Debbie Pokornik
Debbie is a graduated mother, green-tea enthusiast, dedicated dog owner, award winning author, speaker and empowerment guide. Her journey into personal development began when she was nearly fired from her first 'real' job at a financial institution and realized she was not living to her full potential. Her natural desire to help others excel in life along with her unique ability to make self-awareness 'obvious' led her easily into the role of teacher, speaker and guide.
Today Debbie has a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Manitoba. She has created and delivered numerous programs, training sessions, award winning products and books, all focused on helping people learn to manage their stress so it becomes livable, build strong relationships and feel more in control of their lives.
As the Chief Empowerment Officer for her company, Empowering NRG, Debbie provides opportunities and products to help people bring out the best in themselves and others - at home, at work and at play.
Debbie is funny, slightly quirky and has an uncanny knack for helping people shift their perspective, open up to new ideas and implement change. Her presentations are a nice blend of humour, story and inspiration.
Debbie's previous professional work experience includes:
• Early Childhood Support Worker, Sunrise School Division
• Community School Networker, Sunrise School Division
• Owner, Trainer & Group Facilitator, Better Parents and Better Kids
• Follow-up Worker, Genesis House Woman's Shelter
• Personal Banking Representative, Royal Bank of Canada
She is a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS), Manitoba Chapter where she is the Treasurer and is in her second year as Chair for the CAPS National Editorial Board - Speaking of IMPACT Magazine.
Debbie lives on a small acreage in rural Manitoba with her husband, daughter, numerous pets and a yard that is far too big to keep free of unwanted plant growth.
