For years I let my work do the talking.

Turns out it’s very shy.

hi, i’m dee.

I help brilliant, humble people get the promotion, pay and recognition their work deserves.

I'm Irish, I live in the UAE, and I've spent over 30 years in learning and leadership. I've written six books. And for a while, I was exactly the person I now help: great at the job, head down, waiting for someone to notice.

Not your average CAREER ADVICE

A woman with curly red hair wearing a cream-colored suit and heels, sitting on a stool with purple abstract shapes in the background.

Why listen to me?

I've spent three decades inside organisations, designing how people learn, lead and get on. I've sat in the rooms where careers get discussed. I know what gets people picked, and it's rarely the thing they've been working hardest on.

So I don't do "speak up more" and "build your brand". I do honest, specific and kind. Mostly kind.

Good advice isn’t

the whole story.

Work hard. Speak up. Be visible. You've heard it all, and you've probably done it all.

The missing bit is the order: what to do first, with whom, and what to say. That's what the Reality Check shows you, and what the Blueprint turns into a 90-day plan.

  • Black and white portrait of a smiling man wearing glasses, in a dark suit jacket and collared shirt, with an orange circular background.

    “There are few people in this world that I would rather work with than Dee. Not only is she an excellent executive in the traditional sense - she is a wonderful human being who also understands the nuances of human behavior in business. She gets business - and she gets people. And is a great person herself.”

    PAUL GREENBERG, AUTHOR OF CRM AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT

  • Black and white portrait of a middle-aged man with short, wavy hair and a beard, wearing a dress shirt and tie, against a purple circular background.

    "Dee has been our trainer of choice for years. She designs exceptional learning experiences that my team always respond enthusiastically to. An absolute pro at everything she does."

    STEVE WATKINS, CEO - GREATER SOUTH EAST ASIA, ALLIANZ PARTNERS

final note

You’ve done the work. Let’s get it noticed.

Start with the free Reality Check. It takes about 12 minutes, it's slightly uncomfortable in a good way, and you'll finish knowing your one next move. Or come and find me live on 14 November. Bring a coffee. I'll bring the honesty.
