Deborah’s passion for leadership began early. Growing up as one of six children and participating in Girl Guides and the YMCA Aquatic Corps, she learned how to adapt, take responsibility, and collaborate within a system of differing personalities and shared needs.

 

As a Canadian Champion, Four Continents Champion and world class athlete in rhythmic gymnastics, she experienced firsthand how discipline, resilience, and intentional leadership shape both performance and confidence.

 

That foundation carried into a two-decade career with organizations such as CBC/Radio-Canada and Commonwealth Games Canada, where she served as a human resources professional, change lead, facilitator, and operations manager in high-stakes, evolving environments. Clients value how this experience brings practical insight, contextual awareness, and real-world relevance to conversations.

 

Across these experiences, Deborah witnessed leadership at its best — and its worst: how it shapes culture, builds trust or erodes it, and determines whether people feel supported or alone. Those lessons continue to shape how she works with leaders today — particularly those navigating growth, transition, and the serious weight of responsibility.

 

Today, as a certified Master Coach, Deborah partners with leaders, entrepreneurs and growth-minded professionals who want more than incremental growth. Her approach integrates clear thinking, relational intelligence, and grounded self-awareness — helping clients navigate complexity, gain certainty, make aligned decisions, and step into a more authentic impactful leadership and life. She creates a safe space where clients can speak openly, reflect thoughtfully and move forward with intention.
