Leadership Coaching Testimonials
“I'm aware this review may sound too positive but I really would recommend Debbi's coaching to anyone as I think everyone could gain something from it. When starting, I thought I may gain some confidence and work through issues I was worried about but I really didn't expect to grow this much. Debbi has not only worked through the issues with me, but has given me the tools to do so myself in future. I have applied the tools Debbi has given me to great success at work, but I've even extended this to my home life and I really can't thank Debbi enough...I've been told by a few people, including my manager that I'm visibly more confident and I genuinely feel like an upgraded version of myself now.”
Sophie RussellProduction Manager, DNEG London
“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
“For my first coaching experience, Debra has made a great first impression to this process. It was so easy to work with her and before I know it, we were gaining momentum in our process. I wasn’t sure how coaching would impact me at the end but I’m pleased to say I feel the transformation in me and I have Debra to thank. I am recommending coaching with Debra to my team because I know it will be a positive impact.”
Gretel NgProduction Supervisor. Scanline
“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.”
Attendee of Leadership Skills for VFX SupervisorsUnion VFX
“My experience of coaching with Debbi exceeded my expectations. I have left the sessions feeling more confident, grounded and excited about my career, with a toolkit of resources to draw on. Debbi has a wonderful way of putting you at ease and creating a safe space, which allows you to be open and get so much out of the sessions ... I would recommend Debbi to anyone looking to develop themselves, to challenge their perception of themselves and to improve confidence and direction.”
Sophie MaydonFounder, PXL Talent
“The Coaching sessions with Debra were very helpful. Within a few sessions I gained some insights that would have taken me years to learn on my own. It seems like a shortcut for career progression, we did not only work on my weaknesses but I also got tools and models that will help me manage my team more effectively in the years to come.”
Dimitri AndereggDepartment Manager, Scnaline VFX
“Working with Debbie has helped me start to build a structure in which to operate more effectively. Together, we identified some of the underlying tendencies that hold me back, and came up with ways to manage and harness these. I feel much better equipped to take on bigger challenges without getting overwhelmed.”
Andy CuthbertPipeline Supervisor, DNEG Montreal
"My coaching sessions with Debra were insightful as I gained more awareness of myself and developed strategies to achieve the goals I've set. Her knowledge of vfx made our discussions very easy, as she understands the nuances of the industry and can relate from direct experience. I appreciated the way she carefully guided each session, and was able to pivot on topics that came up in a very organic way. I learned some very valuable lessons with Debra that I will use every day."
