“When you discover someone with the expertise of Debbie Catt, you just want to keep them involved in your business. I hired Debbie as my Business Mentor for the development of my new PR consultancy and the benefits of working with her have been immense. She has a completely innate understanding of how and when to motivate, support and guide you, while ensuring that you are empowered to achieve all your business goals. She uses her creativity and knowledge to enhance your business and is an excellent example of her own mantra of ‘adding value’. I would recommend Debbie to anyone who wants their business to succeed.”

— Frances Pardell, Pardell Public Relations

“I first met Debbie at an online event where she was speaking. She is an amazing force, full of energy in her delivery and has incredible knowledge in her field. She knows exactly how to bring her points across and does that in her unique, engaging, humorous and truly memorable way. A little later I had the privilege to have a 121 mini coaching session with Debbie. Her coaching is laser sharp and to the point! She showed me how to improve the impact of my performance on screen and how to make a better and sharper impression when pitching online. Debbie put an incredible amount of value in our session and I went away with a lot of new knowledge and techniques to apply immediately. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for either a fantastic, engaging and charismatic speaker, a fabulous trainer for group sessions or an incredible 121 coach. She is truly amazing!”

- Kerstin Gruenling, Brand Photographer, Ciorstain-Photography

”I’ve been a coach for over 35+ years and it is rare to find someone in the coaching genre that has not only the skill set, experience, and sheer talent that #DebbieCatt has but is genuinely one very talented lady. Because I’ve seen so many coaches out there I can assure you that Debbie is not only one of my top recommendations for anyone looking to improve their speaking and communication skills but I dare say that I would rank her as one of the top three in the profession. Take my advice and please connect with Debbie if you are serious about standing up and standing out in your delivery and communication skills.”

- BJ Stephens, USA American Ambassador,Your Partnerships Global

“Debbie certainly knows her stuff. With brilliance and professionalism, she helped me not only write my ‘elevator’ pitch, but also showed me how best to deliver it. She knows exactly how to engage with an audience and draw them in from the first vital seconds. Even though my main reason for having coaching with Debbie was for my elevator pitch, I can apply her tips to a variety of different uses, from creating and delivering longer presentations to connecting with potential new clients. I would highly recommend her.”

— Ruth Lewis-Coste, Independent Consultant

“Debbie was an absolute life saver helping to prepare me to speak in public for the launch of my new book. I love Debbie’s approach and really enjoyed our time working together. I am looking forward to doing a TED talk in the future and will definitely be working with Debbie prior to this. She is truly inspiring and fills you with huge confidence which not many people have the ability to do. I could not recommend Debbie more highly.”

— Georgina Smithson, Author and Entrepreneur

”Debbie's coaching sessions have been thoroughly enjoyable, very beneficial, thought provoking and have given me lots to digest and work on. She has helped transform my 60 second pitch for networking groups and my presentation skills, both online and face to face. I will be recommending Debbie to colleagues, family and friends!”

— Ben Williams Dip PFS, Cert CII (MP), Financial Planning Specialist

“I'd like to say how much Debbie helped me during our 1 to 1 session. She gave me some great advice on how to present myself on camera and what to say in networking meetings. She is so full of energy and enthusiasm, and she really knows what she's talking about! I'm looking forward to implementing her suggestions in my business and I'd 100% recommend her.”

— Julia Pohlner, Kaplan Financial

“Entering the world of business with a different offer to many wellbeing providers, I was struggling to get clarity in my messaging regarding the services I deliver. Debbie has been amazing in helping me to really drill down my thinking around my messaging and  giving me the confidence to rethink how I communicate what my business delivers. Debbie's passion, energy, communication style and expert knowledge base make her services exceed anything I had expected, and I would thoroughly recommend her unique, phenomenal approach to anyone.”

— Michelle Francis, Barchester Healthcare

“I attended Debbie Catt's ‘Sparkle on Screen’ Masterclass, so well organised and well worth the time and money. I learnt and benefited so much from that 2 hours, she was absolutely brilliant, good fun and explained everything so clearly that it all made total sense. My confidence has grown on screen and my 60 second pitch has much improved. I would highly recommend Debbie, especially if you need to brush up on your on line performance.”

— Deborah Chappell, Federation of Small Businesses

“I first met Debbie on a train heading down to London and haven't looked back since! Debbie is one very professional, inspirational individual who is an absolute expert in her field. She provided help and advice to help me work out where I want to be...I would certainly use her again!”

— Ann Davies, BixWiz

“My Elevator pitch used to be terrible – I much preferred to have a conversation and ask questions, but it's good to have a pitch to sell yourself if the occasion calls for it as well. Debbie helped me understand the importance of creating impact and enthusiasm with my 60 second intro at networking events, how to relax and have fun with it and how to properly create surroundings that minimise distractions during Zoom calls. I still prefer to have a conversation with potential clients about their needs, but my 60 second intro is A LOT smoother and generates more interest and enquiries. I would absolutely recommend Debbie for anyone who is looking to improve their presence and presentation skills.”

- Aaron Hayle, Business Coach

Speaker

“Debbie Catt was recommended to me as a speaker when I was organising an event for over 200 delegates. Debbie certainly didn’t disappoint. Her high energy, positive and engaging style left the whole audience motivated, energised and wanting more. Since the event, many of our delegates have arranged additional private mentoring sessions with Debbie. We received so many requests from our delegates for another seminar with Debbie, that one is now being organised.”
