Testimonials
Senior Leader in Education ( Post Primary)
“I am benefiting greatly from recent coaching sessions with Carmel, who has allowed me space to reflect on my professional development and team dynamics within a nurturing, supportive and non judgemental relationship. These sessions have greatly increased my efficiency and sense of well being at work. In addition, they have given me the confidence to branch out into professional development opportunities that I would not have considered previously. Carmel provides support in a compassionate and non- intrusive manner, always allowing me to reflect on my own challenges, decisions, attitudes and opportunities, all, whilst making the process seem effortless and enjoyable. I feel professionally empowered and rejuvenated and I now enjoy beginning work each day, after feeling demoralised and lacklustre in my post before beginning my coaching sessions with Carmel. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone who is experiencing doubts about their career to contact Carmel for coaching to gain renewed clarity and a confidence boost.”

“My parents suggested coaching as I was unable to decide on a post primary career study pathway …I wasn’t sure how this would help ….Carmel listened and through a supportive structured conversation I worked through my options with great clarity and focus , mapping my interests, skills and values for a true destiny and career path. I now know what I have to do, and know how to get there ….coaching has consolidated my self-belief and I now have the mindset to follow through on my plan."

“It was a great experience to have the coaching with Carmel for progression to a Senior Consultant Level Medical Clinical Divisional post.
The structured interview preparation within the coaching led me to surface awareness that my anxiety during answering questions was only subjective which was very valuable.
She took time to listen to my answers using role play and supported me to reflect on those responses to refine and hone them further to align them to the leadership framework.
I remember she did the session twice with me and the difference after the 1st session was remarkable. I got the job”

Consultant Paediatrician
“I had opportunity to experience a short coaching session while on a quality improvement course. This gave me insight into problems I was experiencing with my manager which were impacting on my attitude and behaviours towards other managers in my organisation and adversely affecting my promotion opportunities.
My organisation arranged coaching with Carmel who listened to my description of the issue and, without any judgement, was able to reframe this in a way that I was able to take ownership of my issue and make changes in my behaviours. The result of this is that I was able to get more enjoyment at work, be more effective at influencing managers and to gain a management position myself. “
