Hi, I'm Deb Gaut.
I coach, speak, and write about leadership and success at the corner of creativity, innovation, and community. Creatives, innovators, and difference makers become my clients because they want to create bold visions for themselves, overcome obstacles with courage and determination, and move confidently toward the future. They know that courageous, confident, visionary leaders attract likeminded people, achieve remarkable feats, and make a greater difference in the world. I show them how to dream bigger dreams, plan for exponential success, and make their visions a reality.
Me, Myself, and I
If you ever watched Inside the Actor's Studio with James Lipton or read Vanity Fair magazine, you're probably familiar with The Proust Questionnaire - a Victorian parlor game originally popularized by Marcel Proust, the French essayist and novelist. Proust believed that we reveal our true natures in our answers to these 20 questions. Here are my answers. What about you?
What is your idea of perfect happiness? Traveling the world
