Get to know Debra Russell
Debra Russell, MBA (DebraRussellCoaching.com) is an elite Certified Business Coach, Keynote Speaker and Professional Development Trainer. In addition to her MBA from the University of Colorado - Boulder, and coaching certification, she holds a Master level Certificate in Ericksonian Hypnosis and NLP, with over 2 decades of experience.
Debra specializes in working with business owners who are pursuing their passion as a business, particularly the Arts & Entertainment Industry and Professional Athletes. Bringing business savvy to your passion, she translates complex business concepts into actionable strategies, helping you create profit while staying true to your values.
She built this business while battling myalgic encephalomyelitis - the illness that forced her to end her career in film and television. Managing her energy became more important than managing her time - which forced her to create powerful systems around time/task management and pacing.
With a background in business from her CPA Mom, and a foundational understanding in how the brain works from her PhD in Experimental Psychology Dad, Debra has been able to blend these seemingly paradoxical paradigms for herself and her clients.
