ThinkPartner Life Career and Business Coaching

After facing challenges adjusting to the employment market in Canada as a Newcomer, I needed assistance re-strategizing. Deborah was just the right person for the job. Her personable and tailored approach made me feel understood and encouraged. Not only do I have more clarity in terms of a detailed plan for the next few years, Deborah has also helped me create some very critical relationships. The Design Thinking approach used meant that her advice was multi-layered and reframed how to leverage different aspects of my existing skills and experiences. For the first time in my career I feel that I am actively designing a reality that is suited to my goals and perspectives instead of just ticking boxes. Lastly, Deborah has taught me how to embrace my authenticity - an unexpected yet welcome development.

Deborah is a fantastic coach, who is enthusiastic and supportive. She helped me explore my desire to be an entrepreneur and start my own business, asking me the right questions and providing me with great resources such as the book Designing Your Own Life. And now we are working together on refining a business plan and strategy with my business partner and I. She's got great knowledge of business loans, grants, and has challenged us in the right ways.

I was new to life/career coaching when I found Deborah and had two sessions with her initially (there may be more to come). I had no expectations as I had no experience to compare to, but what I was able to take away from our sessions far surpassed what I had hoped for. In just two sessions, I learned so much about myself, which helped me narrow down what I was looking for. Deborah helped me form a plan for my life, helped broaden my perspective, helped me realize my worth, and gave me goals to focus on and work toward, which I'm currently doing! She is extraordinarily talented and passionate about what she does. She is a very positive person and her energy and light are infectious. I have shared my experience with Deborah with my friends and family and continue to recommend her to anyone who feels like they need a little help finding direction in life. Thank you, Deborah!

Deborah was highly engaged and provided insights into our business strategy and approach that were direct and actionable. She coached us on our business plan, has a wealth of knowledge in the start up space and helped us get clear on our funding goals + approach.

Deborah has been an amazing coach to work with over the years. I've made some pretty big decisions during that time and could not have done it without her guidance and support. It's been great to have someone with her experience and creative talents to help me keep my various businesses heading in the right direction. Highly recommended!
