Note: This article was originally posted in October of 2020 and updated in January 2022.
It’s often hard to step outside our comfort zones and find a greater purpose. Luckily many of us have people in our lives that help us do just that, and Deborah Bateman is one of those people. Deborah Bateman is an inspiring woman who believes that helping each other understand our potential, our contributions, and our place in the world is key. She understands that when you know your value and what you bring to the table, you can help others do the same. Her pivotal question, “What’s your differentiator?” helps her coaching clients define their WHY.
With a 50 year career as a banking executive for National Bank of Arizona (She is currently Vice-Chairman) Deborah has demonstrated innate leadership skips that discover people’s talents often before they do. A supreme leader and supporter of young women, Deborah has been pivotal in helping so many young women achieve success in the workplace.
Deborah Bateman believes personal branding is crucial because it lets us speak for ourselves before someone else has the opportunity to. In addition to her banking role, Deborah has evolved into a world-class business coach and has an amazing blog, Risk Blossoming, with her husband Tim as they travel around the USA.
Charity Charms founder Kay McDonald has know Deborah for over 20 years. Together they have worked on many nonprofit and cause marketing projects. Deborah is usually sporting a wrist full of various charm bracelets she has collected over the years!
Chic Bracelets for Women On Their Wisdom Quest
Together they took on a fun project to create custom charm bracelets for the women that go on Deborah’s Wisdom Quest trips. Through her travels, Deborah has been bringing along custom Charity Charms bangles featuring her logo charm and custom carding for each country she is traveling to. These bracelets bond Deborah with those she is helping and serve as a reminder to those she has helped of their ability to be greater than themselves.

Deborah’s Power Symbol: The Heart
As our interview series grew, we realized charms and symbols are something that unites all of us. Though each of us are drawn to similar symbols they mean something unique and special to each of us. The Heart is one of the most recognizable and popular symbols especially when it comes to volume one of our Power of Charms book. To Deborah the Heart stands as a reminder to be a heartfelt leader and inspire others to do their own personal best. For centuries the Heart has represented love although there is no history of how or why it became associated with the idea!
