"I worked with Deirdre making the transition into setting up my own company and have found her to be extremely helpful and supportive. She is highly intelligent and smart, has great insight and experience and is able to be empathetic yet challenging.
We looked at my skills, values and my desire to do something stimulating yet worthwhile but which would play to my entrepreneurial side. With Deirdre’s help and strong network contacts, I set up my own company authenticwineandfood.com delivering quality wine and food direct to client’s homes and the business is growing and developing. I can honestly say I have never been so challenged or happy (or tired!)"

"I had worked in my previous role for 13 years when I was presented with an option to leave and find something new.I welcomed this exciting opportunity, however it was also coupled with uncertainty. You think you know what your strengths are and what you wish to achieve but as time moves on sometimes self doubt can creep in. Deirdre eliminated this for me.
Through individual consultations we worked on my CV and interview technique to ensure optimum performance, and reviewed the types of role most suitable to my career progression. My strengths were confirmed and encouraged, and through tough feedback I worked on my development areas. I also attended the Networking Forums that Deirdre ran whilst at DBM. These were truly invaluable to help understand the power of networking.
I found Deirdre to be very knowledgeable and an honest mentor and her support greatly assisted in me finding my current fantastic job. So if anyone reading this needs some encouragement and support to make that next step, then speak to Deirdre . What are you waiting for?"

"When I was seeking to make the transition out of strategy consulting at Booz Allen, I sought the skills and experience of Deirdre who is renowned for her challenging interview style. After some practice interviews, we quickly identified some areas for improvement and I decided to work with Deirdre on a more in depth basis.
The process has been a journey of discovery. It has meant considerable work outside of sessions to unlearn inbuilt constraints and relearn a different approach. This work has changed my outlook on my life, family and career.
I can highly recommend Deirdre’s challenging approach to help identify personal blind spots and for interview preparation practice"
