Debbie Carr is the Director of Coyote Management International Speakers Bureau and a professional accredited recruitment consultant.
In 1998, Debbie lost her beloved brother, Gary, to suicide. This change impacted her life greatly, and soon after she was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Debbie believes the emotional impact of Gary's death contributed to her being diagnosed with the disease.
Debbie speaks frankly about her brother's death. What led him to it, his depression, the day he died but most importantly, the devastation and impact it has on those left behind. She demonstates how she coped with this devastating change and the consequential challenges in her life.
She has just finished her first book, Seemingly Sane which contains the very personal and emotional journal she kept after her brother Gary died. She decided to publish the journal in hope that it may save others from taking their own life and inspire them to reach their full potential with her stories. The book also contains some very personal and bizarre stories of her life. "People think these things only happen to other people, but they don't, they can happen to anyone and you can either sink or swim. Are you going to drown or are you going to swim?" she asks.
The second part of her inspirational keynote Debbie talks about why she started the speakers bureau, her struggles with it and how with passion, determination and, most importantly, by believing in yourself, you can achieve anything.
Debbie left school at the age of 16 without any formal qualifications. She feels blessed to have found herself in the motivational industry, where she has been mentored and inspired by many others.
Debbie believes your thoughts create your reality, and teaches some techniques that can be applied immediately to improve lives. She has proven this works many times herself, including keeping well despite the Crohn's Disease diagnosis. However, these principals work only in focusing on your goals - don't expect to win the lottery by magic!

I had the privilege to hear Debbie Carr give a thirty minute talk on the loss of her brother, Gary, to suicide, at the recent 'Women and Depression' Conference held in Sydney. Debbie gave a very moving, eloquent and insightful speech about the lead up to her brother's death and the aftermath of his suicide in regards to the effect it had on his immediate family, in particular Debbie. Debbie spoke bravely from the heart which had a significant impact on my understanding of what family members are left to deal with after the death of a loved one in this way. Even though I have worked for years in the mental health arena as a registered nurse and have acquired a fair degree of knowledge about suicide, this falls way short of gaining first hand knowledge from those who have been left to deal with the grief of this devastating event. I applaud Debbie for her courage and spirit to share with us the loss of her beloved brother, Gary, and commend her for her desire to share this experience with others so they can better understand the impact of suicide, which will hopefully assist in both its' prevention and the healing process should it occur.
