What clients are saying

  • "Deanne is an excellent coach and I am very grateful for her ability to hold space for me to help me tackle several major challenges as a leader of a start-up. With her powerful questions and compassionate inquiry, Deanne was able to create a safe space where I could reflect and dig deep for my answers. At the beginning of the program, as CEO of a new company, I needed to get greater clarity on how to scale up in a sustainable manner, while I created a road map that would align my company to the vision. Mission accomplished! I now have a team of seven talented people working in my business part-time. We are fleshing out a strategy and key business lines, I have greater clarity to support my decision-making, and our revenues are growing. I highly recommend Deanne to any executive that wants to take their organization to the next level.”

  • “I was most fortunate to be connected with Deanne as her coaching client. I was not aware when we started how much I needed to process where I was at in my work life, and how very much I would gain from my time with her. Each session she provided deep listening and respectful inquiry, with insightful questions, curiosity, kindness, and validation. I continue to use some of the key phrases and questions from sessions to process, grow and align my choices. Coaching with Deanne has made a significant difference in my life and well-being!”

  • “Deanne was my coach for a number of months. I was in a professional rut for various reasons. What I immediately found with Deanne, was that she is a “natural” when it comes to executive coaching. In sessions with Deanne, I was always amazed at how simply, yet elegantly she would use her process to help me illuminate the core of an issue. Her years of expertise in the “people business” and her genuine care for others was very evident in our sessions. She was able to discern, and reflect back important points, that I sometimes missed. I often left her sessions with some profound understanding of myself and my professional life. I would, without hesitation, recommend Deanne to any Exec or professional who wants to move forward in their career.”

  • “As a new leader and new coach, Deanne has provided me with an invaluable service. She creates an environment in which I feel safe, and truly seen, heard and understood. She asks incredibly insightful and powerful questions that have helped me reshape my patterns of thinking so that I can overcome what is holding me back or causing me stress. I have brought incredibly vague and difficult to express problems to my conversations with Deanne, and she has expertly supported me to leave with clarity, goals, and a sense of empowerment. I whole-heartedly recommend Deanne’s services – you will not regret partnering with her!”

Deanne remains the person I count on when I want an unbiased outside perspective as I think through a career or work question. Deanne's ability to challenge my thinking and assumptions led me to new insights, helped me evaluate my career and relationships to understand how they fit, identify the drivers that align my passion and values with my work. Working with Deanne is a true pleasure, a real safe space and it is great to know that I can continue to rely on her when I need that fresh perspective! I full heartedly recommend Deanne Dillon as a coach, especially for professionals who aspire to ‘step-up’ in their professional career and leadership journey"
