“I have known Deanna Haywood in a professional capacity for over 20 years. Deanna has first hand experience of delivering a Human Resources service in a corporate environment.
Deanna is well equipped to operate in a development role, taking on projects in change management, coaching, recruitment and training. Her professional background has provided her with competence in situations which demand interpersonal sensitivity. She would be a reliable counsellor, with in depth experience of assessment and performance management”.
I have known Deanna Haywood for over 12 years. She has a wonderful combination of personal attributes. She’s kind, warm, empathic and highly intelligent.
I have seen first hand how she has pursued her own personal development with courage and incredible honesty and during that time she was not afraid to look at her own demons and do what it takes to manage and transcend them.
In everything Deanna does she is conscientious and meticulous. She always gives the best of herself in her dealings with others and has proven to be very creative and resourceful in the process. For all these reasons, there is no doubt in my mind that she is an exceptional coach.
In addition, Deanna is a very skilled listener. She pays attention in such a way that the other person feels valued and heard. And it’s because she listens so well, that she is able to step into their world and be of best help to them.
And so I unreservedly commend Deanna and Connect Coaching to anyone looking for a professional who will treat them with respect and will be passionate in helping them to find their own solutions… she is a very safe pair of hands.
“I have known and worked with Deanna over some 30 years and thus seen her in a number of roles.
These roles have included ones where she has been required to help people develop themselves. She quickly establishes a good rapport with a wide range of people and is able to analyse their needs by good listening skills, backed up by clear thinking. She has developed a reputation for being diplomatic, trusted implicitly, and is well respected by her colleagues.
She has always ensured that she is properly trained and qualified for her various activities and coaching is no exception, where she continues to enhance her skills.
Her present role of coaching would seem to be one that she is well suited to and I would have no hesitation in recommending her”.
“Deanna and I have been friends for more than twenty-five years and there is one particular aspect of her character I have always valued and that is that she is a very good listener. She listens with care and her responses are both sensitive and positive. Recently, I have appreciated Deanna’s compassionate support as I faced a close family bereavement.
Deanna has a busy family life and maintains many friendships; she also finds time to provide active support to a wide range of worthy causes. In recent times Deanna has undertaken further professional training in order to prepare herself fully.
I have always found Deanna to be genuinely interested in people; she enjoys conversation and has a great sense of humour. When I have sought advice, her suggestions have been thoughtful, honest and yet creative. I believe Deanna to be a keen problem-solver and strongly motivated to help others to achieve understanding of their problems”.
