Testimonials from past & present Coaching clients
Mark Prout, Associate Director (Financial Services sector)“A highly differentiated coaching experience”
Áine thrives at tackling complex topics with a mixture of candour & curiosity. She revels in unpicking your own thoughts to uncover root values and identify paths forward. All with a healthy sprinkle of good nature & humour. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Áine to anyone who is looking for a rewarding and highly differentiated coaching experience.
Conor McDonald, Senior Director &
Biologics Network Strategy Lead, Zoetis“particularly impactful in guiding me towards unexpected insights independently”
After a role expansion, my goal was to gain buy-in for innovative ideas and influence decision making with executive leadership. Áine's approach focuses on initially pinpointing specific outcomes and then outlining essential steps to attain them. She was particularly impactful in guiding me towards unexpected insights independently. This is facilitated by her adeptness in posing incisive questions and formulating a plan to achieve objectives. Consequently, I was able to identify precise tactics and develop a strategic roadmap to accomplish my goal. Additionally, Áine effectively ensured that I maintained a broader perspective, avoiding excessive immersion in day-to-day operational concerns and reminding me of overarching goals beyond my role's immediate scope.
Grattan Butler, Partner, GMB Law“improved ability to work in a more relaxed, focused and controlled way”
The most useful part of coaching with Aine was having a very honest and truthful mirror held up to our business to allow us to see ‘for ourselves’ what areas of the business needed to be worked on. Having Aine as a business & executive coach has - and continues to - benefit us in a very real way, by helping us to improve our work/life balance by giving us the tools to understand our business better and to help our business ‘work for us’. This in turn helps everybody who works in the business to improve their ability to work in a more relaxed, focused and controlled way.
Stephen Bracken, Director, DesignWise Automation“that shift in perspective has been invaluable.”
As a Director, it can be all too easy to get caught up in the day to day, but Áine’s approach really encouraged me to step back, reflect, and think more strategically about the business - rather than constantly working in it. That shift in perspective has been invaluable. The time and space Áine created for honest conversation, clarity, and forward thinking was exactly what we needed at this stage of our growth journey. Grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you!
Martin Golden, Managing Director, Snap “transformative impact … on both my personal and professional life.”
I cannot overstate the transformative impact that my coaching experience with Áine has had on both my personal and professional life. Through insightful questioning and expert guidance, she provided me with the space and tools necessary to truly reflect on my business goals and challenges. Moreover, our discussions shed light on the crucial role of soft skills in driving productivity and fostering a positive work environment. I came to understand that technical expertise alone is not sufficient; effective communication, emotional intelligence, and adaptability are equally essential qualities in a successful leader.
Niamh Healy, Antenatal Educator/Tutor, Cuidiu (Irish Childbirth Trust)“gentle but persistent guided questioning to get … to the answers within”
When I first started working with Áine, I thought I needed to work on goals and strategies for my business, but it quickly became clear I needed to make changes to my work-life balance and required clarity around what I really wanted there. She helped me structure my thought processes to bring clarity and enable me to recognise what is truly important to me. That, in turn, led us to work on what I needed to put in place to achieve that. I especially valued her way of using gentle but persistent guided questioning to get me to a point of finding the answers within
