I have lived many entrepreneurial lives! I can’t remember a time I was not in business.
A thirst for new concepts and a diverse set of interests has made the world of business the perfect playground for my career. Whether running my own companies (there have been many) or coaching other entrepreneurs, ccuriosity is what keeps me stretching toward the edges for new possibilities, while my “hands-on” approach leads the way for immediate action.
I have spent years creating an engaging and balanced life and now facilitate others to do the same. At the core of my work is this first-hand knowledge that leaning toward your values, strengths and purpose will always serve as a strong compass for decisions, direction and strategy. They are the pillars to an engaging and rewarding life.
Clients don’t only connect with me to uncover new ideas, but to build the strategy that will set these exciting possibilities in motion. My work helps them tackle the challenges that arise along their path, and uncover fresh ways to bridge the gap between the “what if” and the “what is”.
The best way to sum it all up, as one of my clients puts it:
“Passionately creative and industry insightful, Deborah is that rare combination of entrepreneurial intellect and ideating intuition that creates amazing out of the box ideas for strategy and business.”
Intrigued by the world of possibilities, I spend much of my time connecting to new concepts, learning new things and creating adventures – where discovery happens. I believe in balance and play. This is the fuel that drives my life and the work I do.
JESSICA ELLIOTT
For as long as I can remember, I have had the curiosity to connect with people. I see beyond their first layer and into what really drives them and what really matters.
When I was a child, I staged elaborate productions in my living room, dressing up unsuspecting guests in whatever costume I could find to tell stories. As an adult, I found myself attending university for theater. I am drawn to stories and what drives ones narrative.
I also like things in order, simplified and spacious. I have the ability to help others put thoughts and physical lives in order and to clear out what’s not working for them. As a collaborator with Deborah in ThinkPartner, I assist clients with accountability coaching and support along the journey. I am a recent grad of the Royal Roads Executive Coaching program and am working on a group participation project called LifeTox.
