Debbie Roberts CEO, Leader, Business Coach, Advisor, Author

During my time living and working across Western Sydney, I have established a strong network of contacts in the areas of business, health, education, not-for-profits, charities, hospitality, local and state government and economic development. From creating practical strategies and user-friendly business plans, to assisting with stakeholder engagement, marketing, fundraising and sponsorship management, governance, business processes and systems, I can advise on all aspects of business practice - and introduce you to the right specialists if you need additional support. I will help you to unpack the opportunities in your business by working with you to identify the strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats, and I will facilitate valuable connections and relevant collaborations to help you on your journey. I absolutely thrive on connecting and empowering small business owners and organisational leaders to build their knowledge and capability for long term success. My role is to support you and provide you with the level of guidance, support and access to information, networks and people that you require. Using a collaborative approach, I share my skills in the areas of strategy and business planning, stakeholder engagement, business systems, financial management and marketing to help you reach your full potential. You are not just a number to me; I am deeply passionate about supporting people and am committed to getting the job done. There will always be opportunities that I can help you unlock and am genuinely excited about discussing your ideas, your future plans and how I can build your success story. So, take that leap to create your own story, contact me today and book a free introductory meeting via phone to discuss your needs and how I can help you. Then if you would like to work with me to achieve your goals, we will book in a meeting to discuss how we can unpack your opportunities and come up with a plan to make it happen!
