About

As a media chief innovation officer turned consultantand award-winning, multi-genre author, Deborah Burns’ story has always been about invention, reinvention, and possibility. She’s lived those keywords with brands and clients throughout her career, and now Burns helps companies through brand storytelling, inventing new solutions, and creating new value. 

Her second book—Authorize it! Think Like a Writer to Win at Work & Life— blends Burns’ strategic business expertise with all the creative lessons she learned from the world of storytelling while writing her acclaimed debut memoir, Saturday’s Child. 

Authorize it! grounds her virtual corporate Workshopsand online Courses to nurture talent, inspire personal and professional development, and help employees live up to their career potential.

And now, her third book—and third genre—is THE 7 DAYS: A Classic Nursery Rhyme Made New. “My first book is about story and the personal narratives that shape who we become. My second is about careers—the engine that supports our lives. And my third is for children—our collective future. Being a multi-genre-ist broadens my perspective so I can meaningfully contribute to an evolving world,” Burns believes.
