Danae Doran-Mulvey

Associate Director, CMC Regulatory at Lilly

"I met Deb during a pivotal time in my career, and I am beyond grateful to call her my professional coach.  From our very first session, Deb took the time to truly understand my core values, professional goals and challenges, and my strengths and weaknesses. Deb’s approach is both strategic and empathetic, she consistently helps me clarify my direction and helps me build the confidence to pursue it.

Deb was key in helping me perfect my resume, prepare for interviews, and navigate a career transition to a new company. I could not have done it without her.  I left every session with strong insights, thoughtful guidance, and attainable actions. Additionally, Deb has taught me grounding and meditation tools which I consistently use on a regular basis and have even taught my children. 

Thanks to Deb, I gained clarity in my career path and successfully secured a new role with a great company that aligns with my values and ambitions. If you’re looking for a wonderful coach who is highly passionate about helping others achieve their goals, exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced, supportive, and truly invested in your success, look no further than Deborah McCloskey.  She IS the BEST."

Integration Lead at UCB

"Over the past five months, working with Deb has been an incredibly meaningful and transformative experience for me. We are both methodical by nature, so her thoughtful, structured approach to helping me navigate life challenges and immediate career transitions has been a wonderful match for me at a time I needed her most.

Deb has a remarkable ability to listen deeply, ask insightful questions, and create a supportive space for reflection and growth.  She gave me practical tools and encouragement, and she helped me to stay focused and strategic as I navigated a brief period of professional uncertainty and change. This allowed me to evaluate my options and determine the best path forward given both my professional and personal goals.  Her integration of mindfulness practices has added another valuable dimension, helping me stay grounded and present during stressful periods at work.

I’m incredibly grateful for Deb’s perspective and guidance. She listens carefully, takes the time to think things through, and then offers practical tools and strategies that I can apply in my everyday life. Her caring nature and grounded approach has made a meaningful difference in my life. I would highly recommend her to anyone feeling stuck, uncertain, or ready to take the next step in their career."

Bri Vieira

VP, Brand Strategy at BGB Group

"Deb was incredible to work with as I navigated a career transition from agency-side to client-side. She helped me with every aspect of the process, from reworking my resume and preparing for traditional interviews to navigating a unique AI-driven assessment, salary negotiations, in-person interviews, and follow-up communication and networking.
What made Deb stand out was how patient, encouraging, and how present and invested she was throughout the process. There were moments when I doubted myself, and she consistently helped me recognize my own value without losing sight of who I was in the process. She pushed me to put my best foot forward while making sure I didn't feel like I had to abandon myself or become someone I wasn't to succeed. That meant a lot to me.
After my interviews, I received rave reviews, and I came away feeling significantly more confident in my interviewing skills and how I present myself professionally. That confidence has carried forward into my next career move, where I landed a great new role. Deb gave me both the practical tools and the confidence to navigate the process more effectively, and I'm incredibly grateful for her guidance. I would recommend her to anyone navigating a career transition or looking to take the next step in their career."
