Better Business Better Life

You've heard the saying happy wife, happy life. This not only applies to marriage but also to business leaders.

We go into business looking for more freedom, money and happiness. But before too long you find yourself working long hours, stressed, overwhelmed and feeling like your business has a grip on you.

From the outside things look good - you've got the car, house, wife, kids, bach and toys but how often do you get freedom to do what you truly love? And is your wife loving you or leaving you?

Learn from those who have built a life they truly love, through building a better business.

About the Host

Debra Chantry-Taylor

EOS Implementer | Business & Leadership Coach | Family Business Advisor | Author | Speaker | Fur baby Mum

Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Professional EOS Implementer & licence holder for EOS Worldwide in New Zealand. She is passionate about Entrepreneurs living their best life... Because life is too short!

As a speaker Debra brings a room to life with her unique energy and experience from a management & leadership career spanning over 25 years. Someone that has both lived the high life, finding huge success with large privately owned companies, and the low life – having lost it all, not once but twice, in what she describes as some spectacular business train wrecks. And having had to put one of her businesses into receivership, she knows what it is like to constantly be awake at 2am, worrying about finances & staff.

Debra now uses these experiences, along with her formal qualifications in leadership, business administration & EOS, to help Entrepreneurial Business Owners lead their best lives. She’s been there and done that and now it’s time to help people do what they love, with people they love, while making a huge difference, being compensated appropriately & with time to pursue other passions.

As a podcast host, she listens intently to her guests & uses her experience to ask meaningful questions that will help the listeners.

Debra can truly transform an organisation, and that’s what gets leaders excited about when they’re in the same room as her. Her engaging keynotes and workshops help entrepreneurial business owners, and their leadership teams focus on solving the issues that keep them down, hold them back and tick them off.

As an EOS implementer, Debra is committed to helping leaders to get what they want and live a better life through creating a better business. Having worked with over 600 business owners and their leadership teams, and having led teams of hundreds herself, Debra is recognised as a leading business woman, as well as one of the top business and leadership coaches in New Zealand.
