Deborah Gardner, As a lifelong professional swimmer, she learned the power of momentum. When you dive into a 50-meter pool, you face over 660,000 gallons of water resistance. However, a swimmer can reduce the resistance force by using a streamlining technique. This is so effective that swimming competitions limit this technique to the first 15 meters of a race.
Throughout my career, I learned you can harness the same momentum gained by streamlining in business—and life. Today, I speak worldwide, teaching organizations how to move beyond obstacles and remove friction—resulting from a proactive team that achieves goals.
Better known by many Fortune 500 companies as “the pit bull in a skirt,” Deborah G is a swimming champion, founder of three businesses, and author of 6 bestsellers.
Streamline into Action.
Obstacles are more than just roadblocks. They prevent a business from achieving goals. Get your team members to view change as an opportunity rather than a roadblock.
Come along for a ride as Deborah G. takes you on a journey that explores The Streamline Method. With only a few simple changes, you’ll learn how to reduce resistance to change, move beyond obstacles, and build a proactive team. Instead of being complacent with the current level of success, what if you could convince your team that the way forward is moving beyond what they thought was achievable?

Deborah has known (and loved) Competition her entire life. She was born to a military family who believed in keeping their children physically active year-round in various sports.
In addition to the usual competitive sibling rivalry, the family’s frequent moves (her dad was a Major in the Marine Corps) meant that she and her siblings often joined new cities, new schools, new friends, and new sports and social activities.
She says that your biggest competitor is YOU, and there IS an “I” in the team.
She says that the all-out competitive approach rarely, if ever, works.
After receiving her degree in Communications, Deborah, the lifelong athlete, began her speaking career with WHO Radio and CBS Sports as one of the first female sports commentators.
She followed that with a successful career in hospitality sales for such brands as
Hilton,
Marriott,
Renaissance,
Sheraton,
Embassy Suites Hotels.
