Expert Home Stager and Home Staging Trainer
- About me
Debra Gould, aka The Staging Diva, is President of Six Elements Inc., an internationally recognized home staging company, launched in 2002. Inspired by many requests from others wanting to start similar businesses, Debra created the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training program, launched in January of 2005.
Since that time, she has grown a following of over 20,000 loyal newsletter subscribers, created numerous information products and written three sought after Home Staging Guides.
There are over 1000 Staging Diva Graduates in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa who have learned how to start their own businesses from Debra. All share a natural talent for decorating and interest in real estate, but didn't know how to really make a living in their own home staging business before learning her secrets.
Training is delivered through a home study kit and downloadable recordings, eliminating the need to travel and allowing her to build a truly international following without delegating training to others with less experience.
Believing life is the adventure you make it, Debra is a master at personal re-invention and transformation.
Despite her creative streak she pursued an MBA in Marketing and began her career in large corporations before moving to advertising. In 1989 she launched one of the first integrated marketing firms. Wanting a more creative life, Debra gave up her career and moved west in 1999 to become an artist. She launched the Debra Gould Home Collection, landing a magazine cover story within a year, and a feature in the book Floor Cloth Magic, followed by her first of several HGTV appearances.
Buying decorating and selling six of her own homes in four years lead to an interest in home staging which she turned into a new career with the launch of sixelements.com in 2002. Since that time she has staged hundreds of homes in addition to training her students.
Debra Gould's expertise is frequently sought out by the media.
In addition to HGTV, she has also appeared on: CityTV, GlobalTV, CBC , Toronto 1; and on many US and Canadian radio stations. Her work has been featured in: CNNMoney, The Wall Street Journal, Woman's Day, Reader's Digest, MoneySense, Entrepreneur, House and Home, Home & Decor, Style at Home, Centre of the City, USAA Magazine, FabJob Guide to Become a Home Stager, Home Style, Homes, This Old House, Home Business Magazine, Globe & Mail, National Post, Toronto Star and others.
Debra's mission is to inspire and empower others to use their natural talents to earn a living. She followed her dreams and wants to teach others to be able to do the same.
