You strive to be a magnet for top talent as an employer of choice, but you need the resources, leadership and tools to help get you there and stay there. As expert coaches in the diversity and equity space, we customize your wish list into practical steps and actionable programs so you aren’t catching up, but leading the way.
That’s why we’re here.
Everyone needs a better future than this.
We help companies advance gender equity in the workplace with programs that blend EDI strategy, education and coaching to support working mothers, parents and leaders.
Women who become mothers at some point in their career.
People who have left a job because their manager wasn’t empathetic to their personal life.
Companies in the UK, US, and Canada with 50% or more female executives and directors showed greater long-term growth.
For decades, working mothers have faced parental bias, overt judgment, societal pressure and a flashing off-ramp most are forced to take when they enter into motherhood. Not anymore.
Beyond the policies and systems, corporate culture needs a refresh. For mothers to lead at work, Dads need to feel like they can lead at home.
This is a two-way street, a partnership between individuals and companies, so that all mothers have a mutually-built on-ramp between their roles. This is about everyone getting on-board to support mothers in a collective context, long-term.
A customized company offering to build empathetic skills, learn tools to champion equity so parents can be seen, included and valued through whole-person leadership practices.
A coaching container for the modern mother who wants to be fully supported in returning to work understanding their shifting roles, leveraging their leadership and building a stable path forward.
A 6-week program for parents at any stage who want to be supported as they redefine family and career success, while building a sustainable path forward.
Work-life balance is a myth. Trying to fulfill it can lead to overwhelm and burn out. In this workshop, participants will learn how to calibrate work-life by tapping into their values.

EXPERT SUPPORT
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
PROVEN MODALITIES
Our Workshops focus on the three key components every leading company needs to have their eye on, make improvements in and start changing to see the best from everyone.
THE LANDSCAPE
We’ll explore parental unconscious bias and The Motherhood Identity ShiftTM and how they both implicitly and explicitly impact all parents, both inside and outside the workplace.
TOOLS AND TACTICS
The leaders of the future are highly empathetic and set an example of how the whole-person approach to leading companies, teams and individuals influences mothers, families and communities.
APPLYING LEARNING
Using three practical tools, we’ll set the foundation for both the landscape and leadership shifts needed in every organization.
We support mothers through their complete parental journey, from a strong foundation of self during pregnancy to the tender newborn session and onto an intentional and successful return to work.
The Debut Co. is proud to serve some of Canada’s largest publicly traded companies as they fulfill their equity, diversity and inclusion goals.
We ensure the highest level of privacy, security and confidentiality in our programs. Every measure has been set in place to safeguard and protect all client information on a secure platform. For more, please refer to our full Privacy Policy in detail here.
Our workshops and coaching are tailored to slide right alongside what you’re already doing. We expand upon what exists to create more engagement, generate more leadership skills, build more confidence and inspire more connection between mothers and employers. We also solve common perk pitfalls (more time off is great, but it’s not fixing the problem) with tools proven to work. By nature of being an independent third party, we also give employees a safe space to be vulnerable and, oftentimes, be more open about what they’re going through than they otherwise might have been. This is hugely beneficial to you to create change your employees actually need. It cuts out the inefficient guesswork and gives you a leg up to move in a better direction faster.
We created a numbers cap for our in-person sessions because of the nature of the content. Empathetic leadership requires vulnerability, so greater numbers lessens the chance that people will share openly and honestly. We also facilitate smaller breakout groups throughout the workshops, so having more groups isn’t conducive to a timely and impactful experience.
Our workshops and coaching are created to complement your company resourcing. We’ve geared our offerings towards a high or low touch based on what you need and what your goals are. Our support encompasses both internal and external communications alongside KPI development and reporting.
We don’t bring in anything boilerplate. Our workshops and coaching are tailored to you and for your employees so that your goals and impact are at the forefront of change while laddering up to the vision of the company and its future. Our in-house KPI and reporting is a mandatory and significant component to any package we offer our clients.
An investment in working mothers isn’t a risky investment. It’s risky not to, and we know what happens when companies don’t. While this is a turn-key solution guaranteed to improve your bottom line now and in the future, it’s about more than time spent or money paid. This is about making a difference to moms struggling in your workplace. Our workshops and coaching are the solution to a long-term change that underpins everything from equity to diversity, profit to employability now and in the future. To be a leader is to inherently take on risk, and we believe moms are worth the investment a hundred times over.

At the end of the day, we exist to enrich culture and bring out the best in what companies are capable of through every area of our work.
We understand that training in new methodologies and changing company culture isn’t an overnight job. It can be hard to squeeze in, but the initial commitment exponentially saves everyone’s time and energy in the future. The People Leader workshops are designed as integrated learning tools that apply to real life workplace scenarios to help ease communication and create trust contributing to your workplace culture and your bottom line.
