Deborah’s background includes 13 years hands-on line management experience across 23 different countries as well as 10 years as an independent consultant.
As Editorial Director for a global organisation, she was responsible for more than 50 multi-cultural employees and travelled extensively.
Her experience in global communication and change processes, strategic planning, budgeting, managing and motivating people and product development provided a sound basis for her to move into the area of organisational development and human resources 10 years ago. At that time she established a global Human Resources function for an international company to support them through a major change process.
Since then she has worked as a consultant in a wide variety of corporate environments, ranging from small privately owned businesses to large well-known public companies. During large-scale change initiatives she has worked with senior executives to assist them and their teams in transforming organisational and leadership cultures, with the emphasis on maintaining the health and well being of all personnel through one-to-one coaching.
Deborah is now a coach and consultant specialising in communication, leadership development and change management in a multi-cultural environment. Through her personal coaching work she developed the Juggling for Life process to help individuals at all levels in organisations avoid the increasingly serious issues of stress and ‘burn out’, a process that has also been successful in helping people regain their full effectiveness in the workplace.
