About me

Right now, what’s your reality?

You’ve either been in business for a while and are in the “ramp up” or “scale up” phase or you’ve recently taken the plunge from salaried employment to having your own business.

You really enjoy helping people, making a difference and having a greater purpose than the regular 9 to 5 job.

You want to live life on your terms, doing the things you love, spending quality time with family and friends and earning more than paid employment.

Right now, that’s not your reality.

Because you’ve realised that being in business is harder than you thought, it’s challenging, you’re wearing multiple hats, trying to squeeze more into your day and you’re not that great at delegating.

You find yourself trading time for money, experiencing boom and bust cycles financially, constantly busy and worrying about the next day, and working too hard for modest returns.

Sound familiar?

I help Professionals, Business Owners, and Leaders

I’m Deborah Kleinert. I’m a business mentor and facilitator.

I work with Professionals, Business Owners and Leaders. Many of them come to me after constantly repeating the same behaviour while wishing to achieve different results. We cannot solve a problem with the same thinking that created it.

I help Professionals, Business Owners, and Leaders:

  • Get out of their own way – adopt the right mindset
  • Become clear on vision and purpose
  • Think differently and strategically
  • Formulate plans to achieve goals
  • Leverage their time and perform more effectively in business and do the things that matter
  • Take action and create change to achieve successful outcomes
  • Build strong long term relationships that help overcome challenges and create new opportunities
  • Become a leader in the marketplace

My story

I have 18 years’ professional experience in leading multinational consulting firms, major corporations, boutique businesses (i.e. Deloitte, DMR Consulting, Telstra and The Coaching Institute) and my own practice.

I wanted more from my corporate career and after starting an MBA realised that I enjoyed helping people perform more than large corporates. I wanted to play a much bigger game.

I become insatiably curious about human behavior and performance to effect positive sustainable change and chose to invest in different forms of education.

I’ve since learnt from, and worked with, some of Australia’s best performance and business coaches and continue to invest in my business in Australia and overseas.

I’ve worked on numerous high profile multi-million dollar transformational change initiatives and coached and mentored hundreds of professionals, business owners and leaders, especially in service-based industries.

My greatest joy is helping people like you think differently, create sustainable results, and positively innovative and disrupt their marketplace.

Claire MarkgraaffWomen's Performance Strategist
I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your time Deborah; it has changed everything for me and I am finally ready to serve and get on with it! I've spent 20 years building brands from scratch from doing all the strategic planning to working with team members and suppliers to ensure the brand speaks with one voice and delivers on the promise across every touch point.Deborah made me realise that all the delays on getting myself moving were because I was not comfortable with my niche. Thanks to Deborah I've just come full circle. What I love more than anything is brand marketing, that's my niche. I see it all clearly now, how all the pieces fit together, my coaching skills, my obsession with leadership and walking the talk and my love for brand and the emotional connection that is at it's heart.
