Debs’ Experience

 

Debs has learned a great deal in her personal life as a wife, mother and Nanna! That blended with gaining extensive theoretical experience during her academic studies and practical experience during her career in UK and NZ as a business owner and senior executive.

Setting up her own business Success Factor came about because it was felt it was time to devote her wealth of knowledge and experience in helping others in their aspirations to reach their goals and targets – investing in the people factor and success factor.

Debs has also learned a great deal during her varied experience in numerous voluntary roles, such as being a counsellor, listener, consultant, trainer and facilitator, and feels the combination of this experience has and is being put to great use working with her clients and businesses.

Debs loves working with people and supporting those who have a vision of where they would love to be but don’t know how to achieve it.

Becoming a professional consultant and coach is what she is totally committed and dedicated to and focusing on the mission of her business ‘to inspire you to reach your goals, targets and full potential by working together to make a difference’ is what her ambition is!
