welcome to myob! consulting
With more than 30 years combined experience as a fund
raising professional, marketing director, certified meeting facilitator, accountability
coach, executive director, event coordinator and business trainer, I’m ready to
take on almost any business challenge…and believe me I have!
I don’t know many people who can say they started working when they were 13, but I did. As a young girl I began my business immersion as an assistant to my dance teacher “Miss Gloria”. I recorded the payments from parents, and booked the classes. I even did the warm up for the beginner classes…my business career was launched.
As a trainer in the Management Services Division at The Travelers Insurance Companies I had the opportunity to travel the eastern seaboard to help people “work smarter, not harder” through time and change management systems.
Start-up doesn’t scare me, in fact, I revel in the opportunity to innovate and take calculated risks. As a co-founder of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine & Health Sciences, there were no guarantees, but with perseverance and the belief that nothing could stop us we created an independent, accredited medical college. Re-creating the Arizona Naturopathic Medical Association was another milestone in my career, which resulted in consistent and more effective representation for our naturopathic physicians.
My multi-cultural personal experiences have provided me with a sensitivity and awareness to function comfortably in widely diverse situations, having lived and worked overseas for almost 10 years. Those years as a business professional taught me that there are many ways to achieve outcomes – it’s valuable to think out of the box!
I’ve worked for Valley of the Sun United Way, Manchester & The Mountains Regional Chamber of Commerce, Fanning Personnel, Scottsdale Prevention Institute, The Hartford Courant Newspapers, The American Consulate in Cameroon, Goodwill Industries, and numerous other non-profits where I am known for my innovative ideas, approaches, and “get it done” solutions.
I created Mind Your OWN Business! Consulting to help facilitate clients’ “Visions Into Action,” so they can achieve outstanding results. It’s my honor and privilege to work with entrepreneurs, and people in organizations who are committed to change!
All the very best,
Deborah Mainville-Knight
