Sonya survived a devastating car accident during law school to become a nationally recognized financial expert and attorney. A drunk driver ran into her car at 90 mph and she lived! That accident and the year that followed (taking the CPA exam, finishing law school and taking the bar exam all while in physical therapy to recover from her injuries) taught her the importance of perseverance and determination. Years later, Sonya learned that she had a brain tumor and needed brain surgery. (Nothing can ever prepare you to hear those words.) She was blessed to find an excellent neurosurgeon who made sure she’s still alive and kicking today. The months Sonya took off from work to recover without worrying about her finances reinforced that all of her hard work in finance was well worth it. Sonya went on to build a well-regarded law firm due to her successful representation of clients in cases involving credit reports, mortgages, and credit cards. Over time, other lawyers began to seek out her advice for help with their own financial issues. They were often unsure of how to deal with their large student loan debt and/or how to properly manage their money. The attorneys weren’t educated about finances. They learned about crimes and contracts in law school, not about planning for mortgages, retirement or their kids’ education. Around this same time, corporate executives started asking Sonya how to teach their employees and managers about personal and business finance. Some companies had employees who were underperforming due to financial stress. Others had managers who were struggling with using business metrics and other financial indicators in their decision making (and therefore generated less revenues and/or incurred higher costs). This all caused Sonya to realize that the next chapter of her career had just presented itself to her. Drawing on her 25+ years of financial and legal experience, Sonya now helps companies and law firms improve the financial skills of their employees, managers and attorneys for increased productivity. She provides strategies and solutions on decreasing employee and attorney financial stress for improved workplace performance and turning ordinary managers into financially savvy decision makers for higher profitability. Because of her vast knowledge, Sonya is a highly sought-after speaker by corporations, law firms, government agencies, higher education, and associations across the country. Sonya’s expertise is recognized by reputable media outlets such as The Washington Post, CBS News, NBC News, and Black Enterprise. She has also contributed to Forbes and Thrive Global as a writer, making a powerful impact on the lives of many.

Hello, my name is Deborah Hutchison. As an energetic gutsy thinker, I’m not a believer in boxes… I’m not even a believer in thinking outside of them. I know the box itself is an illusion. In this life, we’re made to be relentless self-thinkers, NOT followers. This is where I come in: I’m here to impart people with the tools they need to not only tap into their hidden potential, but pave the way to a brighter, more empowering future. Ultimately, the time to start being unapologetically you is not today and certainly not tomorrow...it's right now! After years of taking my own advice and learning as much as possible, I now make my mission a reality each day through the many hats I wear, which include serial entrepreneur, risk-taker, problem-solver, published author, multiple award-winning innovator and filmmaker, speaker, and all because I'm a gutsy gal. Prove it you say... - created my first business by calling Hollywood and telling them I was a casting director from the mid west and I wasn't (YET) then went out to work on 35 feature films before I sold my company. - became a member of the Directors Guild of America in1985 after being turned down 4 times only to finally reach my goal on the fifth try. - developed a billing system to collect my court ordered support payments from my EX. - got published after attending a writing conference by creating a book of family and friend agreements. - bulldozed a house when the non paying tenant wouldn't leave. - was fired by major celebrity while working on a film but managed to get another position on same film. - collecting getting money from the IRS, a major corporation and my first Mercedes (from a film company). - turned my one and only (almost) #metoo experience into contract non-negotiable point. - Wrote, co-directed and produced an CG animated short film titled "The Improbable Journey of Berta Benz". These examples are just a few of the stories I have to tell. I'm not afraid to name names including Princess D, Jane Fonda, the legendary writer romance best selling author, Jackie Collins and others. I am the Founder of the Gutsy Gal Award honoring positive female role models. Education-wise, I received my B.A. degree in English and Secondary Education from William Woods University, and for nearly two decades, I have served on their Board of Directors. However, it’s not just my academic education that has led me to where I am today, it’s my array of life experiences and the rewarding risks I’ve taken along the way.
