Meet Deborah
I’m Deborah Jones, PCC — an Atlanta-based ICF Professional Certified Coach, facilitator and speaker and former technology professional with 35+ years in technology, including more than 12 years with Dayforce in global HCM technology.
Change may be inevitable—but how people experience it, respond to it and move through it matters.
I care deeply about people and have a gift for human connection, meaningful conversation and bringing people into the room—not just physically, but into the conversation.
Today, I’m bringing that experience into an exciting new area of focus: The Human Side of AI™.
As organizations move toward AI and agentic ways of working, I want to help senior leaders better understand what their people may be experiencing beneath the change—fear, uncertainty, intimidation, resistance, questions about their value, and where they fit.
I’m not an AI expert, and I’m not trying to be one. I’m a skilled facilitator who knows how to create the space for people to say what needs to be said—and help leaders hear what they need to hear.
That’s the human side of AI I’m excited to explore.
That belief also inspired The Purple Circle™, a curated experience for accomplished women creating space to consider what deserves them next.
Deborah Jones, PCC | 35+ Years in Technology • 12 Years in Human Capital Management
Technology changes quickly. The human side of change takes time.
I help organizations create the conversations that help people navigate what’s changing—without losing the human side of the work.

From the Rooms I’ve Been Invited Into.
From the moment I met Deborah, there was an instant connection. She has a rare, genuine energy and a gift for meeting people exactly where they are, regardless of their walk of life. She doesn’t just hear you—she listens with the deep intention of a problem solver. If you have the chance to work with her, take it; your life will truly be transformed by the encounter.
Dr. SherAaron Hurt, Director of Workshops & Training
Debi is a talented coach who possesses an ability to connect with her clients in a deeply personal way. She has challenged me when I needed it and held me accountable for the changes I’ve said I wanted to make. And despite asking tough questions, Debi coaches from a heart-centered place and has helped me more greatly live into my authentic self. I am deeply grateful to have her as a coach.”
Whitney Deal Marshall, Leadership Coach | Facilitator | Speaker
Deborah has always been such a great mentor to so many of her fellow employees. Her advice will take you far! She presented an awesome presentation on “Mindset” to our Product and Development team at Ceridian and WOW! She pretty much got a standing ovation via Zoom. She is such an engaging and eloquent speaker. I’d recommend her to speak at any professional development event.
