"To double your net worth, double your self-worth. You will never exceed the height of your self-image." – Robin Sharma
As a successful executive, you’ve already proven your ability to excel in demanding roles, navigate complex challenges, and drive business growth. But here’s the truth: To unlock the next level of your success, the most important investment you can make is in yourself.
I’m Deborah Jones, a seasoned Certified Executive Coach, Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner, and the Managing Principal Consultant at The Deborah Jones Collective. I work with accomplished women like you—executives and entrepreneurs who are ready to amplify their impact and step into their full potential.
With a structured, energy-focused approach to executive coaching, I bring a unique blend of certifications to support your personal and professional transformation:
- COR.E Leadership Dynamics Specialist (CLDS)
- COR.E Transitions Dynamics Specialist (CTDS)
- Energy Leadership Master Practitioner (ELI-MP)
- Professional Certified Coach (PCC) certified by the International Coaching Federation, the gold standard for coaching excellence.
As a mentor at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching, I guide aspiring executive coaches toward their certifications. But more importantly, I bring this same dedication and mentorship to my executive clients, helping you navigate leadership challenges with clarity, confidence, and alignment to your highest goals.
My career background spans over 37 years, including a decade working in Human Capital Management with a global leader in people platforms. This experience allows me to partner with top-level executives to solve people, process, and business challenges in measurable, impactful ways.
But here’s the key: While skills and strategies are important, true leadership begins from within. It’s your energy, your mindset, and your self-worth that will shape your legacy. When you invest in your personal growth, you not only elevate your career—you elevate your life.
Whether you are facing a transition, looking to accelerate your growth, or wanting to refine your leadership approach, I’m here to support you in becoming the most powerful and fulfilled version of yourself. Your success starts with you—and I’m committed to helping you achieve it.
When you invest in coaching, you invest in your future. Let’s work together to ensure that the next chapter of your leadership journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

Knowing, Growing, and Showing
Why Women Need Leadership Coaching: A Path to Empowerment, Growth, and Change
Why Women Need Leadership Coaching: A Path to Empowerment, Growth, and Change
As women, and particularly as women of color, our journeys in leadership are uniquely complex and layered with challenges. Whether you're navigating systemic barriers, battling unconscious bias, or striving to break through the glass ceiling, the path to leadership can often feel isolating. But it doesn’t have to be. Leadership coaching, especially when tailored to your specific experiences, can provide not just the tools to succeed, but the empowerment to thrive.
At the core of effective leadership is confidence—the confidence to make bold decisions, to assert your voice, and to lead with authenticity. However, for many women, this confidence is often tested by external factors like societal expectations, biases in the workplace, or a lack of mentorship opportunities. That’s where leadership coaching comes in. It is designed to help you grow in ways that are deeply personal, and it is the ally you need to confront and overcome the barriers in your way.
Navigating Unique Challenges: A Personalized Approach
Leadership coaching for women, especially women of color, recognizes that your journey is not like any other. The challenges you face—whether implicit bias, stereotype-driven limitations, or the absence of role models in senior leadership—are real. These barriers can hinder your potential, but they do not define your worth or your capabilities. A skilled coach understands these dynamics and provides targeted guidance to help you break free from these limitations.
Coaching is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It's an evolving relationship that adapts to your needs and aspirations. Your coach will offer tailored strategies to navigate these challenges, helping you gain the confidence you need to step into leadership roles with authority. You will work together to build a toolkit that not only addresses the barriers you face but empowers you to create your own space at the table.
Cultural Competence: A Deep Understanding of Your World
As a woman of color, your experiences in leadership are shaped by cultural nuances that cannot be overlooked. That’s why it’s critical to work with a coach who understands the intersectionality of race, gender, and leadership. A coach who is culturally competent can provide nuanced support that considers your unique background, perspective, and challenges. They don’t just offer advice; they walk beside you, acknowledging the realities of your journey while pushing you toward your full potential.
