ANEWDAY is a values-led leadership development and coaching practice. A space to reset and reimagine your leadership identity. Led by Debra Birks, with 30 years of executive experience, she has been facilitating and coaching across Australia and Asia/Pacific for 15 years clocking up over 10,000 hours of face to face executive coaching. Debra is trained and certified in Dr. Brené́ Brown’s Dare To Lead™, an evidenced-based practical program building courage cultures and brave leaders – which she believes is the number #1 skill needed today. COURAGE she says, “is the foundational skill required both professionally and personally if you want to be a leader, still standing, 3-5 years from now.” Fusing her business acumen and leadership expertise, with tools of positive psychology, and neuroscience, plus Brown’s research; Debra weaves in her own life stories, with humour and wisdom; challenging you with what you think it takes to be a brave leader and to what it actually takes to create a ‘culture of courage’ for yourself and your organisation. A Lvl3 IECL ICF certified executive & leadership coach, Debra is currently a Master of Leadership candidate at Deakin University.
