From high-stakes corporate careers to two decades building a coaching brand that calls BS on outdated leadership norms Dave and Debbie didn’t just pivot, they rewrote the playbook.

Their methods weren’t born in a textbook. They were lived, tested, and forged through adversity, reinvention, and one relentless question:

"What if everything we've been told about leadership is wrong?"

What followed was the creation of a results-driven, emotionally intelligent, no-fluff methodology rooted in one thing, real life. Not theory. Not recycled jargon. Just honest, experience-backed frameworks that get leaders unstuck, out of survival mode, and into intentional, thriving leadership.

They don’t coach from comfort.
They coach from real life, shit happens
And they’ll make you question everything, including yourself!

and. isn’t built on borrowed theories. Every framework, tool, and technique we use comes from our own lived experience, corporate, personal, and everything in between. We challenge, question, and create space for real conversations that drive meaningful change. Whether in a boardroom, a coaching session, or at an and. gathering, we don’t just talk about transformation—we live it.

Debbie doesn’t do small talk. She asks the questions people often avoid but need to hear. As a coach, consultant, and speaker, she helps individuals and businesses navigate growth, transformation, and the realities of change.

Her personal journey is as transformative as the work she does. Widowed by suicide at 25, she spent a decade as a single parent before meeting Dave in 2006. She understands loss, resilience, and reinvention not from books, but from life.

She’s bold, direct, and deeply human,a combination that makes her coaching refreshingly real.
