About

Before I became an EOS Implementer, I lost it all. Twice. I know what 2am worry feels like. I know what receivership looks like from the inside. I rebuilt. And now I bring everything I learned into every room I walk into. That's not a sales line. It's why I see things that others might miss.

My approach has a name now: Carefrontational. [Read the full article here.]

I'm a Carefrontational Changemaker. 

I challenge directly. With warmth. Without apology.

I name the thing nobody else will name. And I stay until things actually change.

Now, I am passionate about helping family business owners & professional services businesses with multiple shareholders achieve their goals both in business & life.

I specialise in family-owned & multiple-shareholder businesses. Where emotions, history & relationships sit right alongside strategy & numbers. Where the conversations that matter most are the ones nobody is having.

Whether you aim to sell or leave a lasting legacy, building a scalable, sustainable, and saleable business is crucial.

In FY2024/25, clients who followed the Proven EOS Process for a full 12 months achieved:

  • 35.25% average increase in top-line revenue
  • 64.9% average increase in net profit

Industries include Family Businesses, Building, Manufacturing, IT Services, SaaS, Professional Services & more.

Smallest client: 12 people. Largest: 680 people.

I work with owners, leadership teams & partners to clarify their desires, develop a vision & plan & instill discipline & accountability to reach those goals.

My sessions are infused with energy, curiosity & a sense of fun. However, I also ensure we address the issues.

I am not afraid to confront the elephant in the room, facilitating difficult conversations with kindness & firmness to make the right decisions for the greater good of the business & family.

Having experienced both incredible success & significant setbacks with large privately-owned companies, I bring a wealth of real-world experience alongside my formal qualifications in my role as an EOS Teacher, Facilitator, and Coach.

By leveraging my experience of working with over 700 business owners & leading teams of hundreds myself, I help leadership teams tackle the issues that are holding them back.

Let’s work together to achieve your success!

My Unique Approach

01
Fierce Clarity

I’ve lived the highs and lows of business, so I see things others miss.

I cut through the noise with honesty and care, helping leaders make confident, meaningful decisions.

02
Loving Truths

I tell the truth with heart - firm, kind and courageous.

No bullshit, no ego, just deep care and a fierce commitment to doing what is right for the business and the people in it.

03
Tenacious Teams

I help teams become strong, honest, aligned decision-makers.

They learn to have the hard conversations, solve issues and lead for the greater good long after I have left the room.

Testimonials

I didn’t realise how stuck I’d become until Debra helped me shift gears. EOS gave me structure, a team I trust and the space to breathe again. The business grows without me glued to it, and I finally have a life I love.
