Deirdre Pickerell, MEd, MA, CHRP, GCDF-i
Senior Consultant
  
Deirdre Pickerell has over 18 years experience as an career development specialist, educator, manager, and human resource professional. She has 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.
Deirdre's day to day work includes teaching, program development, facilitating seminars and workshops, and assessing/coaching private clients. In each of these areas, Deirdre "pushes the envelope" in the field - seeing needs, championing change, measuring outcomes, evaluating progress, and tirelessly working to ensure that her clients' and colleagues expectations are constantly exceeded. She is currently completing her PhD in Organizational Systems where her research interest is the impact of career management on employee engagement.
With a background in both career development and human resources management, Deirdre is working to create a stronger bridge between the career management and HR sectors. She is passionate about fully integrating career management principles within an organization's HR strategy. Effective recruitment, retention, and talent management are all linked to the same core principle - the importance of a good career fit . . . getting the right people into the right jobs at the right time.
In recognition of her work, Deirdre was recently honoured with a 2006 Award of Excellence; presented by the BC Human Resources Management Association.
Deirdre inspires through her leadership but also through her respect - as one student said, "You've never made me feel silly for asking questions and you've responded as though you have discerned wisdom in our comments that we weren't even aware of..."
