Success doesn’t happen by chance.

Most careers are run on luck, hope and hard work.

The people who reach the top run theirs on strategy.

Whether you’re stepping up, feeling stuck of ready for a change, don’t let chance — or the market — dictate your path.

You’ve invested years in your career, it’s time to build the business case for your next move.

A success story starts with a plan

The Integrated Career Blueprint™ is a 12-week 1:1 career strategy program for professionals at a turning point.

Whether you’re stepping up into a more senior role, moving across industries, or ready for a career change, we have a high-impact program built on an insider’s view of how hiring decisions are actually made.

Why work with me

I’ve been on every side of the table

I started as an employment lawyer, advising organisations on how to think about people — contracts, restructures, succession and the conversations behind the scenes.

Then I spent nine years leading teams and businesses across Brazil and Australia, building teams from scratch and making the call on who to progress.

For the past 5 years I've been an executive recruiter in energy, infrastructure and commodities markets. That means my working week is spent consulting with hiring managers on what capability they need to hire to grow, shortlisting professionals for strategic appointments, interviewing executives and reading CVs — thousands of them.

I see how talent markets shift, which skills are in demand, which roles are shrinking, and how the best professionals actually stand out within a strong shortlist.

I also reinvented my professional career multiple times, across industries and different countries, and have learned the ropes of how to translate your value from one role to the next.

And that is the view I bring to your career strategy.

Not coaching theory — a live, working knowledge of how markets move and how appointments are actually made.

What is The Integrated Career Blueprint™

A career strategy, built with purpose

Most people progress their careers on luck, hope and hard work. The ones who reach the top run their careers on strategy: they know what they're worth, what the market wants, and how to close the gap between the two.

And they’ve learnt how to create their own opportunities

The Integrated Career Blueprint™ is a structured hands-on program for experienced professionals at a turning point.

Stop waiting for the market to dictate your next step and start building the case for where you want to go.

How does it work

The Integrated Career Blueprint™ moves you through three stages:

Inward (What do your bring)
We start with a structured diagnostic of your experience, results and scope — and position it the way decision-makers need to read it.
→ your Career Capital & Executive Positioning Report

Outward (Where are you going)
We turn to the market to map the strategic pathways to your next move, tested against the actual market demand. You chose the path, we map the gaps worth closing.
→ your Career Pathways & Gap Map

Forward (How to get there)
We build a pragmatic 3-5 year direction and a 12-month action plan that turns strategy into decisions, tasks and timing — and a positioning ready for impact.
→ your 12-Month Action Plan

What's included

  • 8 private 1:1 sessions (60–75 minutes) over 12 weeks — weekly first, then fortnightly

  • Structured exercises and market research between sessions (1–2 hours a week)

  • Three strategic reports that are yours to keep

  • Bonus: the Interview Strategy Masterclass, pre-recorded and yours on demand

What you walk away with

  • A positioning that does the work for you — a clear, evidence-backed story of your value, in the language senior decision-makers use

  • A market-informed view — which skills and roles are in demand, where your experience travels, and what it is worth

  • Pathways, chosen deliberately — up, across or in, tested against the market rather than guessed

  • The gaps, named and closed — no more "am I ready?"

  • A clear plan with tasks and strategies

  • Interview-ready — you'll know how panels actually assess, briefed by someone who helps runs them

  • "Debora’s coaching was exactly what I needed as I stepped into a bigger leadership role. I walked away inspired, motivated and more confident in what I bring to the table. Her guidance is both practical and empowering.”

    Kate, Head of Product - Tech

Who is this program for

The Integrated Career Blueprint™ fits corporate professionals at a turning point:

  • Stepping up — experienced managers and specialists moving into senior leadership or executive roles

  • Moving across — lateral moves, industry changes, or repositioning skills built in one market for another

  • Landing — expats and international professionals entering the Australian market, or rebuilding a career in a new context

  • Recalibrating — high performers who've been "almost ready" too long, or who want a clear-eyed view of what's their next move

If you're looking for executive coaching on how you operate — clarity, influence and boundaries — The Integration Code™ may be the better fit → /the-integration-code]
