Hi! I'm Deanna. Leadership coach. Enneagram & DISC consultant and team communication coach.

As a former teacher and military spouse, I have always been focused on understanding people, finding the best in them, and communicating effectively. I have prioritized my own learning in an effort to understand and serve others.

You could say I'm a perpetual student. My motto is "if you stop getting better, you stop being good." I also have a knack for looking at a complex situation and figuring out what the root issues are.

I believe that in order to grow, we must be open to different ideas, opinions, and ways of doing things. This doesn't mean you have to change who you are, but there is power in acknowledging that not everyone has the same view as you. When we can meet others where they are, we increase our capacity to build trust and lead them.

I've learned along the way that leadership isn't positional, and there is nothing stronger than showing empathy in the workplace. I believe that when you understand yourself and others, you can overcome any barrier to communication. You do not need a position to lead. You don't need permission to lead. All you need is a heart of service and a desire to look around and ask, "How can I best be of service to others?"

Now, I've taken everything I've learned from three decades of educational leadership, entrepreneurship, and lifelong learning and turned it into a framework to help you build communication, trust, and integrity in your organization.
