I work with Emerging Leaders both in a private capacity and am also engaged by larger organisations who use the Coaching intervention as an investment in high-performing and talented executives and leaders. Where talent scarcity is one of the biggest issues facing organisations today, Coaching is increasingly seen as a central part of developing and retaining future leaders and of efficient succession planning.
Emotional intelligence (EI) continues to be the foundation of effective leadership especially as individuals move up the career ladder. Through the Coaching process we explore the critical competencies of EI: Self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-control; the ability to communicate and to influence, to initiate and to accept change. It is through a deep understanding of ourselves - our values, emotions, strengths, purpose and leadership style - that we can work and manage others more effectively.
Working together we recognise that star performers stand out not only by personal achievement & IQ but by their capacity to work well on teams and with people. Productivity is maximised by those who can manage themselves, manage others, manage conflict and manage change.
“Having first been impressed with Cliona’s expertise as a student receiving career guidance whilst at University, I have repeatedly come back to her at critical junctures throughout my career. Her input has been invaluable.
Clíona has helped me enormously as I've transitioned from one stage to another - as a consultant, data scientist and now Senior Director. She has a depth of expertise and unique ability to help people to discover their passion in order to reach their potential. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a Coach to anyone.”
