His experience includes helping lead an $880M IPO, building and running businesses to more than $500M in annual revenue, assembling teams across six continents, and participating in dozens of acquisitions.

His speaking experience spans the United States and Europe, including PPAI, GDC, private company and leadership team workshops, and the White House.

Debra specializes in working with business owners who are pursuing their passion as a business, particularly the Arts & Entertainment Industry and Professional Athletes. Bringing business savvy to your passion, she translates complex business concepts into actionable strategies, helping you create profit while staying true to your values.

She built this business while battling myalgic encephalomyelitis - the illness that forced her to end her career in film and television. Managing her energy became more important than managing her time - which forced her to create powerful systems around time/task management and pacing.

With a background in business from her CPA Mom, and a foundational understanding in how the brain works from her PhD in Experimental Psychology Dad, Debra has been able to blend these seemingly paradoxical paradigms for herself and her clients.

Get to know Dr. Julie Pham

As a Cambridge-trained historian turned organizational development leader, keynote speaker, and consultant, I help teams move beyond training toward learning. My work is for leaders who know to their team to feel safe to practice curiosity, ask tough questions, give each other feedback, and to listen in a way that others feel heard.

I’m the founder and CEO of CuriosityBased and the author of 7 Forms of Respect: A Guide to Transforming Your Communication and Relationships at Work. Through keynotes, workshops, and strategic advising, I help organizations turn tension into trust and miscommunication into momentum.

My approach is shaped by an unconventional path—from earning my PhD at Cambridge as a Gates Scholar, to running my family’s Vietnamese-language newspaper, to helping global companies and local governments build more curious, connected cultures.

When people work with me, they often say our sessions feel less like training and more like a live conversation that changes how they think.
