Keynote, Workshops, and Seminars

Tired of the same old speeches? Different faces but the same boring content? Then you've come to the right place!

I'm Debbie Mahler and I've been providing technology services for over 15 years. My love for the subject and my story of how I arrived in this field has inspired and motivated many.

I say this with all sincerity that, "I am living, walking proof that there are no limits to what a person is capable of achieving in this life!" After being disabled in an automobile accident in 1988, I was told I'd be dead in five years, and would never walk again. Guess what? 20 years later I'm still above ground (living) and walking!

If that kind of story doesn't keep your audience awake, nothing will!

So, feel free to look over the list of topics and see if there is one that catches your eye. I've also provided a brief bio and some information about fees for your convenience.

Use the contact page or call 847-458-4245 to discuss your needs.
