Deiadre is an outstanding coach. She has an extraordinary ability to guide executive level thinking about core management functions that quite literally determine the success or failure of small non-profit companies.

She is highly professional and an absolute delight to work with.

Inspiring! As the co-founder and co-President of the ITL Network, Deiadre inspired me and our fellow board members to launch the ITL Network with an ambitious vision and flawless execution. With her enthusiasm, we raised 40% more in launch funds than we hoped, enabling us deliver a highly successful, inaugural conference in 2019. I especially appreciate Deiadre’s positivity, bold vision, and co-creative energy. Her leadership definitely brought out my best.
In my role as the Vice President of Human Resources for a 650 million dollar multi national pipeline services company, I needed to find a leadership coach for our COO who was on track to ascend to the CEO position in two years. Deiadre was the perfect fit for the assignment. Her education and training as an engineer who understands process thinking, her results orientation, her warmth, affinity for people and coaching skills all combine to make her uniquely qualified to coach leaders of all types.
