Deborah Keys, PhD
Personal Relationship Leaders' Education & Coaching
Hello
During my academic training as a family life educator, I often thought, “Who can I share this with? Who needs what I’m learning?” The ones who always came to mind were the givers, unofficial foster parents, intercessors, hedges, and the ones sticking out their necks. Whether parents, neighbors, or church workers this kind of leader often practiced family life education without the benefit of formal training.
​
The call to love, teach, and take a measure of responsibility for others is rewarding and challenging. That's why I am eager to share what I've learned from my personal, spiritual, and professional experiences.
