Who Am I..

---

I am the founder of Liberated by Design: a creative space combining business acumen with consulting, mentoring, coaching and communications. I am also the creator of primed. - an original solution for learning, growth and development in the 21st century.  

As an organisational coach, I am specialised in designing Culture Change and preparing organisations and the people who populate them for the challenges posed by 4th Industrial Revolution. 

I share my time as a director in my own company with facilitating training programmes and executive coaching processes for EEC - (La Escuela Europea de Coaching) internationally.  In the past four years I have work with multinationals and SME's helping them to build robust 21st century cultures populated by individuals who have and /or are developing the skills necessary to be response - able, and committed both to their own and the companies growth. These people have learnt to seamlessly and continuously craft conversations that solve problems, build relationships and withstand the tremours of constant change. More importantly, in a multinational digital workscape I teach people to converse with the unique way of being of others not their surface culture and background. By creating a shared vision and road map based on positive intent, we work to overcome roadblocks created by personality, mindset, and culture to achieve extra - ordinary results.

Among my projects : 

• ‘LEADER21’, an experiential leader coach training programme and 'nuances’. A programme designed for executives and managers faced with the challenges of working with and coaching multi-lingual, multi-cultural teams in English, where it may not be the mother tongue of one or either of the people involved. This project comes directly from my own multi-lingual, multicultural coaching experience, having spent 12 years working and living in such environments. 

• primed.to rise : I am also specialised in Career development and Leadership for women.

For over 25 years, I worked in Marketing and Sales, as well as in the research, design and development of cultural products for National Heritage Sites and tourist venues. 

Latterly, I worked as General Manager of a large tourist resort in the west of Ireland. I came to ontological coaching following stage 4 breast cancer and a belief in the importance of creating better choices for individuals and organisations as well as a need to giving back. 

My love of discovering and developing new ways of learning and being, my own growth path and my desire to see others thrive are the motivations behind my work. 

Among my publications: 

• a novel entitled ‘The Cottage’ 
• an eBook entitled ‘Emotions Matter’: a manual for understanding our emotions and the important role they play in the choices we make and the lives we live. 
• self-development/self-coaching tool kit called the ‘The Clarity Process’ which is available in the resource section. 

I also enjoy mountain treks, cross country skiing and cooking with my husband Aldo, when I am not immersed in all things ontological and coaching.
