Debbie is an incredibly approachable and insightful coach with a practical line of action. Her warmth and talent are a wonderful combination and she has given us real gems of advice in how to better formulate our marketing message and grow our business. She has also been more than generous with her time in relaying feedback to us about our Accelerator Programme. She quickly gets to the heart of a business without losing sight of the view from outside which is worth its weight in gold. It’s been a great experience working with her.
