Team Training & Workshops
Making career navigation accessible for everyone.
Is your team leaning too heavily on leaders for career direction?
Are they feeling stuck, unsure how to progress, or struggling to see their strengths—both individually and as a team? You’re not alone.
A LinkedIn survey found that…
55%
of employees believe their leaders aren’t adequately preparing them for the future of work, and 45% are concerned about insufficient investment in their development.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
our training sessions and workshops are designed to cut through the confusion with fun, practical, and customised solutions.
We focus on real-world skills that help your team take charge of their careers, discover their strengths, and confidently tackle whatever comes their way.
These aren’t your usual boring sit-and-listen sessions. We’ll work together to determine what your team needs, and then we’ll ensure the training is hands-on and interactive. Your team will be involved every step of the way, with follow-up actions to keep the momentum going. And we’ll check in to see what’s working best for your team.

Whether you’re an organisation, non-profit, or university, our workshops are designed for anyone looking to develop their team’s skills and confidence. From early career programmes to strengths-based team workshops, we offer a range of sessions tailored to your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Isn’t training boring?
Not when it’s done right! Our sessions are interactive, practical, and designed to keep your team engaged.
Can you create bespoke training?
Absolutely. We work closely with you to design sessions that meet your specific needs.
Can we combine workshops and coaching?
Yes, we can create tailored sessions with workshops and one-on-one or group coaching.
Is it just you, or do you have other trainers available?
I work with a team of associate trainers who share my commitment to creativity, curiosity, and delivering the best results for your team.
Do you provide training outside of Ireland?
Yes, I do. And as a bonus, I love exploring new places—consider it a perk of the job!
Why should we hold workshops on 'owning your career'? Wouldn’t that encourage employees to leave?!
Quite the opposite! My workshops build your employees’ confidence, boost morale, and encourage them to see where they can add more value to your organisation. I help them think creatively about crafting their roles to benefit both themselves and your team.
Why hire an external company when our internal HR can handle this?
External expertise brings fresh perspectives and specialised skills. My workshops and coaching sessions are designed to complement your HR efforts, providing unique insights and tailored solutions that enhance your team’s growth.
Are the sessions in-person or online?
I offer both, depending on what works best for you.
