Noelle Programme Manager, Higher Education
Deirdre was excellent. She listened really carefully and encouraged me to deepen my thinking. She was supportive and encouraging.
James: Senior lecturer in Education
Coaching helped me to assess my leadership approach. It has been a positive experience, helping me to process my thinking and plans at a time when contact with my professional colleagues was limited due to Remote Working. It has also increased my confidence as a developing leader and helped me to stand back from decisions and see things from others’ perspectives. coaching with Deirdre helped me to keep an awareness of vision and not just everyday fire-fighting.
Liza Duffin. Senior Educational Developer
Your coaching and encouragement helped me approach the opportunity head-on. If it hadn’t been for our sessions, I probably would have just let it pass me by!!
Dean, Senior Designer
From the first day, I knew the problem but didn’t know how to solve it. Being challenged helped me find the core reasons to the problems, and helped me overcome them. At the end of my second meeting I was seeing a real difference in my approach.
Liz, Art psychotherapist
The 12 week programme continues its positive impact, months later. I continually reflect on what motivates me. What I want to change and how I can practically achieve it.
Deirdre is supportive, adaptable, insightful and wise.
Vicky, Artist
Deirdre is very approachable, it felt easy/ comfortable talking to her. Before coaching I don’t think I realised how much was weighing over me. Coaching with Deirdre definitely helped me let go of things I didn’t realise I was carrying, and made me realise what was holding me back from moving forwards.
Final year University student
I am more self–aware personally and professionally. Working with Deirdre has enabled me to develop a toolbox to overcome insecurities, concerns and worries.
Maddie Secondary School Teacher
I loved my coaching journey with Deirdre, she was patient and engaging to work with. It has allowed me to set better boundaries in my life. Coaching with Deirdre has helped me to see where I was overextending myself and where there is room to develop and grow.
