Profile
Dr. Lisa Brabo & Dr. Debi Yohn ”Your presentation gave me new eyes.” Along with training, Dr. Brabo’s career has encompassed the development, planning, and implementation of local, state, and national programs and projects. This experience puts Dr. Brabo in close touch with the changing needs of public and private companies, and aids her in providing truly effective assistance in today’s complex work environment. "Lisa Brabo is high fidelity...She delivers information with quality, humor and grace - a truly effective and enjoyable experience." Starting her career in the nonprofit arena, Dr. Brabo’s areas of expertise include aging, domestic violence, homelessness, and poverty. Working with these challenging societal issues provided opportunities for developing the sophistication needed to effectively address the most challenging of situations. Directing organizations as well as departments, successful work with people is now Dr. Brabo’s focus. This includes strengthening diverse teams, resolving conflict, developing leadership potential, and facilitating “lighter” environments that encourage quality and creativity. An author and speaker, Dr. Brabo brings real life experience to real life situations, for the benefit of the company and the people who work within it. Dr. Debi Yohn Dr. Debi is an accomplished international psychologist, author, mentor, mother and speaker with 32 years of the most remarkable experience anyone could imagine. She began her career in psychology helping families in the poor rural south...where greetings were occasionally, "Please put the gun down...I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'m a social worker not a revenuer." As she continued her education, she lived in Saudi Arabia for 7 years where she conducted team building workshops…and in spite of an arrest for an airspace violation, forced landing and resulting disagreement with a middle eastern general, she managed to “discuss” her (and her 87 fellow passengers) way to freedom. Back in the US, working for 2 Fortune 500 organizations, one in healthcare and one in insurance, quickly rose to the position of Director and skillfully avoided most “rightsizings” except the last one. Off on her next assignment of choice in China, she developed a private practice serving the English-speaking expatriate community of 300,000 providing psychological counseling and help for expats and their families adjusting to life abroad. She was thrown into crisis intervention when a nearby explosion in a manufacturing plant killed 12 workers and injured another 50. She was part of a team of early responders that helped the families of the deceased, injured and non-injured survivors deal with the emotional aftermath of such a devastating accident.
– Bill Carlson, the Profit Mentors Eating bloodworms (yes, a Chinese delicacy and as nasty as it sounds) at the home of a government official or helping to establish “Lifeline Shanghai” an English speaking 911 service to help expats in need are just 2 of her many interesting adventures. She has always felt that life teaches us what we need to learn and finding ways to learn those lessons as quickly and fully as possible helps improve the overall quality of the life experience. Fortunately, in our complicated, overscheduled, and often crazy world, Dr. Yohn teaches specific strategies to bring joy, serenity and relaxation to your life even when things don’t look so good. She has written and lectured on a wide variety of subjects related to parenting, mental health, adjusting to change, dealing with loss of a loved one and strategies for a success filled life. Comments from previous events: I wanted to let you know that everyone enjoyed your presentation so much. The feedback I have been receiving has been great! Stellar Chapter - IAAP Meeting in Long Beach Work Life Balance took on a whole new perspective under the expertise of Dr. Debi Yohn who is part of the cross cultural community here in Shanghai. AmCham Shanghai I was awe-struck by Lisa Brabos unique gift and abilities. The information she shared was profound.
