So engaging and easy to chat with Debra!
I thoroughly enjoyed being a guest on Have a Seat! Debra was lovely to work with and brought such intentionality and thoughtfulness to the questions she asked. Our conversation felt so easy and natural because of how lovely a human she is. Thank you for having Huong and I on your show, Debra, and for holding space for conversations about women and their career journeys!

The best guest experience
I stumbled upon Debra’s podcast a couple years ago while searching for relatable, authentic conversations about the experience of women in the workplace. Once I found her podcast, I knew I wanted to talk to her! So I submitted a suggestion for my business partner and I to connect with Debra, and we finally made it happen! I couldn’t be happier with how our conversation went. Debra has clearly done her research on our work and the topic that we were discussing (preventing burnout at work). She made both of us feel at ease and asked insightful questions that sparked such an interesting conversation. Thank you for having us, Debra!

Powerful Conversations Rooted in Purpose and Representation
Being guests on Have a Seat with Deb was such an affirming and powerful experience. From the moment we joined, Deb created a space that felt safe, intentional, and energizing. We thoroughly enjoyed diving into meaningful conversations about Executive Assistant leadership, confidence for women of color, and the mission behind The Black Executive Assistant (BEA) Network, which is centered on community, connection, and representation. Deb’s thoughtful questions gave us room to share our journeys and vision with depth and authenticity. Her platform not only amplifies our voices but also champions the profession in a way that resonates deeply. We’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of this conversation and excited for listeners to connect with our shared passion and purpose. Thank you, Deb, for the heart, humor, and professionalism you bring to this important space!

Grounded, Insightful Host Who Makes You Feel Instantly at Home
Being a guest on Debra's podcast was an absolute joy. She has a calm, thoughtful energy that made me feel completely at ease — like I was having a coffee chat with a close friend. Our conversation flowed so naturally, and she asked questions that helped me see my own work through a fresh, deeper lens. Debra brings insight, warmth, and genuine curiosity to her interviews, and as a guest, I truly felt seen, supported, and inspired. I gained just as much from our conversation as I hope her audience did. I'm so grateful for the experience and appreciate her thoughtful hosting.

Fun & Conversational
I truly enjoyed being a guest on the podcast. Just like the title says, it was just like sitting down and having a conversation about women in the workplace. As a long-time entrepreneur myself and now with a business that supports women entrepreneurs, the conversation flowed easily around a number of topics. I believe any woman on an entrepreneurial journey, from early stage to experienced CEO, will be able to appreciate and find value in what was shared.

Thoughtful, insightful podcast host
I was a guest on the Have A Seat podcast with Deb Coleman and wholeheartedly enjoyed the experience. Without knowing what Deb was going to ask me, the conversation felt completely organic. She posed insightful questions and had thoughtful reflections of her own. It felt like a rich conversation even if it was only about 30 minutes. After being a guest on dozens of podcasts, I have to say that this was one of my favorites.
