User:Deirdre Pickerell

Deirdre Pickerell, PhD, CHRP, GCDF I have over 22 years experience as an educator, manager, and career management professional. I have made significant differences within the field of career development – locally, nationally, and internationally – through innovative program design, leading-edge education for career practitioners, inspiring facilitation and career coaching, and selfless leadership and mentoring throughout the sector.

My day to day work includes teaching, consulting, program development, facilitating seminars and workshops, and assessing/coaching private clients. In each of these areas, I try to constantly “push the envelope” in the field – seeing needs, championing change, measuring outcomes, evaluating progress, and tirelessly working to ensure that my clients’ and colleagues expectations are constantly exceeded. With a background in both career development and human resources management, I am working to create a stronger bridge between the career management and HR sectors. I am passionate about fully integrating career management principles within an organization’s HR strategy.
