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?

It was indeed my good fortune to come across Deb Lee a couple of years ago. Our weekly coaching calls have helped me focus and deliver on a regular basis. Her most helpful piece of advice: “Even a small step will keep the energy moving forward” – and so it has proved to be. Her gentle yet firm support has been invaluable in progressing my various ventures. We take a holistic approach in that every component has an effect on life (surroundings, moods, events, circumstances) and you cannot dissociate how you feel from what you do. So, thank you, Debbie, onward and forward. Let’s keep enjoying this great journey of life.

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!

Dawn George, Business Owner

Deb has been instrumental in helping our company get to the next level. Everything from implementing marketing strategies to getting Evernote and Trainual up and running to make us more efficient. Without her we’d be taking two steps forward and one step back. She really does do it all!

William B., Small Business Owner

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.

Keith McNeilly, Owner

Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation on business blogging. I knew I had a lot to learn (don’t know what you don’t know, right?) and your talk was just what I needed. Not only are you engaging and interesting, but you provided so much relevant information without crossing the line to being overwhelming. Given the topic, that’s quite a feat! With a wide range of expertise in the room, you found a way to speak directly to each of us …in language we could all understand.

Richard Lecours, Founder & CEO

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!
