“I want to say a special thanks to Deirdre for the way she presented the entire course. She took a real interest in all of us and nothing was too much trouble”       
                                                   Jim Bredin

"I found Deirdre extremely helpful, has a nice easy way, caring and considerate. She stays with her plan but yet flexible enough to facilitate the group. She has a good sense of humour and can create the right balance between serious and funny”                                                               
                                                                                                                           Patrica Kennedy

 
“Again thank you for your wise and positive teachings; you continue to be an inspiration”
                                                                                                                              Maura Logue

“Deirdre prepared well for each session and I acquired a lot of reading material that I can always dip in and out of. She was always supportive and accommodating”

                                                                                                                                Anne Kinsella       

“I found Deirdre to be a very dedicated and focussed facilitator. Throughout the course I found her to be inspiring in how she herself got into Coaching, her management of her own career and in her obvious belief and conviction in what she does. She never failed to be pleasant, considerate, supportive and flexible to all members of the group at all times”

                                                                                                                                Elizabeth Doherty

 “The course was presented in a professional informal setting with no barrier between facilitator and group. The facilitator displayed a ‘larger than life’ image and showed pleasantness, enthusiasm and competence throughout. As a result the group process worked positively with lots of interaction, honesty and information sharing. Communication was clear, focused and feedback was always given in a professional manner. What stood out for me was the facilitator’s spontaneity with individuals who faced challenges, bringing them skilfully into the group process for the purpose of empowering and moving the individual forward. Sessions were stimulating with every session ending with the group wanting more”

                                                                                                                                Toinette Clarke

“Finally the tutor gave us so fully of herself – a great role model, always poised, receptive, ever ready to guide, to stir up the creativity, always there in a reassuring way. Deirdre could find something positive in any negativity”

                                                                                                                                Mary Cregg

“As a facilitator you could not have been any different. You excelled in your role and gave it more than the 100% always. You gave it in a professional manner, calm and in control and for this you were respected and admired”

                                                                                                                                Geraldine Minton

“Deirdre, as course facilitator, you were excellent. You were always professional and organised. You constantly requested feedback and I always felt that you were 100% there for us. You encouraged and supported us all the time and always had a genuine interest in us. You were open to any suggestions that we had and you were approachable”
