WELCOME TO
 COBALT COACHING

Why COBALT?

COBALT Coaching helps perfectionists of all stripes get unstuck and into action. We offer a safe haven for you to uncover what really matters to you and to bring your best work into the world.

We get underneath the perfectionism and the procrastination, take on the inner critic, and replace self-doubt with confidence and clarity.

We get things done.

It doesn’t have to be so hard.

Too many smart, passionate, and hardworking souls worry that they’re not good enough, or that it’s too late, or that they will fail if they go for what they really want.

As perfectionists, we beat ourselves up relentlessly, believing that if we could just get everything under control, ourselves especially, things would finally get done.

We’ve become overwhelmed by our environments and derailed by life’s daily distractions, living in a virtual community of online networks that promote and feed our addictions.

Our most powerful contributions remain hidden, trapped behind walls of ideals and expectations that are impossible to scale. Again and again, brilliant achievers fail to complete the work that matters most to them, even at the cost of their self-respect or peace of mind.

Upgrade from Control to Leadership

We crave control in order to feel safe. But control over anything, even ourselves, can cost us dearly in a world of constant demands.

The neuroscientific evidence of how our brains light up from triggers like phone alerts is staggering. We are addicted to the quick hit, unable to focus or flow.

It can be intensely frustrating.

We think we need to manage our time. We think we need to be more organized, have better habits, get up earlier. We feel stuck.

But it’s our attention, not our time, that needs to be freed.   

Avoiding failure at all costs, we’ve become unwilling to take action on what really matters to us. Worry fills our minds, stealing precious resources and disconnecting us from our own life force.

We are withering on the vine of our isolation. We are afraid to leap. And we choose safety over change every time.

There is another choice awaiting you.

You are not alone.

COBALT stands for Creativity, Ownership, Balance, Action and Leadership Training. It’s what we teach and what we also bring to the table.

WHERE EXCELLENCE COUNTS.

Through our extensive experience in the most competitive and publicly visible industries in the world, we’ve learned the value of kindred spirits, bonded community, and a place to both belong and stand out.

COBALT Coaching is a no-judgment, no-bullshit zone. You are safe here, and you don’t get to hide. It’s a win-win.

We LOVE to celebrate wins and we have a knack for generating them. We understand the power of momentum, of building a tribe that’s greater than the sum of its parts, and the gift of working with the best in the business.

In the COBALT Coaching community, this is the level at which we play.

OUR VISION​

Our vision is to liberate the genius at play within every perfectionist, cultivating authentic self-expression through congruent action, with clarity and courage.

We aim to end the confusion, overwhelm and loneliness that so many brilliant beings experience, watching the world through their internet portals and aching to make sense of it all.

It’s time to do the work we are meant to do, free from the judgments, fears and constraints that have paralyzed us in the past.

I started researching procrastination and it led me to Deborah. I took a leap of faith and it was the best thing I ever did. Deborah is extremely skilled and sensitive. She listened to my stories, my dreams and goals, and together, we moved through an enlightening and empowering journey. I was able to complete my project and became confident enough to perform it. I can tell you this - I have never been happier nor more fulfilled than now, and I owe my growth to Deborah's coaching. It was an intense and serious financial investment in myself, absolutely no regrets.

I've signed a long-awaited book deal and more than doubled my business income by hitting six figures… even more importantly, I've gained greater confidence and clarity through our work together. She is a strong leader who combines serious smarts with a seriously generous heart. She's not afraid to dig deep and get real, while bringing tremendous caring and compassion to her work. I've learned so much from Deborah and am grateful to her for standing with me every step of the way.

Working in the VIP Mentorship program, I re-discovered my inner strength. Deborah's down-to-earth, real approach to coaching helped me uncover obstacles I did not fully realize were holding me back. She guided me, cried with me, and helped me uncover my buried Spirit hidden beneath many layers of untrue beliefs.  Deborah gave me gifts that are held very dear to my heart. Thank you Maestra!

Deborah Hurwitz oozes the stuff of top-notch coaches. As a newcomer to Orlando, with more ideas than boxes to unpack, I was floundering. The harder I tried to rein in what l wanted, the harder it became. With Deborah's laser focus, change began quickly. Her insights and suggestions were precise and constructive. I’ve since written a picture book, completed the illustrations and submitted it for publication. Additional work has been in gallery shows. A bonus…Deborah has an innate talent to build community, and “wins” for those in it. The value of this is immeasurable.
- Janie B.
From the very first call, I have felt energized and catapulted into a new way of looking at my work and even my life. I had more poetry accepted for publication this year than ever before, I wrote three talks for a retreat weekend and I have a complete book that is being considered by a publisher. I love this program, and those involved, who have been as supportive of me and my passions and goals as they are about theirs. Reporting in at the end of almost every day is one of the highlights of my life.
- Victoria F.
When I enrolled in my first paid program with Deborah, she said, ‘You’ll get what you came for,’ and I did! What I appreciate about working with Deborah and her team: 1. There is community and everyone is cared for. 2. They model implementation of the concepts they teach. 3. In the work there is an acknowledgment and a balance I have not experienced before of both the practical, analytical, no bullshit, get things done frame, and the emotional, ‘what are you experiencing and what does it mean’ frame.
- Diane S.
The information Deborah presents in the ImPACT course is so valuable, it gave me new ways to understand my perfectionism and the exact mechanics of how it was holding me back. Now the extra implementation support and accountability I'm getting in Mission Accomplished® is helping me chop through years' worth of procrastinated logjams. But the real magic of working with Deborah comes in the group and private coaching calls: she has the intellect and insight to drill down to the roots of someone's challenge lightning quick, but also the lived-in empathy and kindness to make a safe passage to walk with her there.
- Matt Z.
This programme was the catalyst for a profound shift in my life that has taken me from the threat of burn-out to thriving. Deborah brings a unique combination of creativity and sensitivity with tough love and sheer passion for life to every conversation.  The tools that I learnt and the friends that I made through this programme will stay with me for life. Thank you Deborah!
- Shelley J.
In just a matter of weeks in Mission Accomplished®, I feel a better sense of well being knowing that I am working towards the life I’ve been dreaming of living. Every day I am able to stay focused and take important steps, with guidance, that shift my life with clarity and commitment. I feel I can build upon the lessons of my past successes and failures, while letting go of my fears. I am grateful to have found the guidance of Deborah, her platform, and her coaches, to help me navigate the unique complexities of life as an entrepreneurial artist.
- Emily T.
Just wanted to let you know the funding I submitted for was approved today. Before Mission Accomplished®, I registered to submit over a dozen times but never finished. It also means vetted support behind developing me as a writer- not just me going after it. This is huge. Thank you for fighting for me! I am so humbled and grateful to you and your radiant brilliance. You are magical.
- Dee K.
Professional and personal growth is easier talked about, read about and presumed than truly experienced. I have been working with Deborah now for almost two years and it has been tough but transformative. She is helping me strategically and loading me up with tactics to get things done. I can't recommend her enough.
- Geetha T.
I have gained so much in working with Deborah, in being authentic and accountable to myself. I have learned to listen to my heart, to embrace my creativity and not to be afraid of my darkness… to actually see my darkness as strength and comfort, something I can navigate if I have a map and the right equipment. It has made me more energetic and helped me do tasks I find difficult. This understanding of integrity, the ability to really be productive despite negative self talk, and all the practical strategies Deborah has taught me…it is revolutionary!
- Taniya H.
I had a belief that I was limited in what I could get up to, given my circumstances. It was a pretty major ah-ha that I could get so much done in little bursts! Investing in myself this way — in a nurturing structure in which to create — was critical. If I needed my shoulder to get better, I would see a physical therapist, even if insurance didn’t pay for it. So why would I not pay to fix my life? AND I have a really viable rewrite of my book. SO AWESOME!!
- Nancy B.
I developed invaluable clarity on my goals from the Mission Accomplished® coaching platform. All the coaches on the team are different, but the accountability and support they offer helped me immeasurably. No more backsliding! I learned to shut the back door on decisions already made instead of floundering, I relearned my value as a mom, wife, and human, and that my time is precious. I found that getting unstuck was the most difficult and rewarding work I could do. I now feel like I’m inside a slingshot, ready to fly.
- Nicoletta S.
Deborah helps you get through the “BS” of the perfectionist mind to accomplish your inner goals. I’m a perfectionist to my core and Deborah’s ImPACT Course taught me to implement new habits to create the life I want. I decided to continue with Mission Accomplished®, as I’m aware of how Deborah can continue to help unlock the “stuck gremlin” and to take action onto my next bigger goals! 
- Kimberly B.
Deborah supported me designing and hosting my first ever online summit called Have Courage. From the moment that I first engaged with Deborah following one of her summits, through to meeting her in-person and working with her, Deborah coached with infectious energy, humility and desire to help me succeed. She operates with a high degree of integrity and has an eye for detail that was of huge value to me as I embarked on this inaugural project. I would not hesitate to recommend Deborah.
