Client Testimonials
“I responded well to Olivia’s calm demeanour. and didn't feel judged. She provided a space, I was completely honest with her, she listened and I felt heard without judgement. The balance of Olivia’s suggestions and external tools was just right. I really appreciated Olivia’s flexibility and the adaptations she made to help me progress with my goals. Olivia helped me to navigate a journey, pointing out a bridge or a tunnel while I was going round the roundabout. She posed the questions and gave tools to help me find solutions. I realised during our sessions that some of my behaviours weren’t serving me. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, the monthly action plans made me feel I could achieve my goals.”

“Olivia made the day really engaging and has a lovely relaxed manner, as well as great industry knowledge. Everyone left with so much more confidence - the growth throughout the session was quite amazing.”
Caroline Gardner, co-founder Quality Matters, Dublin
“I found the coaching sessions hugely helpful. I was able to approach many things in a different way based on questions Olivia asked me. I was able to reframe a good few important things in how I was approaching using my time and how I was thinking about my own skill set. Olivia has a wonderfully welcoming and calming presence. She is reassuring in her approach. She is able to look at things from a holistic point of view and point out key areas for potential change”
Alison Curtis, Dublin
“Olivia’s coaching style is a nice mix of relaxed but focused. She is incredibly calm and was able to extract an aim from the stream of consciousness monologue I started every session with, and gently steer me towards the goal of the session. Oliva helped me identify certain goals; varying from finding a better work-life balance to managing relationships, and then exploring and agreeing on a framework to achieve those goals. I had lots of little ‘aha' moments, mostly relating to my behaviour in my work environment and work relationships. This has changed me fundamentally and I care so much less than I used to, in a positive way! I would absolutely recommend Olivia as a life coach. At the time, the sessions were a little island of calm and productive reflection in a sea of chaos”
Emma Jennings, United Kingdom
“As the founder/CEO of a small energy consulting business, Olivia has been instrumental in supporting me through a difficult period of scaling the business. Olivia helped me focus on key objectives in the short and medium term and held me to action plans for achieving them. Having the space to discuss an open agenda in our sessions has been hugely useful to pinpoint areas I need to focus on in order to bring more structure and control into my corporate life. In addition Olivia helps focus on the balance needed between work and personal objectives. Olivia is an excellent coach, hugely empathetic, kind and creative. She helps to draw out and focus on what is needed along with providing suggested plans of action which are centred on practical, commercial experience that she has from her experience beyond and before coaching. I cannot recommend Olivia enough to leaders in business.”

The Power of Effective Media Relations workshop
“I would definitely recommend Olivia's training. It was incredibly valuable and helped me to understand many important aspects of Media Relations. She catered for my level of expertise and shaped the material to suit my role in the organisation. It was personalised and she made new concepts easy to understand. She is very approachable, flexible and wants you to get the most out of the training.
"Olivia is such a gifted communicator and made sure I understood the information. She related the material to my work environment which means that I can see a clear path forward to utilising the information. I look forward to learning from her again soon.”
