Sydney Leadership and Communications Consultant Debra Shepherd

Hi, I’m Debra

Life and Business Success Coach FOR PURPOSE-DRIVEN SERVICE-BASED BUSINESS OWNERS AND ENTREPRENEURS

As a Sydney-based Communications Specialist with 25 years of combined experience in the media, corporate communications, public relations, event management and social media marketing and 12 years guiding and educating business owners, entrepreneurs and teams, I know what it’s like to get caught up in a high-intensity, fast-paced lifestyle where you are constantly running through your days and pushing forward. It’s exhausting.

I started Liquid Mango Consulting and my entrepreneurial journey in 2011. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of supporting hundreds of businesses in Australia and overseas in business services, financial services, human resources and recruitment, fashion, real estate, construction, manufacturing, health, wellness and hospitality.

Liquid Mango Consulting began as a social media consultancy helping business owners and teams in Australia and overseas connect, engage and build relationships using social media. Over time, my vision for the business evolved. I felt called to support business owners and entrepreneurs personally and professionally. I could see many service providers, business owners and entrepreneurs not getting the results they were hoping to achieve or making the impact they’re here to make because they were relentlessly pushing forward day after day, doing everything (at once) in life and business and not prioritising themselves. They were tired, stressed, frustrated and on the path to burnout.

YOU DESERVE MORE EASE, JOY, MEANING IN YOUR LIFE AND BUSINESS
