When I was getting trained as an executive coach at Georgetown, I was lucky to get offered a mentor-coach. We could actually provide some information regarding the type of characteristics we expected our mentor to have, so I went on and indulged ! I said I would love a mentor who had travelled, who knows what it means to balance work and personal life, who had also transitioned from jobs corporate to coaching and entrepreneurism. I have to believe that the matching coordinator was the best you could ever have, as I was privileged to be matched with Deiadre as my mentor coach.

There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for Deiadre’s support. Deiadre is a wonderful coach, she is truly empathetic, a great listener, who is truly able to bring the best out of you because she trusts her clients capacity to find their own solutions. With her I felt supported, I felt challenged, I felt empowered and I had the incentives and tools to continue progressing in my practice. Deiadre also brings a fascinating background to her work, both professionally and personally. Being the mother of three, having had a very successful professional career, having relocated many times, she is a very wise, emotionally balanced and spiritual person. I felt inspired by her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a coach or a mentor coach.
