“I am thrilled that Debi has decided to coach gaming professionals. Debi built her gaming career brick by brick and has worked with some of the best operators in the industry. While Debi has achieved certain titles at big-name companies, however, I believe her biggest impact will be the legacy of people she has influenced. There are so many gaming executives that have built wonderful careers that have worked for, or with Debi.

Debi’s biggest impact on her clients will be grace and perspective. Things do not always go as planned, and Debi’s grace in tough spots is inspiring and infectious. This is a quality we could all use more of. Debi’s perspective on career and its balance with day to day life goals is spot on, and I always feel better after speaking with her. I believe there are several career coaches that can help people with the nuts and bolts of work, but I believe Debi can have a larger impact, well beyond the job.”

It is with great respect and admiration that I recommend Dei Nutton. Debi and I have known each other and worked together in various capacities over the years. It has always been a pleasure to work with her. She is highly regarded in the industry and has an impressive background. Debi is direct and efficient in everything she does, which leads to fantastic results. I have always admired her integrity and professionalism and she is an incredible asset for any organization.
— Darren Simmons, Executive Vice President, Everi Holdings
When Debi arrived as our department Vice President 20 years ago, a leadership style arrived at our property that was never seen before and transformed, not only our company but an entire industry. It is a testament to Debi’s leadership skills that many of these same middle managers have become industry leaders themselves. I know at least six that have risen to the role of Vice President at Major Las Vegas Strip properties and two others, including me, achieving the same heights in Macau.

Debi’s leadership instilled me with the confidence I needed to advance my career. Her constant encouragement and motivation inspires all around her to achieve their maximum potential. Anybody lucky enough to have Debi as their mentor will always feel they have the wind to their back as I certainly have felt through my career.
— Michael Clifford, SVP Casino Operations Fountaineblue , Las Vegas
My work with Debi Nutton has been transformative. As a new leader, doubt, politics, and personalities blurred my day-to-day. Thanks to Debi’s coaching, my confidence and inherent abilities were elevated, improved, and prioritized to successfully and continually produce performance-based results.

With Debi on my team, and her years of effective and respected leadership, each session is akin to possessing a personal, reliable, and trustworthy board of directors. Together we analyze, evaluate, and assess any difficult situation and we find ways to navigate through using approaches I know I will use over and over again in my lifetime. Each session is invaluable and beneficial; my constant takeaways are an arsenal of tools, skills, and tailored action items.

I highly recommend and endorse Debi to anyone who is looking to level up. Her wisdom, advice, mentorship, and inspiration always motivate me to be the best all-around, at home and in business.
