Group Coaching Testimonials
“I love Debra's visual coaching approach - for me it was the best and most helpful coaching program I have attended. ...With her exercises I had something visual I could work with ... that really helped me to understand my current needs and my current position life. A few of these tools made it into my daily routine or I get to come back to them whenever I need a new impulse. Debra's coaching covered a huge pallet of different topics - analysing the status quo, gaining confidence, identifying needs and also finding closure with events in the past - which really helped me to let go and to move on. Debra is not presenting easy fixes - she is offering techniques for long lasting changes.”
Raphael Hamm, VFX SupervisorAttendee of Connect and Reset, DNEG
“Debbi recently curated a brilliant leadership skills course. She really understood the requirements at the beginning but was able to adapt once the sessions started based on feedback from participants. Debbi was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend Debbi for future coaching and training. The feedback from those who took part in the course was all extremely positive and this showed how strong Debbi’s understanding of how to be a leader in a creative fast paced business is.”
Sophie AlderHR Business Partner, Damien Hirst’s Science Ltd
“Thank you so much for running this course! I found each session to be engaging, and I came away from each one with at least one new insight or action that I could apply. It's given me a variety of different tools/frameworks to use to reflect on and examine different areas of my life. Despite my initial nervousness, I found that it was fun being in the group environment, and great to have that opportunity to learn from each other. 10/10 would thoroughly recommend!”
Attendee of Connect and Reset group coachingDNEG
“I completed the group Leadership Skills for VFX Supervisors course and the 1:1 Leadership Coaching and would highly recommend both to any leaders or aspiring leaders in the industry. Debra has an in-depth understanding of the VFX industry and our roles within it which gives us a good shorthand and means we can focus on the leadership skills, tools and techniques most relevant to our day to day work. I have come out of the course more confident and self aware as a leader and with an understanding of areas for improvement as well as my own motivations and goals and how to achieve them. The coaching certainly took me out of my comfort zone a few times and made me realise how seldom we are able to step back and honestly analyse ourselves at work. Having seen the positive impact this has had on myself and my colleagues I think more of this can only be a good thing.”

“I truly enjoyed this training. It gave me a sense of direction when it came to visualizing where I needed to focus in my personal life and work life, what was lacking and what is doing well. It also provided a different perspective on how to tackle challenges and priorities. I would strongly recommend it for anyone in VFX that is open-minded and is looking to find more balance in their life”
Bonnie Dorais, Global Talent Development ManagerAttendee of How To Find a Better Balance group coaching for QFTC/BCTQ
“A calm and enjoyable way to learn about your challenges and skillset with great interaction in the group to share insight in oneself and each other and beautifully led with kind recognition by Debra. I came away feeling heard and lifted.”
Hannah Lee Miller, ProducerAttendee of How to Find a Better Balance group coaching
“Since taking the course, I have re-evaluated my work/life balance and put many of the teachings into practice and I look forward to continuing to do so. Debra's teaching style is warm, engaging and informative and this combination really allowed me (to) openly communicate my thoughts and feelings throughout the course. If you are looking to find better balance when it comes to work and your personal life, I highly recommend this course.”
Jahirul Amin, VFX Trainer, CAVE AcademyAttendee of How to Find a Better Balance group coaching
“I enjoyed my training session with Debra a lot. We learned about the source of stress and how it affects the brain; but also a varied range of strategies to manage it better. This variety of strategies makes it easier for anyone to find one that works for them!”
Attendee of Time and Stress Management workshopQFTC/BCTQ
“Debra's workshop is extremely valuable!! She provides easy to remember tips that we can easily refer to in stressful times. In past workshops I have attended, the steps are so convoluted you can't remember what to do. Debra really distills down the basics in a way I know I will be able to remember and refer to when I am stressed.”
Attendee of Time and Stress ManagementDNEG Animation
“Informative, well presented and valuable guidance. A must for those seeking stress, time management and effective strategy for their VFX productions”
Attendee of Time & Stress ManagementQFTC
“Debra's wisdom was really inspiring, especially concerning the stress management. Knowing her career, we'd expect someone completely burnt out, but she shows so much peace and calm that it gives more power to what she teaches.”
Attendee of Time & Stress ManagementQFTC
“The way that Debra gives her workshop, makes us understand that work/life balance can and should be a happy marriage. I like the way and the tone she talks.. makes me feel more calm. Thank you Debra”
