Commit to Developing All Employees

Deborah Brooks Pettry, Ph.D., is partner and co-founder of LearningZenith, a firm that helps Talent Development and Human Resource professionals create and deliver experiential workshops that are as memorable and effective online as they are in person. Deb and her partner Rich Mayhew have devoted much of their careers to experiential development for leaders and teams. When Covid threw face-to-face experiential development off its foundations, Deb and Rich committed themselves to developing powerful online learning that can be delivered by their clients or by themselves without extra software, equipment or expense. You can see their growing line of options at LearningZenith.com.Two additional projects take her time right now. The first is a series of interviews with people whose workplaces were impacted by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The interviews focus on how people coped with the aftermath of the attacks as they returned to greatly changed workplaces, with lessons for returning to our post-COVID work. The second project is writing up the results and implications of a survey to research what competencies are important for effective remote leadership, from the perspective of the people who are being led.Deb also provides executive coaching, leadership workshops, and strategic facilitation through her own separate business Executive Rehearsal and as on-call faculty for Center for Creative Leadership. For several years she was a “Friend of the Forum” for ATD. An Indiana native (IU and Purdue grad), she was a long-time San Diego resident, where she was Board Chair for award-winning Cygnet Theatre. Today she lives in Corrales, New Mexico.
