I have had the pleasure of being an Executive Coaching Client of Deb for several years. I began with one-on-one sessions three roles ago and have continued to benefit from Deb's services up to the present day, for both myself and my business in West Hartford and Windsor, Connecticut. Deb brings a unique balance of attentive listening, caring, and sharing her wealth of experience and ideas. Her coaching has helped me develop the skills to effectively handle various situations and resources using the tools and self-awareness she has imparted.

ARCTOS Technology Solutions, a leading provider of aerospace systems engineering and manufacturing solutions to the USAF and USSF, engaged with Bercume Associates to provide executive coaching and team development with the goal of optimizing executive team and individual performance. Our engagement included a combination of 1-1 coaching sessions and team workshops/exercises. Working with Deb Bercume was an absolute pleasure. Her expertise and guidance were instrumental in enabling our executive team to become more cohesive, collaborative, and ultimately more effective resulting in company performance that exceeded plan and board expectations during the last fiscal year. Through her insightful coaching techniques, she helped us identify and address any communications gaps, fostering a stronger sense of unity and shared goals. Her ability to understand our unique dynamics and tailor her approach accordingly was truly impressive. I highly recommend Bercume Associates to any organization looking to enhance their executive team’s performance and achieve outstanding results.

Lee Kennedy Company’s experience with Bercume Associates Inc. was incredibly positive and successful. Deb and Sue worked with our emerging leaders to practice their leadership skills including strategic thinking, decision making, presentation skills, and becoming an emotionally intelligent leader. Our employees were allowed to practice the skills that they needed in a safe space.  Deb and Sue are professional and knowledgeable and created a positive learning environment. Our emerging leaders left each session with valuable skills that they could implement in real-time. We appreciate that this class was tailored to our company’s needs, and we look forward to working with the Bercume team in the future.

The Connecticut Science Center has been using Bercume Associates to facilitate annual manager training and staff surveys for several years.   Deb and Sue always deliver the knowledge and skills our young team needs to grow and be effective leaders.  They work with me to make the sessions relevant to the organization and work within our time constraints.  Training classes, feedback from survey results or just general conversations are honest, to the point and always come with potential solutions.   Deb and Sue are effective facilitators, down to earth and easy to work with.  They are my first choice when I need support for our team.

Deb Bercume has been an exceptional partner in supporting our work around DiSC.  Her deep knowledge of the tool and ability to explain it to help us understand and appreciate the benefits of each DiSC  style is second to none.  We have used our understanding of DiSC styles as a way to appreciate the needs of others on the team and what drives them.  It has strengthened our team and led to a deeper appreciation for approaches and perspectives.   In addition to her expertise and responsiveness, she is an incredible facilitator who is engaging, funny and quick witted.  Deb is a true professional who knows her stuff.
