Meet the Founder
FOUNDER · COACH · MATCHMAKER
Deidre Akaloo
I created The Social Card because I believe meaningful relationships deserve more intention, understanding and care.
With over 20 years of experience in coaching, organisational development and human behaviour, my work has centred on helping people better understand themselves, navigate change and build stronger relationships.
Through The Social Card, I bring this experience into a more personal space, combining thoughtful introductions, self-discovery and meaningful connection.
My belief is simple: When we understand ourselves better, we create space for healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
My Philosophy
Meaningful connection requires more than chemistry. It grows through self-awareness, emotional understanding, shared values and a willingness to engage with others intentionally.
My Background and Approach
My approach draws on more than two decades of experience in coaching, organisational development and people development, supported by continued learning in relationship dynamics, communication and human behaviour.
I combine professional insight with a personal, thoughtful approach to helping people form meaningful connections.
