Deb has done it all with senior management roles in industries ranging from international travel to homewares and everything in between. Her true passion though was brought to life when she could help workplaces navigate their way through challenging situations while building engaged and successful teams and so she founded HR Staff n' Stuff in 2008. Deb has helped a huge array of businesses with their people stuff ever since whether it's getting the basics such as contracts and policies in place or working though a strategic development plan that supports growth, developing extraordinary leaders, training and development for teams of all sizes and abilities, mentoring, DiSC workshops, succession plans... You name it, Deb's done it with a smile and a practical, down to earth approach.
Outside of her time spent building exceptional teams, Deb wants to live in a world filled with puppies, baby goats in pyjamas, chocolate and free round the world airline tickets so she can continue to explore more of this big wide world with her wife and friends!

Our Kirsty sure does love a good project, especially when there’s detail and data to dig into!
Projects feature outside of work too. Being a foodie, Kirsty spends time honing her baking skills and she has a keen interest in the arts, cross-stitch, weaving, knitting, baking, preserving and knife-making (for real) to name a few. But her favourite projects are her partner, daughter and their fur babies Billy Baxter and Finnigan.
