Sydney Leadership and Communications Consultant Debra Shepherd

Hi, I’m Debra.

Life and Business Success Coach and Communications Consultant

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 relentlessly pushing forward, doing everything (at once) in life and business, only to find themselves tired, stressed, frustrated and on the path to burnout.

YOU CAN ACHIEVE MORE BY DOING LESS. ARE YOU READY TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE AND BUSINESS?
