She has guest lectured on conflict resolution and diplomacy themes around the world, and has trained civilian groups and NATO, EUFOR, Police and UN personnel in diplomatic techniques.

Deborah is actively writing and publishing, and working with other international theorists to deepen the theoretical and practical understanding of diplomacy and negotiation. In June 2009 the Commander of the British Contingent United Nations Force in Cyprus awarded a UN Commendation to Deborah in recognition of her outstanding contribution in support of negotiation training to British Contingent troops. This rare and highly esteemed commendation reflects the high regard in which British soldiers hold the negotiation training that has helped them operate successfully in difficult and volatile circumstances.
