I'M NOT YOUR TYPICAL BUSINESS COACH
Think of me as your Strategic Business Consultant and Personal Life Coach. Trust me, as a Creative Business Owner, you'll appreciate the comprehensive business support and support for your overall well-being.
As a Consultant, I guide you to implement a strategic structure to comprehensively streamline your business.
You'll learn how to create a vision & action plan, structure for your staffing, systemize everything, solve issues, create solutions and everything in between.
I'll outline actions steps, teach the frameworks and share resources galore for extra support.
All of this goodness will make your entrepreneurial experience feel easier, smoother, more enjoyable!
As a Coach, I don't assume to know what you need- 10x growth, scaling, expanding. I can help you do all of that, but I start by asking thought-provoking questions and let you dictate your goals, not me.
I also won't tell you what to do. Your actions (and non-actions) are always your choice, and you hold yourself accountable to you (not me). This approach leads to empowerment (not codependency) because one day, I want you to operate confidently, without my support.
Lastly, I don't step over the underlying issues you mention, but want to ignore, even if they're personal. Your business success is directly related to your life experience, so it's important to work on whatever is holding you back, so you can move forward.
Our conversations will allow you time and space to process and decide what's the next best step for you.
READY TO KNOW HOW I CAN HELP YOU?
HOW AM I QUALIFIED TO HELP?
Your business needs an operations expert. You're not there yet, but lucky for you- I am.
I owned, operated and sold a high-end floral design & event production company. Out of necessity, I became an operations expert and transformed my business into a profitable, well-oiled machine.
I sold my floral business at the height of success, because I wanted to help other creative business owners make the kind of change that restores their energy, reignites their passion, and allows them to do the work they love. Out of my passion for growth, change & transformation, I became a coach and launched The Roots Group.
In my first year, I worked with a high-end design/build/remodel company. I helped them streamline business operations and improve their leadership & communication skills. After our work together, their revenue doubled.
Creating a program to help that business was easy for me. Operationally-speaking these two design-based industries are almost identical, giving me confidence to share my expertise and support creatives in both areas.
CURIOUS TO KNOW ABOUT MY PROGRAMS
MY CREDENTIALS
My goal as a Coach is simple: to be really, really good at coaching, for the benefit of my clients.
For these reasons, I have earned Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentials from the International Coaching Federation (ICF). "Anyone can call themselves a Coach, but the ICF-credentialed coaches are professionals who have met stringent education and experience requirements, and have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the coaching competencies that set the standard in the profession." -ICF

ABOUT DEBBY J.
the long story, told short...
Hello Hello! I’m Debby Jewesson.
I'm a super fun Gal, but when it comes to business and life, I'm super serious about them both running smoothly and efficiently, with purpose and meaning.
In 2016, I had a high 6 figure revenue business, on the verge of my first million-dollar year. I was also on the verge of calling it quits, like 80% of small business owners do within the first 5 years.
I had taken the leap into entrepreneurship with a talent, passion, and a whole lotta drive, but I didn’t know how to own and operate a business. I didn’t have any formal training that would prepare me for the reality of owning a business and the toll it would take on my personal life.
When it came to operating a business- I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
Determined not to be a statistic, I hired a Coach and first, turned things around in my personal life.
Then, I made a commitment to educate myself on all the things business operations, and then implemented what made sense for me- the simple and effective stuff. Business got easier, and as a result, life got even better!
I’m happy to say that I’ve been on the other side of struggle since 2018, enjoying a smoother ride in business and life. I sold that big ole business in 2023 and now fill my days doing work that doesn’t feel like work.
Beyond my professional life, you'll find me globe-trotting with my husband, creating hand-crafted ceramics, hunting for vintage treasures and natural gems or courageously attempting to master the French language.
