Bio
Lynette Fraga, PhD
I have had the opportunity to benefit from Deirdre's exceptional insight and compassionate leadership in her capacity as coach and group facilitator over the last two years. Deirdre demonstrated deep skill in framing, clarifying and moving discussions while providing authentic space for listening and reflection. She possesses a clear talent in identifying both strengths and opportunities for growth while nudging individuals and groups to get creative and curious about their concerns and aspirations. She clearly possesses key knowledge, tools and resources and is effective in deploying them while simultaneously generating and leveraging the wisdom of the group and individuals. She is an asset to any individual, group or organization seeking effective coaching and facilitation.

Deirdre and I just completed a two-year coaching engagement. Throughout the process, Deirdre was creative, supportive and adaptable. She always had a thoughtful plan, but was willing to meet us where we were in the moment. Yet, in the end, she always found a way to bring us back to the learning she wanted us to take with us. Deirdre skillfully used coaching sessions, email and texts to offer feedback, reinforcement and encouragement. Her heart was always present, but never too much out front that workshops and sessions felt artificial. As a talent professional, it is difficult to find a coach who can offer something more than what I have seen or even used before in my own stakeholder coaching sessions. Deirdre brought so much more than I expected. I am truly grateful for her insight!! I strongly recommend Deirdre and will look for opportunities to work with her again.
