“Clíona came highly recommended when I was making an enormous career change. Throughout what I believed to be a difficult task, she instilled confidence and excitement within me. Right from our initial discussion, Clíona created a tailor-made plan pushing me to understand my strengths and to open my eyes to future possibilities. I looked forward to every meeting and each time came away excited and invigorated. I can highly recommend working with her.

When faced with the difficult decision to move career, I knew I would benefit from the guidance and support of a professional. Clíona came highly recommended and once I started working with her it became clear why these recommendations were so glowing. Clíona helped me to clarify my values and what I wanted from my career. She provided the scaffolding and support to think beyond the ‘shoulds’ and connect with how I would really like to spend the considerable time and energy I devote to my work. More than that, Clíona was there every step of the way as I embraced change, failure and success. It is this connection to, and investment in, her clients that sets Clíona apart and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

She helped me to objectively assess all of the options available to me and to make my decisions on how best to move forward based on my values and ambitions.

She is very insightful, relevant and has a wonderfully holistic approach.”
