Donna has been assisting Australian businesses for nearly 30 years and considered an industry expert. She has worked in top legal and accounting firms, run an Employment Agency for a number of years as well as operating my own successful business, Stone Consulting, for over 15 years which expanded to become a National business in five locations. She has been coaching small businesses for a decade and now coaches other coaches through her Coach the Coach ™ program.
Additionally, Donna has won dozens of Business Awards. She has run a number of networking groups and held the positions of Ambassador, Group Leader, Education Officer & Networking Coach. She has five published books and has co-written in a sixth. Needless to say, she is a prolific writer (both printed magazines and online) writing regularly for My Business Magazine and Working Women Magazine, to name a few. As a sought-after speaker, she engages with audiences to leave them with the knowledge, tools and motivation to succeed in their own business or career.
Whilst Donna does have formal qualifications in Accounting and Business, it’s the years and years of real-world experience that has made her into the industry expert she is today. Her belief is in hard work, self-improvement and always remaining positive.
When Donna works with a client, she is passionate about their business and their own achievements. She has helped businesses get started, grow, recover, rediscover, make money, get busy, expand and even go global. Her clients are delighted with her services, but don’t just take her word for it – check out the testimonials below.
Donna is also active in her community, working with Redland City Chamber of Commerce, Crime Stoppers Queensland and on the Board of the Redland Foundation.
In addition to all the above, she also engages in her other passion – visual arts. Needless to say, she is a master of time management.
