One True You, LLC

“Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny”. I’ve always liked this quote. It’s seems like everyday life provides obstacles for achieving the destiny. I had the privilege of attending One True You workshop. Although everyone had a different destiny, the support provided enabled me to discover the tools necessary to overcome the obstacles. Thank you Debbie for providing the vision and clarity to see that the road to my destiny is achievable.

I came to the US in early 2017. Until then, my career went quite well, and after years of success, I had the opportunity to move to the USA as part of an EXPAT program. I knew that moving to a different country, and leaving family and friends would not be easy, but I was confident to manage this adventure as I always did in the past.It started to work out as planned, but then slowly became more difficult to perform as usual after some organizational changes, uncertainty about my capabilities, issues communicating effectively, and my time management didn't work anymore. I was struggling with delivering, and performing as I did in the past was not possible. It started impacting my personal life. At this point, I followed my wife's advice and met with Debbie Petropoulos, a friend of my wife she met in her yoga, and I have never regretted that decision.Debbie helped me identify where I'm struggling, what is driving uncertainty, and how I can get back on track. In her way of coaching, using different techniques, she challenged me, and held me accountable for things I wanted to change. Listening and asking the right questions opened my mind and showed me where I was struggling and how I can fix the challenges. Finally, with Debbie's help, I got back on track to the performance I was used to. But it was not only the Job" I got better at. I became more aware of my values and what is important to me. I gained an awareness of what is the purpose that is driving me to be successful and happy in my life. Not just business.Looking backward and summarizing

I was in a high-stress job with my work-life balance totally out of whack when I started meeting with Debbie. She helped me focus on my goals and steps to take to make it happen. With her help, I was able to clarify my wants and needs and set about making a change. It paid off immensely as I was able to secure a much better job and achieve the work-life balance I desired.

The first time I met with Debbie she changed my outlook on my job search! She helped me to narrow my focus and it worked - within a couple of weeks I landed my dream job! The questions Debbie asks get you to think deep and help you discover your goals and passions. After discovering your goals Debbie helps you put a plan together to achieve them! I would highly recommend Debbie for anyone in job transition or planning the future of their career!

I am excited to share my experience about the services from Deborah Petropoulos. I was lost in chaos and just mentally blocked on what I needed to do in many aspects of my life and work. After some coaching sessions there was clarity on what I needed to do to reach my dreams. The benefits of working with a great life coach such as Deborah, is that she is an excellent listener and understands the challenges with relationships, raising kids, and work/life balance. With Deborah's coaching, I was able to grow my real estate business into millions of dollars in assets and services, and being a better husband and father.

Research, Owner Blue Chamomile Reflexology and AromatherapyI was very inspired by Debbie’s workshop where we covered so much ground in just an afternoon. It made me think about my direction in life, and want to invite the good things that we had talked about.I continued the stepping stones from the workshop with Debbie’s personal coaching which has really helped me to focus on moving forward with short and long term goals and also coping skills for every day.Debbie uses professional coaching tools to structure her sessions, but is always sensitive to personal needs and issues that may crop up, and adjusts the time spent to be exactly what is needed.She is always encouraging, kind and positive and also helps me to keep my own promises to myself on a personal and professional level.She provides relevant homework to support the session and always sends a comprehensive summary for referring to afterwards.I would truly recommend her coaching to anyone who would like to progress their self-development in a very holistic, professional and supported way.

Susan Hanson – Finance Manager“I really do miss talking with you. Our career and life coaching work together helped me through my career transition, provided guidance through challenges with my health and personal relationships, and inspired me to envision a new direction (and location) for my life.I was in the most stressful job of my entire career and feeling the effects of that in numerous ways when I ran into you while walking my dogs past your house. You happened to be outside, so we reconnected from our days working together in a women’s leadership network. I remember you gave me 2 or 3 insightful questions to ask myself, regarding my job. As I walked home, I had the most intense feeling that I needed to hire you!And so the relationship began. I really had no goals, just a general idea of where I might want to go, and needed help getting there. Your tools, guided exercises and homework assignments led me through the process of goal setting and defining the life I wanted to live. They were not always easy, but you held me accountable and a vision took shape.Part of that vision was moving to a warmer climate, which I had loosely planned for 5 years down the road. And I didn’t know if I could really even do that. Exactly two years after our coaching began, I made the move to Florida. I’m now living a life very close to that writing assignment of “a day in my life 5 years out”. Without a doubt, I would not have been able to do so without your guidance.Our coaching relationship benefited me in so many ways. It really has changed my attitude and outlook on life. On the road trip from Illinois to my new life in Florida, I picked up two magnets that say it all. One has the image of a map on it with the words “Create your own happy”. The other a dog jumping over a fence and inscribed “Live like someone left the gate open”. I look at them every day to remind myself how great life can be when you recognize that you have choices and act on them.It’s been 3 years since my move and I still have to pinch myself. I love the insight I gained and the new life that I’m living. Your coaching was a great experience and well worth the work. I will be forever grateful.

Upon entering Debbie's group coaching event, all worry and the heaviness of the world leaves you. It began with the amazing location which immediately brought peace. Debbie's coaching style is one of love, truth and understanding. The day simply flew by and my energy and thoughts were aligned with my goals through a process of guidance, thought and action.

Debbie and I have been friends for years. We have had similar paths in IT and Project Management with different companies. Debbie does not only provide excellent advice and council but has lived through similar episodes in the past. As a result of those times when hope was difficult to find and support seemed non-existent Debbie decided to dedicate herself to helping others benefit from her knowledge of how it feels and what it takes to take another path; perhaps one better-suited to one's needs than any they had ever considered before.Debbie is very passionate about her line of work. The reaction from those who have attended her workshops and/or worked with her on an individual basis is overwhelmingly positive.I highly recommend going to a workshop and getting to know her. I'm sure you will be happy that you did take the step.

I have worked with Debbie over the last few years and have also attended some of her workshops and she is fabulous! A true professional that provides guidance, clarity, and is focused on making sure you meet your objectives both personally and professionally - I could not have asked for a better life coach! She has a very thoughtful and targeted approach. She meets you where you are at in your life to help you get to the next stage or through any transition professionally or personally. She is dedicated and makes sure that you are heading towards success but in a demeanor that is non-judgmental or harsh - it’s the perfect balance! If you follow her guidance and you do the work, you’ll have successful outcomes. I moved from an unsatisfactory and unfulfilling job to having my own successful business and time to do the things I enjoy most! I recommend her to colleagues, family, and friends! You will not be disappointed!
