Testimonials

“Rowing Ireland was struggling with growth and success in recent years and needed someone to guide us through a restructure. Ann consulted with us and her work has brought positively dramatic change and structure to our organisation. Not only did Ann support me as CEO,
she supported the whole team and Board in making excellent decisions that will drive growth for the sport of rowing in Ireland.
I highly recommend Ann to any organisation or person seeking change and indeed I have recommended her to many of my sporting colleagues in National Governing Bodies responsible for driving growth.”

The course was very insightful and highlighted a number of things I had not thought
would make such a difference to the outcome or effectiveness of a report.
Ann was also very articulate in explaining any issues raised.

“Thank you Ann, I found the workshop today very beneficial and really useful for our team to learn the “scaffold” around which they operate. They do so much right and it’s important that they understand and have called out the mechanics that they naturally go through to make our service what it is.
A real take away is to make sure we create the consistent message for everyone.”
(Challenging Conversations Workshop) CEO, Credit Union

“The course was extremely helpful with a lot of in-dept information given to not only deliver strong presentations but how to interact with any audience type or level and how to get the most from the interaction. Training did not deal with endless models and theories but instead relied heavily on universal experiences that everyone can connect to so that the skill of presenting felt more attainable to all. Strong guide lines were given and a framework to build around.” (Powerful Presentations Workshop) Áine, TCD

“It was a pleasure working with Ann while I was trying to find a new leadership role following redundancy. Ann not only helped me come up with a strategy on how to perform during interviews but also helped me to frame SMART answers which resulted in job offers. She was also instrumental in clarifying which offer I should choose, along with how to plan my first 90 days.
Thank you Ann for your professional support and friendship.” Sanjeev, Dublin

“Ann was vitally important to me when setting up my own business. From the outset she helped me outline SMART goals and gave me the confidence and courage to deliver on them. But more importantly through my sessions with Ann, I could establish what was most important to me in having my own business and how I could hold true to my own values.

I can’t thank her enough for her patience and empathy and would highly recommend Ann to anyone who needs some guidance and direction.” Anthony, Louth
