Working with Deirdra, the first thing you will notice is her infectious positive energy. She also has a knack for innately knowing when to speed up or slow down her communication style to match her audience. Instantly putting everyone at ease. I relied on Deirdra's ability to finesse messaging to our diverse client audience many times.
A consummate project manager and event planner, you can count on her to anticipate every last detail, plan it out and communicate to every team member what their part on the journey entails.
As a manager, Deirdra is able to find the line between being sincerely empathetic to the challenges of employees, while also keeping in mind what's best for the company with respect to projects, HR and budgetary requirements.
