Debbie Collard

We build brands for coaches and consultants whose authority comes from decades of leading at a high level, and whose clients expect a polished, credible first impression. Debbie's brand had to speak to executives and managers who have just stepped into a new role, inherited greater responsibility, or are leading an organization through change, and to leaders planning a graceful exit from corporate life. This project gave her a brand and a site that carry her credentials and her four-step coaching process with clarity.

Debbie Collard has spent her career on leadership and performance. She served in director roles across business excellence, strategy, and program management, held a seat on the National Baldrige Foundation board for fifteen years, and co-wrote a book on building a world-class organization. When she turned to coaching, she had a depth of experience that most executives would want beside them, and a practice that needed a brand to say so.

The challenge was carrying all of that into something a busy leader could take in quickly. A new vice president or a first-time manager looking for a coach does not read a long résumé. They look for a sign that this person has been where they are going and knows how to help them get there.

We started with her words and her process. DesignGood gave the practice its positioning, Lead with purpose. Advance with excellence, wrote the copy around her Leader Profile and four-step framework, and designed a logo, visual identity, and website that look as composed as she is. Each page was written so a leader could move from who Debbie is, to how the process works, to an invitation to schedule a complimentary consultation, without having to search for the next step.

Today Debbie has a site that shows who she works with, how coaching with her unfolds, and why her background matters, with a clear invitation to a complimentary consultation. The brand now carries the excellence she has spent a career building, in her own voice.
