"But ultimately I wanted people to become great people."

That`s what Debra Leigh Bryant realised was missing from her 23 years in the corporate world. The goals were there. The career was there. But the why wasn`t.

On How to Get Ahead, she talks about what it took to make the leap — and how leaving something that looked good on paper became the thing that finally let her do the work she was actually meant to do.

For coaches who made a similar shift — or anyone supporting clients who are weighing up a big change — this conversation cuts right to the heart of it.

"She was afraid to make a decision that wasn`t 100% correct."

Sound familiar?

Debra Leigh Bryant sees this pattern constantly in the people she works with — the paralysis that comes from needing certainty before you move. The waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect plan, the guarantee that you won`t get it wrong.

On How to Get Ahead, she talks about what`s really underneath that fear — and why the need to be 100% right is often the very thing keeping people furthest from their authentic self.

Debra is a transformational coach, author of Ripple Effect: A Mother`s Journey, and founder of Creating Ripple Effects. Her work helps clients find the answers that were already inside them.
