A group of zebras in motion is called a dazzle, named for the effect created by their stripes as they run alongside each other. A zebra’s stripes are as unique as fingerprints. Like zebras, we are most dazzling when our unique stripes connect with others, to create dazzling forward motion.
Dazzle is Nexus Alchemy’s exclusive people-centered approach to maximizing potential.

*Zone of Genius
In The Big Leap, psychologist Gay Hendricks, PhD, defines the Zone of Genius as a set of activities you are uniquely suited to do. This is the place of your unlimited potential, where what you contribute serves not only yourself, but others. You know you’re in your Zone of Genius when you think, “I can’t believe anyone pays me to do this.”
Working with Deb has set a new standard for how I want to be in collaboration and the level of client responsiveness that is possible. She is truly an artist of human relationships, communication, and organization. She is a steady and wise partner and maintains her grace and generosity – especially in the challenging moments.
Larry Dressler, Founder, Blue Wing Consulting
Working with Deb has sincerely been one of the highlights of my career. She has taught me a great deal about working with teams, generating consensus, and adapting to changing environments. She is a proficient facilitator of virtual teams and excels at providing meaningful direction that yields clearly defined action steps, timeline, and commitments. Having worked with her over the course of ten years on numerous initiatives, I provide my most enthusiastic endorsement.”
