How Debbie works
Debbie's Loving Your Business approach starts with the founder's relationship with the company. She teaches founders to think like investors and treat the business as an asset. Decisions focus on raising the value of the company. Work also covers the assumptions and stories founders hold about money, conflict and self-worth. She also offers a masterclass for business owners.
Background and qualifications
Debbie bootstrapped and scaled her first business, a data analytics services company, over 18 years. As it grew, she had less time and freedom, and she felt trapped. She changed how she thought about the business and how she ran it, then sold it. She made sure the sale went smoothly for staff and customers. She holds a Master of Science in Leadership from the McDonough School of Business and is a Certified Executive Leadership Coach. She also studied at the MIT Entrepreneurial Masters Program and belongs to Entrepreneurs' Organization.
