As a psychologist, an expert in the � eld of the human condition and self-development, I have searched for ways to help people discover who they are and their place in this life experience. The cornerstone of my work has evolved into a core program titled “The Strength Within”, an immersive philosophy that teaches how to maximize one’s entire life experience and aspirations. I have spent my life helping in-dividuals and, as a professional, have invested decades guiding leaders and corporations to “become the best version of themselves”. I’ve done the same with families and communities.
I founded Partners In Excellence LLC, a full-service consulting company sta� ed with a diverse network of high caliber professionals, thus the name – Partners In Excellence. Through the years, we have worked with various branches of US government, healthcare systems, educational facilities, community organizations, political groups, fam-ily owned businesses, and Fortune 50 Companies in addition to tend-ing to the requests of individuals and families.
Our seminars and events are experiences designed to help people get productive by becoming truly happy. Wellness happens as we learn to e� ectively navigate everyday life by channeling inner strength. Whether you are looking to recharge your business, relationships, or health, you need to have these skills honed. I believe that the best medicine for stress is by leveraging stress daily -- people fall victim to anxiety every day. Life is 20 percent mechanics and 80 percent psy-chology; we just need the tools to become the best versions of our-selves.
Awaken the day and begin with gratitude that you are breathing. It’s a good start. Then come join my team and I at www.drdebcarlin.com where you’ll � nd all sorts of opportunities to enhance your day.
