Debbie’s work provided valuable insight to the whole team, in particular the leadership team, both on ways of working and how the team were feeling. Debbie produced a number of documents (such as a value proposition, transformational change plan, communication plan and stakeholder plan) which we are now using to take our work forward.

Debbie was very effective in building good relationships with those in the team, which met our needs and built on the knowledge of the team. Her approach meant to felt like a temporary member of the team, rather than an external consultant.

Debbie is an inspirational coach. She has provided me with the tools and strategies to help me implement great positive changes in both my career and personal life. Approachable and trustworthy, Debbie’s an excellent listener who knows when to stretch and challenge me, opening up my mind to exciting new possibilities. I’ve seen fast results and learned valuable skills to take into the future.

I have worked with Debbie in several different roles. She led the design of a company-wide Leadership Development Academy, which has got terrific results. Debbie also helped define a better business model to allow us to engage with the employees of our clients. She has a very clear understanding of organisational change processes, and what levers to pull. And, as a coach, Debbie is perceptive and offers actionable advice. In everything Debbie does, she is professional, thorough and delivers on time. And she always does it with a smile on her face! Can’t recommend Debbie’s work enough.

Mick Yates, Associate Professor, Leeds University

Through the coaching program, Debbie has really helped me to recognise my true potential and believe that even the most stretching of goals are achievable when tackled in the right way.   She encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone and progress quickly with things I kept putting off.  As a result, it has allowed me to excel at what I am doing in both my business and personal life.

Her coaching style is effective as she balances challenge with encouragement and support.  The process followed was structured and clear andI am thrilled to see how much I have achieved in a short space of time with noticeable results.

I would highly recommend Debbie to anyone who is keen to make a change in their work or personal life.

Deborah worked with my team to help them understand the changes that the organisation needed them to make – and why – and to cope with the transformation that this would mean for them. I liked Deborah’s approach. She quickly made herself part of the leadership of the team, injecting high levels of enthusiasm and energy. She fitted in well and was very hands on making sure that the team got to know and trust her judgement. She demonstrated high levels of emotional intelligence. She understood concerns and was careful to acknowledge these whilst being positive about the future options for people. In this way she supported my vision excellently and helped me to get this across in a less threatening way. Deborah was a pleasure to work with and I would gladly work with her again.
