We work one-on-one with individuals, teams, and organizations, offering services on a retainer basis and by the hour. In addition, we give talks and lead group workshops on communication and crisis preparation.

Whether you are experiencing your own crisis or managing others through theirs, a Crisis Navigation Partner® can help you determine your goals, express complicated feelings, gather important information about your options, strategize for potentially difficult conversations, connect with valuable resources, and make key decisions efficiently.

A Message from Our Founder & CEO

I’m Debra Woog (pronounced “Vogue”), Principal Crisis Navigation Partner® for Connect2 Corporation. I work mostly from my home office in Arlington, MA, while my two children attend college. By nature, I am a connector and a community builder.

Connection and community are essential in a crisis. As a leader who has navigated my own unanticipated challenges, I know first-hand the value of smart, collaborative expertise, especially for women who feel solo in life or work. Even as supremely capable humans, we are better when we cross difficult roads together. 

With a B.A. in psychology from Wellesley College and an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management, I am able to provide both emotional support and practical problem solving, including research, resource matching, and communication strategies.  

My team and I are here for you. Schedule your free consultation so we can get you started toward the best possible outcome from your difficult circumstances.

Client Feedback

WORK LIFE BALANCE STRUGGLE

“With Debra, I have a person who I can really talk to about my own problems – all facets of them and my struggles – and who can be a sounding board and not afraid to tell me if I may be doing something she sees as off. Not that I cannot talk to my friends, but I don’t want to burden them too much.”

Job Loss

“Debra, in a short time frame and with great sensitivity and compassion, was able to assist me in clarifying the action steps I needed to take to get unstuck.”

Professional Crossroads

“I have really enjoyed connecting with you. One thing I have really learned is that I need verbal coaching. I spend so much of my time researching, reading, and writing, which is completely isolating. I need to talk to people — on the phone or in person. Ten minutes on the phone with you, even five, is completely transformational!”

Communications Challenge

“A 10-minute conversation with you was the most clarifying experience I’ve had lately. I was so excited to share your website with my two best friends today.”

Child’s Hospitalization

“I turn to you for clarity, clarification, quick thinking, wisdom and compassion. Your business education, leadership experience and administrative prowess impress the heck out of me. “
