New Zealander Debbi Gardiner (DG) McCullough has reinvented herself three times across three continents and industries, most recently leaving academia after 19 years of service to train as an ICF-certified coach.

Debbi’s coaching has helped over 1,000 leaders at the world’s largest tech, manufacturing, and financial corporations tell beautiful stories about their lives and work. With that, many go on to higher promotions and bigger titles internally, externally, or feel inspired to launch their own venture.

She has taught over 3,000 MBA and journalism students at top-tier universities, including Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC Chapel Hill which inspired her entry into coaching.

Her reporting and writing on social trends and struggles, women leadership, and sustainability has featured in the Economist, the Financial Times of London, Engineering News-Record, the Guardian, and NPR. She's interviewed Fortune 100 leaders, the Property Brothers, Hector Garcia, and the Dalai Lama. It's these reporting skills she brings to her Maven communications workshops.

Debbi has a Master’s degree in Journalism from the University of California at Berkeley, where she won the Bloomberg Prize for Excellence in Business Reporting two consecutive years.

She hosts two podcasts, writes on Medium, and is publishing several memoirs and communications guides for the joy, and to democratize the life-changing effects of communications coaching.
