About Deirdre

Deirdre Maloney, President

Deirdre Maloney helps organizations exceed their goals, and helps their leaders sleep better at night. She does it through her work as a published author, national speaker, and proud president of Momentum LLC.

Through services like customized trainings and facilitated group discussions, Deirdre helps any company, non-profit or association get motivated and get moving. Deirdre gained much of her experience while serving as the executive director of a multi-million dollar organization in Denver, as well as by sitting on numerous boards/committees and running her own company. As a result, she brings a unique, empathetic understanding of the challenges facing any workplace, and knows what it takes to find true success.

Deirdre has used her brand of “mild audacity” to speak on leadership and communication around the country, presenting keynotes and workshops for organizations like the National Association of Women Business Owners, Vistage International, and the American Marketing Association.

Her first book, the award-winning The Mission Myth, was released in 2011. Her powerful mini-book, Tough Truths, came out in October 2012. Her popular blog on all things leadership is a hit with anyone who likes a direct, authentic style with their morning coffee, and is featured regularly in the Huffington Post.

In addition to her work through Momentum, Deirdre’s experience includes teaching marketing for the University of San Diego, and serving as a broadcast news producer at a variety of affiliate stations. Deirdre is a member of the San Diego Rotary.
