“My Executive Coaching sessions with Dervilla enabled me to re-gain momentum at a time when I was experiencing a crisis of confidence. Dervilla helped to define my key objectives, explore potential blockers and identify ways to overcome them. She has an ability to probe for what is really important, breaking down tasks into manageable steps and provides practical examples of how to implement change and adopt different approaches. Dervilla has had a marked impact on my leadership performance and mindset and I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone considering Executive Coaching.”
