Who is Deb Dib?

Deb Dib is a career industry trend watcher, personal brand expert, and CEO coach featured in the Wall Street Journal, Newsday, Fox News, 30+ nationally published career books, and the CareerHub blog (named one of the top-25 career blogs for 2007).

Deb partners with entrepreneurial leaders and practice professionals heading North American companies/divisions/practices, or working as senior-level ex-pats in Europe or Asia Pacific. Typically 35 to 55+, very senior level, C-level, (or on the fast track), Deb Dib's clients are high energy, excited by new ideas, and eager to execute. Driven by people and innovation, pragmatism and passion, they often lead enlightened companies or practices that deliver robust profits and make a difference.

Whether coaching clients internally (for internal branding, performance improvement, team management, or executive preparedness) or externally for job search or career management, Deb is all about reality. Her clients have risen to heights where their trusted advisors are few, and it is often difficult to find honest feedback or a confidential environment in which to discuss challenges. Deb acts as their sounding board and partners with them to create pathways to success based on the real and true, not the perceived. In addition, she helps them merge their personal brand with the corporate brand for true leadership that creates a unified message, rather than confusion in the marketplace.

A frequent presenter on best practices and emerging trends in personal branding, resume writing, and career management, Deb speaks frequently at national career conferences and business groups. She most recently spoke at the groundbreaking Brand You World Global Telesummit and the Kennedy Recruiting Conference.

Deb Dib was among the first Certified Personal Brand Strategists in the world and is coauthor (with William Arruda) of the soon-to-be-released Executive Branding Manifesto. she serves on the Board of Directors of the Career Management Alliance.

A self-described “learning junkie,” Deb is constantly learning and innovating.
