Debbie, you have transformed my business! I will be eternally grateful for your insight, wise decisions and everything you do for my business. Having been working on my own for over 30 years, working with you has been an absolute game changer for my net profit, business strategy and long term vision. I hope to continue with this tremendous relationship as I've really grown in confidence too!

Richard Fieldhouse. Founder & Chair, National Association of Sessional GPs (NASGP)
My colleagues and I all left Debbie's bespoke workshop buzzing. It wasn't just that we left with a clear sense of direction, with plenty of exciting takeaways. It's that we left feeling that we had a new passion for using LinkedIn for our organisation. It began with very clear communication in the lead up to the workshop and it was quite thrilling that Debbie had clearly spent a lot of time preparing a very specific and bespoke training module which meant we could hit the ground running and make it highly relevant to every individual in our team. Thanks, Debbie!

Andrew McKellar. Founder & MD of AIM Heritage & Development
I was recommended to speak with Debbie after mentioning my apprehension about using LinkedIn. Having now met with her on two separate occasions — including a focused LinkedIn ‘power hour’ — I can confidently say it was time very well spent.
Debbie has a brilliant way of making the platform feel far less daunting, and her guidance has been invaluable in helping me set things up properly ahead of launching an important campaign.
I’d certainly recommend speaking with Debbie to anyone who feels unsure about how to approach LinkedIn or wants to get the most out of it. Thanks again, Debbie. -
Katie Wilson. Director at Blue Spire Accountants
The biggest lightbulb moment for me it was around the relationship between my business page and my personal page. Before our session I wasn't sure if I was getting it right in terms of content but I now have a clear strategy.

Regan du Closel. Life & Transition Coach
Debbie is a strong and tactful pro. She really does her homework, researching you before the meeting, following up afterward and providing structure and value all through the meeting while chatting easily. I was amazed to realise how much I'd learned about Linkedin optimisation, both practically and conceptually, and how much my mindset had evolved in a single hour. Thank you, Debbie!

I asked Debbie for a quick review of a post I did on LinkedIn for charity, she went above and beyond, helped with my headline and also gave me some clear direction on linking my business to my personal account. Some amazing advice! I am so very thankful for her brutal honesty, not being afraid to say it how it is. Really giving me some amazing pointers for the future.

Walter Francisco. Head of Programming, Chichester Cinema
I knew almost nothing about LinkedIn before spending some time with Debbie. I thought it was that boring Social Media vehicle that didn't apply to me. I came out of it with a new perspective on LinkedIn. Debbie showed how it could be used to not only connect with peers in my industry, but how I could use it as a marketing tool for the Cinema I am part of.

Donna Duggan. Mailchimp Specialist
I had a great LinkedIn session with Debbie. I have been a 'lurker' for years but she has given me the confidence, and knowledge, to utilise the platform properly.

Recently partook in one of Debbie's 'How to Fall in Love with LinkedIn' workshops and it's safe to say I'm more of a fan, now! A knowledgeable and inspiring walk-through of how myself and the company can utilise Linked In as best we can. As always, a pleasure to learn from.

Had a wonderful "Winning at LinkedIn" session with Debbie. She really knows her stuff and was able to get me up to speed with all the features, tips and tricks of maximising my use of LinkedIn.

Louise Duggan, Artist, Creative Mentor, Art Consultant & Interior Design Specialist
What a powerhouse of information! I needed a refresh as I have really neglected Linkedin for far to long. Debbie not only guided me though some of the basics that I needed to update, but inspired enthusiasm about the platform and its capabilities. Having had a Super Sixty (Power hour) I realized I have barely scratched the surface of Debbie's in depth knowledge and expertise. Thank you for the inspiration.

Helen Holmes-Fogg, CEO of the National Association of Sessional GPs (NASGP)
The session was fun and enlightening. We have Debbie to come and help our Team to ‘ help us fall in love with a LinkedIn’.
Debbie took the brief in the respect that we wanted something which brought the team together but helped us to understand how we could leverage the platform.
Debbie was engaging, relayed the technicalities in really simple terms, made it real world! We all came away more confident in approaching, not only LinkedIn but other social media platforms in our organisation.
We hope to do more sessions into the New Year with Debbie and I would fully recommend her to other organisations.
