Dr. Phillips has a unique ability to review an enterprise from the outside (as an outsider) and with limited exposure to identify new and meaningful ways to deploy talent and maximize the return on human resources.  She really gets everyone energized and more engaged in their game.    You can feel the change and sense the excitement when everyone is meaningfully involved in bringing about success!

Debbie Phillips is one of the most inspiring people in our industry. Her passion is undeniable and her knowledge priceless. Debbie instructed the first marketing class I ever attended as a multifamily professional in 1997- and I still remember how I felt when I left the class – inspired, more knowledgable, and hoping I would be lucky enough for her to be one of my mentors…..the same way I feel today every time I encounter her.

Dr. Debbie can best be described as compassionate, enthusiastic and determined. As her former teaching assistant at Georgia Tech, I can attest that Debbie has the most charming spirit with a detail-oriented passion for paying it forward to her students, clients and colleagues. If you meet her, you will immediately be enamored by her positivity, selflessness, and ability to get the job done.

I had the opportunity to take one of Dr. Debbie’s classes at GA Tech this summer as one of my GSU MBA with Real Estate concentration classes and my experience was fantastic! Dr. Debbie is such a dynamic Professor. She is highly engaging and knowledgeable – there was never a dull moment. Her energy is intoxicating and motivating! Additionally, I had the opportunity to network with her many guest speakers and I look forward to fostering a relationship with Dr. Debbie throughout my career. Thanks again for a fantastic course!

I had the opportunity to take two of Dr. Debbie’s courses during my completion of the Building Construction Program at Georgia Institute of Technology. I also had the opportunity to conduct research with her during an independent study course. Dr. Debbie works tirelessly to position her students for successful careers, and her passion for teaching is apparent to everyone she encounters. She possesses an exceptional abililty to connect with and motivate students. Getting to know Dr. Debbie was definitely a highlight of completing my degree at Georgia Tech, and she is a tremendous asset to the university.
