Client Coaching Testimonials.Coaching Testimonials - So what do Our Clients Think of our Coaching and Leadership Development Approach? The following are some comments from Managers, Executives and Business Owners who have sponsored and participated in our Coaching and Development programmes:
"We call on Mike when we know behavioural change with an individual or a team is essential to the success of a department or project.
I like that people feel they have support during a coaching programme.
At this stage, it is great that Mike knows the teams and individuals within the company - he knows "how things work around here" - and uses that to great effect in his coaching by taking all parties into consideration.
I recommend Mike to both small and large organisations - especially where it is essential to align the goals of individuals, and the goals of the organisation - and where practical results are required."
Eileen Forde, Training Manager, AkzoNobel, Ireland. Overall winners of the IITD Training Awards, 2009. Holders of the Fas Excellence Through People Platinum Standard. Dulux Paints Ireland
"We brought Mike and The Coaching Partnership on board to work on Management Development.
We wanted to use coaching to build up each person's confidence in their ability to do the job - so they could accelerate their development and performance in the group.
I have found that coaching offers very subtle and strong support to all of the other initiatives we have in place.
It works really well with people who want to manage their careers from an early stage.
It grounds them - and gives them a solid support in reaching early, and sustained performance.
I would recommend Mike and The Coaching Partnership to any organisation that wants to be proactive in getting strong results through their people."
Sandra Looney, Head of Talent & Strategic Resourcing, Musgrave Group. www.musgrave.ie
"I first approached Mike to work with one of our operation teams.
They were newly appointed managers - excellent technical people, but we wanted to accelerate their managerial abilities.
Mike was able to tune in very quickly to the business issues the managers faced - and helped them to think and talk like leaders in a short period of time.
I have found that Mike has an ability to quickly understand the business problems a company or an individual faces - and then works with them to provide a real results-focused solution."
Fergus O'Brien, Training and Leadership Development Manager - GlaxosmithKline, Cork. www.gsk.com
"I called on Mike to facilitate my team leaders.
They needed to come up with a unified approach to support major changes in the business.
The recommendations from the group resulted in major cost savings and innovative ideas to enhance the business.
A sense of confidence and increased responsibility was also apparent from the Team Leaders.
I came to realise that we couldn't have done it ourselves.
Unexpectedly - Mikes approach has been taken on across other sites as the results were seen as very positive.
In summary - working with Mike was money very well spent as the business benefits are there to see.
I would recommend Mike's coaching and facilitation - especially in situations where you need to get people "on side" to support major change -
and where real results are required!"
David Hughes, Operations Director, Dulux Paints Ireland. www.akzonobel.com
"I first came to Mike with specific business challenges.
I wanted to talk them through with someone neutral and outside the company.
As we talked through the issues, I realised which were really genuine - and we came up with specific steps for dealing with each.
As a result, I found my confidence in myself and my abilities growing.
My work with Mike helped me to stand back more, become less hands on in running the business - and start to run it more by managing people.
In running a business - hard decisions have to be made - and this is where I would return to Mike for the perspective required.
I especially recommend Mike to business owners who KNOW what they have to do,
but need neutral support in deciding on the best course of action to achieve their goals."
Aidan McDonnell, Operations Director, Pat McDonnell Paints. www.mcdonnellpaints.ie  "I first heard from business contacts that Mike was excellent in this area
and I since found that he has a unique skill that helped me to focus and tease out what I wanted to achieve with my business . Our work together helped me to set out my business goals clearly.
Mike's ability to think deeply and derive from your thoughts what it is that you want to really achieve stood out for me. I next plan to go back and do a programme with my key team members to achieve a similar programme of results.
I have no hesitation recommending Mike to Business owners who are entrepeneurial-minded."
