Deirdre works with esteemed platforms such as Mentor Her, Women Rising and Coaches Rising.
Mentor Her is a worldwide platform, connecting female Mentors and Mentees around the world to excel careers, launch and grow businesses, help mothers find their balance and help all women feel better about who they are and where they're going.
Over the past few years, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Katie Doyle, the Founder of Mentor Her. Initially, I joined as a Mentor on the platform, offering guidance and support to aspiring professionals. I've then served as a subject matter expert for their Corporate Programs, leveraging my expertise to enhance the learning and development initiatives aimed at empowering women in the corporate world.
Currently participating in The Neuroscience of Change
Understanding neuroscience revolutionises the coaching process, offering a deeper level of insight and impact. Coaching has the potential to bring about profound transformations in individuals.
There are those sessions when you see a client’s life change before your eyes. As they break through longstanding barriers, you witness glimpses of their authentic power emerging. They tap into their own wisdom, revealing truths that were previously hidden from them.
In 2022, I had the honour of being selected as one of the inaugural ten coaches worldwide to undergo the Women Rising Journey. This experience equipped me with a comprehensive coaching curriculum and invaluable tools. I am now empowered to guide the women I work with towards making positive changes in their careers, fostering leadership growth, and achieving success in their businesses.
The Women Rising programme is evidence-based in positive psychology and neuroscience, the latest in workforce and gender research, and Rising Journey is unique, tested and powerful at activating real and sustainable change.
