About Me

Implementer Category: CertifiedImplementer Tags: auckland nz speaker

I am passionate about helping family business owners & professional services businesses with multiple shareholders achieve their goals both in business & life.

Whether you aim to sell or leave a lasting legacy, building a scalable, sustainable, and saleable business is crucial.

I work with owners, leadership teams & partners to clarify their desires, develop a vision & plan & instill discipline & accountability to reach those goals.

My sessions are infused with energy, curiosity & a sense of fun. However, I also ensure we address the issues.

I am not afraid to confront the elephant in the room, facilitating difficult conversations with kindness & firmness to make the right decisions for the greater good of the business & family.

Having experienced both incredible success & significant setbacks with large privately-owned companies, I bring a wealth of real-world experience alongside my formal qualifications in my role as an EOS Teacher, Facilitator, and Coach.

By leveraging my experience of working with over 600 business owners & leading teams of hundreds myself, I help leadership teams tackle the issues that are holding them back.

Let’s work together to achieve your success!

Kind words from clients about EOS & me

Hear it directly from transformed businesses.

We have been working with Debra and EOS for 12 months now. Debra has been fantastic to work with and helped to speed up and smooth the bumps of our EOS Implementation at BrandSpec. Would thoroughly recommend working with Debra and the EOS program to move your business forward.

Kerry Whitehouse

Managing Director & Integrator, Brandspec

We’re about to hit our 12-month goals in the next month & we’re only 8 months into our year and our EOS journey. EOS / Traction has been a significant part of that outcome and we find our leadership sessions with Debra invaluable. We’ve just completed our 2nd EOS Quarterly Session. I can see how we gain more and more value from each session and we are appreciating in more depth how it all works together. My expectations were wildly exceeded and I am bloody excited about where we are going next!

Richard Austin

Managing Partner & Visionary, Cambridge Partners

Debra is an exceptional EOS Implementer. She has helped our organization successfully implant the EOS framework, driving better alignment, accountability & results. With her expertise Debra has helped us establish clear expectations and prioritize our most important goals. Her collaborative approach and ability to communicate complex concepts make her an invaluable asset to any organization looking to break through the ceiling.
