Testimonials
"Miriam guided and facilitated us in engaging our whole department in designing our strategy for the next 5 years. Her ability to gain a deep understanding of our needs, and her skill at designing and facilitating the group process in a positive and inclusive manner led to us not only being able to build an ambitious and motivating vision and strategy, but also allowed us put in place some better ways of communicating and working with each other. She is very committed and follows through thoroughly on all of her work. Engaging with Miriam has had a lasting positive impact on our department."
Prof. Justin Holmes, Chemistry Dept. U.C.C.
"We engaged Miriam to help us in set up an improvement project within our organisation. We found Miriam to be an excellent facilitator and all of the sessions she supported us on were key in getting the initiative off the ground. Her approach to the core team set up was excellent and the charter and mission statements are items we refer back to occasionally to ensure we are still on track. She has a calmness that creates an environment where every voice can be heard and she is skilled at ensuring the team asks the hard questions in order to agree the path forward."
Dan Griffin, Operations Leader, Merck Millipore Ltd.
"Miriam is excellent at working with both individuals and teams. She is very patient and thorough with thought clarification processes and builds high levels of trust. She is an able and skilled facilitator. She is very attuned to group dynamics and is great to simplify content to achieve meaningful output for individuals and groups. She brings a strong level of business insight to her work and produces comprehensive and meaningful reports of group output. Miriam has made a big difference in helping everyone in Good Shepherd Services come together to co-create their strategy for the next three years."
Tony O'Riordan CEO, Good Shepherd Services
"Miriam was instrumental in the development of our ‘Creating My Best Life’ module for our trainees. She worked closely with my colleagues and I to create life/career development tools to help our trainees recognise their potential. Miriam proved herself to be highly skilled in helping us organise our experience and knowledge of our target group into a tangible and effective piece of work. We were all impressed at how she helped us look afresh on our work; it gave our project a new lease of life. Most importantly through our work with Miriam we have been better able help our trainees achieve their goals."

"As Founder and CEO of Dress for Success Cork, I found myself, just around the time we were opening our services in Cork, being unable to "see the wood for the trees". Any start-up is challenging but launching an innovative, not-for-profit, volunteer led and based organisation offering a solution to female unemployment demanded particular skill sets.
Miriam was recommended to me for leadership coaching in the not-for-profit area. And, from our first session, congruence was evident. Miriam identified immediately, where my strengths lay and equally, session by session, provided the healthy nudges I needed to jump in, get engaged and manage myself more positively and productively.
Miriam helped me, in a safe space, to name and address issues truthfully and effectively and establish clear priorities.
I have no hesitation in recommending Miriam to "open the conversation and ask that question to effect the timely resolution of periodic leadership challenges".
Thank you, Miriam

"I always found Miriam great to work with in a variety of scenarios from 1:1 coaching for individual development to facilitating the development of whole teams together in their collective approach to work. Miriam endeavours to take the bigger perspective and is very committed to getting to the 'real' underlying issues, as opposed to scratching at the surface hence providing sustainable solutions. She has in incredible talent for spotting the real opportunity and for overcoming any obstacles to progress"
