“I attended Debbie’s Vision board workshop and absolutely loved it. Having never done a vision board, Deb really worked through valuable content leading up to creating the board. The workshop felt succinct and impactful to my business and personal goals. Would recommend highly to anyone”

Tenders are never easy at the best of times - let alone when you’re juggling illness, hospital stays, and a million other things. What could have been a disaster (or even a reason to give up) turned into a kick-ass submission, all thanks to Deb. She took the ideas and methodology swirling in my head, worked seamlessly with my off-sider Jacqueline Cee, and somehow transformed it all into a polished, strategic, and hopefully winning submission - just in time for the deadline. And this is just one of the many things Deb excels at. Her expertise spans business advisory, facilitation, financial management, and so much more. She truly is a powerhouse. I honestly can’t thank Deb enough. It’s moments like these that remind me how powerful the right connections are - especially in this amazing Small Business Hub AU that Kelly built, and how I found Deb in the first place. Deb, your support, skill, and generosity mean the world. I truly appreciate you!

I had the pleasure of having a very informative meeting experience with Debbie. She has a wealth of knowledge and I can't thank her enough for guiding me through the grant writing process for small business.

“Excellent facilitation of a Leadership level session with pre, during and post session activities ensuring maximum value was derived for all participants. Thanks again Debbie.”

Very well spoken, genuinely listens and very clearly understands the point you are trying to get across! (Wollondilly Business Chamber Panel Member)

We recently engaged Debbie to run a 'Get Tender Ready' workshop for our internal team. Debbie is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her to ensure all of our documentation and policies were centralised and up to date, so we can be ready for any suitable tenders which come in!

“Debbie has been a fabulous support for my small business. Both individually through her consulting services and workshops and more broadly through her leadership in local business networks. Grateful for all that you do Deb!”

”Debbie delivers a professional and well thought out workshop filled with gems. Certainly worth it.”

From the first moment I met Debbie she did not have to sell herself as a business consultant to me, I was drawn to her for the person that she is. She is professional, authentic, witty, and has a great sense of humour. It is not often that you find someone that shares the same values and life experiences, hence why I have chosen Debbie to be that business mentor for me. It is also great that Debbie is an ex-nurse and can understand the complexities faced in healthcare businesses. I look forward to Debbie's long-term support, guidance, mentorship, business advice and honesty.

Debbie provided great care, consideration and expertise through every step of the process when working together on developing a strategic workshop, complete with pre-survey questions for direct feedback. I found the summary report, draft goals template and guidance that Debbie provided eased the stress around such an important process, with achievable and practical outcomes the end result.
