CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES
TESTIMONIALS
EAMON MITCHELL, IRISH DEFENCE FORCES
"I learned what direction and career path I wanted to take and developed the skills and knowledge I needed to succeed in my new life"
"After 30 years in the Irish Defence Forces, I decided it was my time to leave. I had no idea where to start, or what skills I possessed and I had no idea which direction I wanted to take. I was truly lost! I joined Ciaran’s coaching programme and from there on I can honestly say Ciaran was brilliant and supportive. Over the course of our sessions, I learned what direction and career path I wanted to take and developed the skills and knowledge I needed to succeed in my new life after leaving the Defence Forces. Every session was solely focused on what I wanted to talk about and after every session Ciaran was outstanding with the feedback he gave me. Meeting Ciaran was genuinely one of the best experiences I have ever had. I gained a wealth of knowledge, so much so that I confidently walked into an Interview (My second interview of my life after 30 years) and as a result I was offered an opportunity to join that company in the new year."

I had the privilege of working with Ciaran in preparation for a critical interview, and I can honestly say that the coaching session with Ciaran made me confident and helped me pass the interview. From the very beginning, Ciaran provided personalized guidance tailored to my specific career goals and the job I was pursuing. Ciaran's approach helped me identify and articulate my strengths in a way that resonated with interviewers. We worked through mock interviews, and Ciaran provided constructive feedback that helped refine my answers and boosted my confidence. Beyond technical preparation, Ciaran helped me develop key strategies to manage stress and maintain a positive mindset during the interview. This was incredibly valuable in ensuring that I stayed calm under pressure and performed at my best.
Thanks to Ciaran's expertise and support, I was not only able to secure the job, but also gained invaluable skills for future interviews.
I highly recommend Ciaran to anyone seeking to advance their career, whether they’re looking to nail an interview or progress in their professional journey.
PAUL, DUBLIN
Before I went to Ciaran, I felt I lacked focus and confidence, often doubting myself at work, as well as having no interest in sports that I used to enjoy. I felt that life was passing me by, especially at the weekends. We had 8 online sessions from June to October where we identified small changes for me to concentrate on in areas of work and home-life. Despite one or two bumps along the way, (that’s life),
I feel like a different, happier, more grateful person. I’m more organised and confident at work and have 2 new hobbies that I’m really enjoying.
Ciaran offered insights for some of my behaviours that I had never considered, but made perfect sense when I thought about them. I’m definitely in a better frame of mind now, having worked with Ciaran. If you are thinking about working with Ciaran, go for it. He’s very easy to talk to and work with and I enjoyed the experience of working with him.

"I would highly recommend Ciaran, I had six fantastic sessions with him that were thought provoking and energising.
His style of
coaching is reassuring, guiding and confidence building, he has a diverse approach to his coaching that always helped me to look at different situations in many ways and he helped me to keep on track and aligned with my goals at all times. I know he will be the one I turn too if I ever need advice and support in the future."

"I have re-ignited my passion and regained focus on my goals and priorities, this has given me a massive boost of fulfilment and contentment in my everyday life"
"Before working with Ciaran, I was extremely unsettled and unsure of any kind of direction and focus as I was completely losing interest and motivation in areas of my job, studies and hobbies. Over the course of working with Ciaran, we have implemented steps that have completely overturned my focus - I have re-ignited my passion for these elements of my life and thus regained focus on my goals and priorities, this has given me a massive boost of fulfilment and contentment in my everyday life. I would highly recommend Ciaran's coaching, I was apprehensive initially, but as soon as I began with Ciaran I was confident that his expertise, sincerity and devotion was going to improve my life immensely, for which I am very grateful."
Andrea, Cork
"I could not recommend Ciaran enough. During our sessions, I felt understood and listened to in every way. I started to think about my values and goals from a new perspective, which has impacted the way I see my needs and make decisions forever. He knows how to evaluate a situation, all while encouraging you and giving you space to explore what it is you truly want. "
LUCIA, DUBLIN

KEN, DUBLIN
"I found Ciaran to be an excellent coach. Our conversations were enlightening, structured, and really positive. The sessions were focused on areas I wanted to talk about, and I found working with Ciaran really beneficial for my professional development. This was my first experience with a coach, and I couldn't recommend it enough. Ciaran managed the whole process excellently with supportive, and useful feedback after each session."
HELENA, DUBLIN
"Undertaking coaching sessions has been a revelation, enabling me to break a toxic cycle of exhaustion, stress and tension that I had gotten myself into trying to deliver an ever-increasing impossible workload. Ciaran, in a calm and gentle manner, pressed me to examine the reasons I was pushing myself beyond what was needed and enabled me to identify resources and tools I had within my own control that transformed my situation. He provided a safe space for me to be vulnerable and honest about how overwhelmed I felt and then motivated me to identify how I might change things for the better but also to accept that not all situations can be controlled or influenced. I would happily recommend Ciaran as a coach and hope that others who avail of his knowledge and skills in this area find it as beneficial as I did."
DITTE, DENMARK
I think one of the reasons that Ciaran is such a great coach is because he is a fantastic listener and asks powerful questions. He was also very attentive to what methods and strategies felt exactly right for me. I would absolutely recommend Ciaran as a coach, whether you have a specific goal you want to reach or you just know something has got to change, you are sure to get closer to where you want to be after working with Ciaran."
GERALDINE, CO. MEATH
“Ciaran is an excellent coach who not only helped me to prepare for my competency-based interview, but also demonstrated a genuine interest in hearing my prior job interview experience to identify key areas for development for fine tuning. Through Ciaran’s personable approach and highly effective coaching skills, he boosted my confidence by providing me with opportunities to practice my answers with him. I cannot recommend Ciaran highly enough. I passed my interview and I am hugely thankful for Ciaran’s coaching.”
