Deanna Maio loves teaching service business owners how to significantly grow their business while still having time to live a great life. She started coaching in 2005 to help busy service providers get the information, support, and accountability they needed to deal with the sometimes overwhelming prospect of running and growing their business.

Prior to starting her own business, Deanna spent over 10 years as a manager, instructional designer and workshop facilitator. She’s supported leaders and managers inside the tiniest dot com startups to her role as Director of Learning and Development for a subsidiary of Merrill Lynch. She has experience in the hospitality, health care, information technology, human resources, and financial services industries. An unconditionally supportive coach and sought-after speaker and facilitator, Deanna is known for her passion and dedication to helping her clients create better results faster and easier than ever before.

Deanna is a creator of the Get Free Help With Interns System, End Marketing Overwhelm Forever, and the HANDS Free Team Formula and is a co-author in the recently published book, GPS for Success:Goals and Proven Strategies with Steven Covey and Dr. John Gray. When she’s not supporting entrepreneurs and business owners, she’s busy singing with her own 1950s lounge trio, Deanna & the Downbeats.

"I worked with C&GR Associate Coach, Deanna Maio, for 6 months and it was great.  I essentially started from near nothing and ended up with 9 one-on-one clients generating about $5000 per month in revenue. Plus my pipeline is growing and my comfort level with the marketing and sales side of the business is amazing now. Deanna was perfect for me in her approach, knowledge and care."

Success Stories

  • “During the Group Coaching Success program I started a year long coaching group for former clients. I also created 2 other group programs and a weekend workshop that will happen in the next few months. Thank you Michelle for this inspiring program and to all the other participants for their helpful feedback.”

  • “Michelle, I continue to benefit from the training I received from C&GR – my company made a six-figure profit last year, and is on target to multiply those results again this year!”

  • “Before getting the Coach & Grow R.I.C.H. system I was not even coaching anyone but after I met Michelle at workshop in San Diego I decided to buy it and try it out. The program has a lot of great material that helped me wrap my head around what I was doing and get clearer on my goals. I’m really looking forward to going through the course again and use the material more since I’m really trying to launch my business this year. Michelle’s program helped me to take the first big step – starting my coaching business! I already developed my first website and had the confidence to do it. Now I’m working on starting a group. After going through the program I gained confidence that I can actually do this simply by seeing that so many other people at different levels are currently doing it as well. In the past I was getting stuck at times because I always want to do everything perfectly but now I know that it was holding me back! This is definitely my year!”
