Dymphna believes that by challenging current thinking, beliefs and the self-concept we are able to address performance areas and thereby work towards our true potential. It has been said that the majority of people only use about 5% of their true potential. The opportunities for personal growth, skill development, job satisfaction and overall increased organisational effectiveness through improved productivity are huge. It is our own actions and thought processes that potentially block our own development. Working with clients in either group training or 121 coaching or training I challenge these thought processes to bring about changes in behaviours leading to improved effectiveness.
- I have a diploma in Business and Life Coaching which is accredited by the European Coach Institute.

Background
While working in industry I realised that there was something missing. I was not getting the satisfaction that I needed. Working with my own coach I realised that I was motivated by learning and working with people to help them be more successful and happier in both their work and personal life. I then moved into people development training and from there studied for my diploma in business and life coaching.
I get great personal satisfaction working with clients seeing them identify their goals and actively working to achieve them.
I have also achieved a Ph.D in Chemistry from University College Dublin, Diploma in Marketing and Sales Management from the Institute of Commercial Management and Certificate in Marketing Management from IMI.
I am looking forward to working with you to help you make the changes that you want. To discuss this further please call me on 091 583208 or 087 8285002
