About

Hi, I’m Deb.

I’m Deb Lee, Digital Productivity Coach, Certified Professional Organizer®, speaker, productivity consultant, and self-described appaholic. I also love helping entrepreneurs and small business owners polish their workflows and leverage technology in their companies so that they can get more accomplished every day.

I won’t bore you with all the details, but you may have seen my writing and ramblings around the interwebs on local DC area network news broadcasts, The Washington Post, USA Today, Moneyish.com, FoxBusiness.com, TechRepublic.com, Marketplace.org, FastCompany.com, and Staples.com to name a few. I’ve also had partnerships with some amazing brands like Rubbermaid, Neat Company (and was featured on this TV ad for Neat), Bynder, and Xfinity Mobile.

It’s been my good fortune to be resourceful, which may be due to an insatiable technology obsession curiosity. This has been useful to me in my own business and I love sharing great treasures with others. In fact, I’m known to get giddy like a schoolgirl. Nothing is better than helping someone overcome a specific productivity frustration, find a unique product, service, or app, and watching the “I get it!” lightbulb go on.

Which leads me to you. How can I help?

The Thrive Hive has provided an environment for me to focus on my work. I am highly motivated to get my work done while on the call because I am accountable to the group. It has also introduced me to people who’ve become my friends while we work together and support one another. Deb has provided support and guidance throughout, generously sharing her tech info. Interaction with and learning from the others in the group and having focused time to get my work done keep me coming back week after week. The Thrive Hive is different from other online groups in which I participate in that it allows for two-way interactions and continuing learning, not just from Deb (who is great!) but also from others on the call. I love the camaraderie we have developed over the last year.

I especially appreciate being introduced to Julie Bestry, the most diligent researcher and expert communicator I have ever met, and I am a professional market researcher. She is generous beyond belief.

I went from frustrated to flourishing! At the start of a new research position with tremendous opportunity, few deadlines and no formal structure, I was full of ideas, but needed a system to accomplish them.

Deb helped me visualize and articulate my productivity goals. She began by learning how I work so she could recommend adjustments that were ambitious, but also achievable for me to maintain. Deb encouraged me to try several tools and apps that I’ve long had available, but was not taking full advantage of. In every session, I got practical tips on how to better organize my work products and procedures, and felt accountable to demonstrate progress since the session before. Since the end of our sessions, I am more in command of my portfolio and my possibilities. I can devote more time to the creative and innovative aspects of my research and writing. Thanks, Deb!

I am always surprised by how much I accomplish in the Action Day! With the focused structure and accountability, I make serious progress on the detailed work I tend to push aside. If you struggle with procrastination or distractions, this is a game-changer!

I have had a website for a couple of years, and recently switched to WordPress. Deb took the time to really help me understand some of the processes and applications that make managing my website more efficient.

She is a pleasure to talk with, and given the technology we have today, we were able to work in real time on my website to accomplish tasks. I strongly recommend her to anyone.

Thank you Deb for your positive energy and focus that adds a plus to coworking! You listen and if needed help to hone in on the next step “thing” to work on. You always seems to find that sweet spot in my accomplishments too!

Bonita G., Solopreneur

Deb Lee is a technology guru! I recently heard her presentation on productivity apps for small businesses, and although I pride myself on being a very productive person, I learned so many new things! Deb’s kind personality and obvious knowledge of all things tech made the presentation so enjoyable. I have attended various presentations in the past and I can honestly say that Deb’s was by far the most content rich and easy to listen to one that I have ever attended. I know that I have just discovered the tip of the iceberg in terms of what D. Allison Lee has to offer, and I’m excited to learn more from her in the near future!
