Testimonials
What our clients have to say:
Graeme W
Director
Department of Industry, Canberra
Having tried Executive Coaching with others in the past, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the true benefits of coaching through Deb’s effective approach and style. Being a ‘mid-career’ professional with 20 years of experience and postgraduate qualifications in my chosen field, a few months with Deb has helped me re-establish a vision for improving my own leadership performance and getting more productivity from teams. I see the value in refreshing my approach to professional development in the future with more coaching. Deb applies a technique of coaching that is clearly guided by her own extensive experience in the professional world. However, the value of her coaching comes in a way that unlocks your own perspectives, to renew and refocus on opportunities for improvements in the workplace. Deb’s style of coaching helped re-discover and unlock effective approaches to achieving results. This was especially useful for me to apply in a fast-paced, high-profile work environment with limited resourcing. I now have new and improved techniques, and confidence, to more effectively focus on the strategic priorities of my role.

I find Deborah to be extremely insightful. She has a knack for asking prompting questions that get to the root of the professional challenges I am facing. Deborah’s guidance has helped me develop my own strategies for tackling workplace issues and for growing as an executive manager.
