Debbie’s message sparks courage and real change.

“For decades, I was in nonstop caregiving mode — first for my dad after a stroke, then for my two sons, including my oldest with autism and mental health challenges. By the time I was 50, I realized I had lost myself in responsibility. That was my turning point: if nothing changes, nothing will change.

That reinvention became my foundation. And years later, when my husband faced a terminal diagnosis, it gave me the courage and resilience to walk through that season with strength I never knew I had.

Now, I help women see that reinvention isn’t only for those navigating caregiving, grief, or financial chaos. It’s also for anyone who feels stuck or simply ready for more. And it doesn’t take giant leaps—it happens one sprinkle-sized shift at a time.”

Whether they’re navigating caregiving, grief, financial chaos, or simply feeling stuck and ready for more, I show audiences that lasting change doesn’t come from giant leaps, but from small, sprinkle-sized shifts that build resilience, confidence, and joy.

I’m also a Certified Canfield Trainer in The Success Principles®, bestselling author, podcast host, and was named by MSN magazine as one of the Top 10 Leading Speakers to Follow in 2025. Because I believe it’s never too late to create a life you’re truly excited to live.

 Keynote Options

The Sprinkle Effect™

Small Shifts That Lead to Big Impact

Ideal Audience: Women’s conferences, healthcare and education organizations, associations, corporate women’s ERGs, and community events.

Value: Increase resilience, confidence, and energy by helping women break free from limitations—whether caused by burnout, grief, or simply the feeling of being stuck—through small, consistent shifts that create lasting transformation.

Description:

We all want more joy, meaning, and fulfillment in our lives—but too often, we feel stuck in cycles of stress, self-doubt, or burnout. The truth is, change doesn’t come from waiting for life to slow down or from giant leaps forward. It comes from one small shift at a time.

At 50, Debbie R. Weiss had her own awakening: if nothing changes, nothing will change. That realization led her to create The Sprinkle Effect™ Method — See It, Sprinkle It, Shift It. As a Certified Canfield Trainer in The Success Principles®, Debbie blends proven success strategies with her own lived experience. Years later, when her husband faced a terminal diagnosis, those same sprinkle-sized shifts gave her the strength to walk through grief with courage and resilience.

In this insightful and engaging keynote, Debbie shows audiences how to use The Sprinkle Effect™ Method to break free from limitations and begin creating a life they’re truly excited to live. Through stories, humor, and practical strategies, she reminds us that transformation doesn’t happen all at once—it happens one sprinkle at a time.

Takeaways: In this program, you’ll learn…

  • How to recognize limiting beliefs and shift them into possibilities.
  • Why resilience is built through small daily choices—and how to strengthen it.
  • The power of one sprinkle-sized action at a time to create momentum.
  • How to reconnect with yourself and design a future that excites you.

ReWrite Your Story

From Burnout to Reinvention

Ideal Audience: Caregiver organizations, grief and widow support groups, women in transition programs, retreats, and community events.

Value: Provide hope and empowerment by showing women how to reclaim their identity and write a new chapter—whether after profound loss or simply when life feels too small.

Description:

Burnout, caregiving, grief, and major life transitions can leave women unsure of who they are. But many women also arrive at midlife simply feeling stuck—aware that something has to change, but unsure how. Debbie R. Weiss has lived both realities.

From caring for her father starting at 17, to raising two sons (including her oldest with autism, ADHD, depression, and anxiety), to navigating financial chaos, and later walking through the profound loss of her husband, Debbie knows what it means to lose yourself in responsibility. But her turning point came at 50—before her husband’s illness—when she realized reinvention starts with small, intentional shifts. That transformation gave her the strength to face widowhood with resilience and courage, and it’s the same transformation she shares with audiences today.

As a Certified Canfield Trainer in The Success Principles®, Debbie integrates proven success strategies with her Sprinkle Effect™ Method to give audiences both inspiration and practical tools for change. She helps women see that while we can’t always choose our circumstances, we can always choose how to write the next chapter of our lives.

Takeaways: In this program, you’ll learn…

  • How to become aware of the stories and identities holding you back.
  • Why letting go of what no longer serves you opens space for growth.
  • How to embrace small, intentional shifts that lead to reinvention.
  • Practical steps to start writing your next chapter with clarity and confidence.
