Today we’d like to introduce you to Demetra Moore
Hi Demetra, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I’ve always had a passion for personal and professional development. Growing up in Florence, SC, I nurtured a love for learning and helping others. My corporate career provided the perfect platform to hone my skills in training and facilitation. As I took on the responsibility of leading new hire orientations and conducting goal-setting conversations, I discovered a true calling.
Over 17 years in corporate America, I’ve been committed to lifelong learning, completing 2000+ hours of professional development training. I’m proud to hold the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential from the International Coach Federation and am currently pursuing my Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential, the highest level of achievement in coaching, for 2025.
Today, I’m excited to share my knowledge and experience with others. I partner with coach training programs to facilitate training for aspiring coaches. Through my business, Moore Out of Life, I work with private clients, guiding them on their journey of self-discovery and growth.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Leaving the security of corporate America during the pandemic was a leap of faith. Uncertainty loomed large, but I was fortunate to keep my business afloat. The rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship has taught me invaluable lessons. I’ve had to navigate financial challenges, create a backup plan when deals fell through, and, most importantly, recognize the immense value of the work I do every day.
Building a brand from scratch has been a steep learning curve. I’ve had to master the art of marketing and self-promotion. It’s a delicate balance—conveying confidence in my abilities without coming across as boastful. I’ve learned that sharing my expertise and problem-solving skills is not bragging, but rather a commitment to helping others.
As you know, we’re big fans of Moore Out of Life . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
What should we know about Moore Out of Life?
At Moore Out of Life, we focus on helping organizations build resilient, efficient teams by implementing our unique Light Method—a framework that emphasizes inclusive, adaptable leadership to guide teams through challenges and toward sustainable success. The Light Method allows us to empower leaders at all levels, helping them drive meaningful change and create environments where everyone can contribute their best work.
What do you do, and what are you known for?
We specialize in coaching leaders, especially those in the C-suite, who are looking to scale their teams and departments thoughtfully. Known for our hands-on approach, we focus on each element of the Light Method:
Leadership for All: cultivating a leadership mindset across the organization.
Inclusive and Insightful: creating spaces where diverse ideas and insights flourish.
Growth and Development: guiding individuals toward their personal and professional best.
High-Performing Teams: helping teams work effectively and efficiently together.
Triumph Over Challenges: enabling teams to overcome setbacks with resilience and focus.
What sets you apart from others?
Our Light Method framework distinguishes us by centering leadership as an inclusive, evolving process rather than a rigid hierarchy. We believe that every member of the team contributes to the company’s growth, and our work emphasizes cross-departmental collaboration, creative problem-solving, and the crucial balance of “slowing down to speed up.” This approach is especially beneficial in times of reorganization or rapid growth, allowing companies to retain and develop their talent in ways that ultimately save money.
What are you most proud of, brand-wise?
We are most proud of the transformations we help leaders make as they embrace their roles with renewed confidence, insight, and purpose. Watching our clients evolve into leaders who can foster change and inspire their teams to achieve high performance brings our work at Moore Out of Life full circle.
What do you want our readers to know about your brand and services?
Moore Out of Life offers more than executive coaching; we offer a path to organizational resilience and effectiveness through the Light Method. From individual coaching sessions to team workshops, we tailor each service to meet the unique needs of leaders who want to drive innovation, increase team efficiency, and show up with impact. We help leaders retain and develop their teams, making lasting changes that resonate throughout the organization.
We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
The pandemic forced us all to adapt and evolve. I learned firsthand the importance of faith and that the past doesn’t dictate the future. It’s essential to be ready to pivot, to embrace change, and to take calculated risks.
Managing fear is crucial, as is the ability to assess situations and make decisive choices. Negative self-talk can be a powerful hindrance. It’s important to be kind to ourselves and avoid self-criticism. Instead, focus on positive affirmations and surround yourself with uplifting content and people. The power of positive thinking and a supportive network cannot be underestimated. By cultivating a mindset of growth and resilience, I’ve been able to navigate the challenges and emerge stronger.
