above and beyond the alignment around strategies and tactics. The teamwork aspect was excellent!

Deb does an outstanding job of preparing and facilitating a strategic planning process that delivers actionable items to address. She let the dialog continue when needed and jumped in when we veered off-course. I highly recommend her whether you are going through a strategic planning process the first time or are developing a new plan.

promised. She is a great people connector and developer.

"Time is money," "you get what you pay for," "penny-wise pound foolish" "can't see the Forest for the trees" - we use idioms too easily or quickly express analysis, thoughts or ideas. All too often, these miss the point of the matter. Deborah Mills-Scofield doesn't use idioms or the quick turn of phase to express her thoughts nor does she miss the point of the matter, the future of your business. Her analysis is honest, well thought out, based upon empirical evidence,
expressed in understandable language and supported with reasoned
logic.

Deb Mills-Scofield is a consummate strategic planner. Her experience is substantial. She knows the elements of strategic planning, an effective progression for tackling them, and how to synthesize them into a coordinated, seamless, workable plan. She has a planning tool that helps to work through the issues, then hold stakeholders accountable. She is not a miracle worker. Companies that are lazy and/or inept will do better to shut their doors and not bother. She is a coach. Those who wish to take their enterprise to a higher level, who are committed to each other and the process, will do well to engage Ms. Mills-Scofield.

The Strategic Alignment process and session exceeded my expectations. We created a clear roadmap, with timeframes and expectations that lays
a strong foundation of which we can be very proud and will allow us to
be around for a long time. Deb did a great job of facilitating. What
I appreciated best was that she carried us in her heart and did
everything she could do to assure our success and will do everything in
her power to ensure we execute.

Deb did a remarkable job of asking targeted questions and guiding our direction to help us define the key business focus areas for the company. She encouraged and directed our
assessment of our strengths and weaknesses to help us recognize where to
target funds for growing the company. She is outstanding at reducing
the convoluted descriptions of markets and technology to succinct and
accurate statements. It is very satisfying to be in the hands of a
professional guide as we try to weather the usual entrepreneurial
challenges.
