women to watch Deborah Cooper Deborah Cooper is an unique and rare individual with the ability to communicate to any dynamic of human. Six months ago, I had Deborah come into my company to talk to my staff. The results were remarkable – productivity, morale and motivation lifted and those who didn't really want to be there soon left. Debz principles and teaching style is like no other I have ever come across in my time as a CEO in business. Debz insight and knowledge of human behaviour in the workplace is truly invaluable. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Debz for being a key component in changing my mindset as a boss and CEO, enabling me to understand how to communicate to my business partners and staff in terms of their values to get the company values met. But most of all, during this process I realised that I could also utilise what I learnt in my personal life, enhancing my relationship with family and friends. Debz is truly one stimulating inspirational individual I have had the pleasure to listen to and learn from. I would highly recommend any business that is experiencing staff productivity or motivation issues to give Deborah a call and experience the change that we did!

Deborah Cooper is a single mother, international speaker, business mentor and the only person in New Zealand who is a Senior Demartini Method® Facilitator, to which there are only a handful around the world. Deborah specialises in taking uninspired and underperforming teams through a process which transforms how teams communicate and ultimately profits with productivity dramatically increasing. With a corporate background, Deborah was challenged with staying inspired and felt she had lost direction. Balancing her professional and personal life was frustrating. She discovered Dr John Demartini and learnt she wasn't open to what was around her - her purpose became unlocked - to assist people to master their lives. In 2007, Deborah launched Universal Connections which was recently rebranded to DebzCooper.Com. She works with clients through issues in every situation imaginable. Deborah says, "My work I do is based on universal laws and The Demartini Method®. It is developed by Dr Demartini and is the culmination of more than 40 years of studies in numerous disciplines. A process that neutralises an emotional charge, balances your mental and physical reactions, opens your heart and clears your mind." Resolving emotional issues allows you to increase your enthusiasm for life as well as increase your vitality, successes, enhances relationships and fulfilment across your life. Once your perception has been shifted, your story dissolves allowing your mind to focus on things more inspiring. This work has no boundaries and can be used in all areas. Deborah offers workplace visits to "keep the team inspired or to find the 'right fit' employee for the business." She finds that her specialty in this area is also with women and entrepreneurs to assist them with defining a balance of keeping the family happy and the business productive. Deborah not only works with businesses. "In the last six months I have worked with a variety of clients. I have worked with a 12 year old girl who had 'puberty' issues and a 74 year old who was holding onto a secret from his stag night (yes that's 55 years of shame and guilt we cleared together). In between those ages are mums struggling to cope with reality, abandonment issues, fear of failures, body image concerns, and alcohol and drug issues - no two days are ever the same." "Any area that you are disempowered, someone else will take over," Deborah says. "The key in your life is to be empowered in all areas. I know we all have challenges in life and you have choices on how to deal with your challenges. You either stand up or shrug away – the choice is yours. We have all been there before and have made it through. Just trust the process. There is a greater vision going on, you may just not know it yet. My challenges taught me the principles I live by today." Deborah says "Desperation and being overwhelmed leads to frustration and negativity. Inspiration leads to fulfilment and gratitude. Provide a service from the heart and you will reap the rewards, in more ways than you can imagine." Deborah works closely with Dr John Demartini and is the Australasian host for The Demartini Institute.
