Want to know more about my work?
I serve the needs of those suffering marital distress through three core approaches: Individual consulting, mediation, and group programs. Before, during, and into post-divorce (or, in the rare instances where possible, reconciliation) months and years such things invariably take.
About Dell Deaton
Ironically, I worked as a wedding photographer to help pay for my education at the University of Michigan (from which I graduated with concentrations in communications, organizational sociology, and psychology in 1987).
I started working as what is generally called an “executive coach” in 1983. And throughout the late 1980s and into the 1990s, was employed professionally in global strategy and industrial negotiations. Over time, I moved into full-time consulting. And my client base increasingly focused on divorce as those who I served came to me with challenges related to life transitions that impacted personal goal-setting, solo parent responsibility balancing, and career strategy. I kept current with this by completing the same formal “Domestic Relations Mediation” training, along with additional domestic violence screening protocals and advanced instruction through the Institute for Continuing Legal Education (ICLE) and Zena Zumeta’s Mediation Training and Consultation Institute.
As a dedicated divorce support professional, then, I’ve served 1000+ individuals over the years as they’ve worked through marital crises.
My life in a blended family
One of the most painful life experiences I’ve had was to become divorced. For many years lived as a single parent, raising a son who was at the beginning of that process less than a year old.
When I remarried after several years, it was to a woman I’d come to know I could rely upon as a true life partner. Our blended family succeeds based on conscious forethought, disciplined implementation, and flexibility with good humor.
After serving as Cubmaster for my son’s Pack, I crossed-over with him into a local Boy Scout Troop — where I’m priviledged to officially serve as its registered Chaplain. Avocationally, I’m an internationally recognized expert on Ian Fleming and James Bond watches.
