Our Founder, Debra Chantry, talks about why she set up The Common & what it offers Entrepreneurs & Business Owners…

From Business Coaching to support to networking & having fun!

Debra’s origins were in elite business & mind-set coaching. After 7 years at The Icehouse (ranked by Forbes in the top 10 Business Incubators globally) & 8 years of running Ventell, with a group of coaches working with business owners, she needed a more meaningful way to help entrepreneurs & a system to in fact help 10,000 entrepreneurs every year, which is her stated objective.
