Praise for Debbie Nicholson:
I have been in a Wide-Format Peer Group facilitated by Debbie Nicholson for two years. I have grown and improved in Wide-Format sales and production with Debbie’s guidance and direction. Two things that set her above is her knowledge of the business and her creativity. Debbie has a passion for teaching and uplifting people who study under her. Her ideas, methods, and product knowledge have helped my staff and me to sell beyond the average Wide-Format printing company. And, it doesn’t stop there; she taught us the importance of presenting the final product! It has brought tears of joy to my customers when done right, assuring us as the "go-to" company for all Wide-Format Projects.

It has been said to always leave things better than you found them...especially people. Debbie Nicholson's passion for the wide format industry and, more importantly, for people is unparalleled. It has been an amazing experience to work with Debbie and we can't express enough gratitude for her support, training and desire to elevate our people and our brand. She will tackle any project with which we ask for her assistance and will go above and beyond to ensure that success is attained. Her vast knowledge of wide format/signage coupled with her customer-centric support, have helped us establish and grow our wide format department in ways we couldn't dream of. Debbie is truly an industry pillar! Thanks a bunch, Debbie! We are certainly better than before we met you!!

"There is no one else like her in the Wide-Format industry with such vast technical and design knowledge; she has unselfish standards for excellence and has support and commitment from Wide-Format industry manufacturers and distributors. Debbie’s uncanny gift is that she can quickly recognize and advise how to clean-up a company's bad habits and elevate an organization's probability of success - that exceeds its ambitions."

The value and knowledge she demonstrates set Debbie apart as a women leader. She even challenges me to think deeper to discover new ideas and deliver successful solutions to my clients. Her influence and energy empower me to believe there is so much more to achieve in our industry. Genuinely, I think Debbie is motivated by helping others grow to reach their potential.
