"What I liked best about this training is the excellent trainers; the dynamics between them worked perfectly. The great balance between knowledge, development and practical application to enforce learning. The quality of content and presentation. I would tell others to go for it! But ensure they are attending for learning and development and they are responsible for their own learning. Open your mind and prepare to improve! Besides themselves the trainers are key. Jonathan and Deborah are fantastic trainers."

The positive effects also ripple out to their families and communities. Deborah also develops customised workshops to meet people and business outcomes."

- Karyn Walker, Change Management Specialist

"I first met Deborah when searching for a training provider that could offer a leadership program for our teams at the City of Gold Coast that would transform and shift the way leaders approached their roles. Deborah’s program is unique in the way that transforms the thinking and behaviour of leaders and truly inspires them to become the sort of leader you would want to work for. We ran the program many times with great success. I know that the tools and knowledge Deborah imparted are still used everyday by the leaders who had the opportunity to attend the program. Deb was further requested on several occasions to undertake individual coaching with leaders across the business who all found their time with her to be invaluable in helping them to achieve their goals both personally and professionally. She has a wonderful ability to unlock hidden potential in those she works with."

I have worked with the top business coaches in the world and spent a lot of time in there seminars, and found Deborah to be on the same level and also knows how to add more value then you pay for.

- Lisa Boorer, Brisbane

"Since having the sessions I have had my confidence restored, I've been able to rid myself of depression and anxiety and be more in control of my emotions and the direction of my life. I've been happier and more relaxed and for the first time in my life I'm happy with who I am. It's fantastic! I feel more energised, happy and free. I've realised I don't have to drag around 'baggage' from the past and I can now get on with the future and look forward to it. I'm very excited."
