hi
I'm Debbie
This is where I should introduce myself & my credentials for helping you on this journey. Let me start by saying I believe in a better world.
Instead let me tell you what I have discovered after 20 years of studying purpose & working as both a purpose driven Intrapreneur & Entrepreneur.
It's lonely.
Running a purpose led business or brand requires you to do things differently or do different things. It sometimes feels like you are swimming upstream, constantly trying to balance purpose & profit whilst staying on top of the trends so you can remain relevant & build a sustainable business.
It can feel completely overwhelming.
Conventional tools are often designed to lead from the past, putting profit first & to tell you the truth - the only way to lead a purpose driven business or brand is from future as it emerges & of course from the inside - you & your humans know best.
Harnessing the power of purpose & human-centred thinking will be the best thing you ever do for yourself. Use your magic.
I look forward to taking this journey with you.
