Coaching & Consulting Testimonials
Elma was excellent to work with. She helped me so much to focus myself on a career and a professional path that I would like to take. She is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. Elma is so easy to talk to and understanding. She has always given me much to think about after our sessions. I can say without a doubt that the sessions that we have had together have ignited my career path back onto the right track. I could not recommend Elma highly enough to anyone who is interested. She has just been beyond fantastic.
James, Limerick
“I was fortunate to work with Elma in a coaching context for several sessions and I found it both a very invigorating and liberating experience. Elma helped me to address a long-standing issue that every January I would write an annual resolution to go address but those resolutions never lasted beyond the end of January. Elma helped me reframe the problem in a more manageable way and give me the tools to go tackle the issue. Plus, Elma stayed in touch and held me accountable for what I had committed to. This was an issue that I had been grappling with for years but in a few sessions, Elma got me past that stumbling block. I cannot recommend Elma highly enough; she is patient, kind and has our best interests at heart.”
Mike, Senior Executive, large American multi-national
“Elma was phenomenal to work with! I enlisted her help during a phase of uncertainly in my career path, she was extremely professional, emphatic and analytical of my current situation. Having a person as passionate as Elma in your corner is invaluable in terms of a reset, she aided me in goal setting, highlighted my strengths (which I overlooked myself), Post her sessions I was left feeling refreshed and focused, in the end, I was able to look at my current situation from a different perspective, I would highly recommend Elma!”
Alan, Cork
“Spending an hour with Elma online today really expanded my ability to see beyond my current perspective which was limiting my growth more than I thought. I feel like her warm, almost sisterly manner allowed me to feel safe and totally comfortable to be fully open and vulnerable with her. I felt like she really had my back and was fully present to hearing me. She was able to see and nudge and explore beneath the challenges I discussed. In doing so I left feeling on a high and liberated and sure of the action steps that will steer me in the direction I wish to go. I now feel more confident and sure of my next action steps. I am so grateful to you Elma and look forward to progressing on this journey of growth and personal development availing of your reassuring and professional coaching sessions. Thank you.”

“Elma changed my life! After 4 years of sleep trouble with my little one, just one short session with Elma put me on track to solve the problem! She helped me feel empowered and see what I could do to change the situation. She helped me find a whole new perspective and a whole new attitude. Elma is clear, concise and has a natural ability to cut through to the core of the issue for quick results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!”
Amy, Midwest
“Elma is a highly-skilled and experienced Human Resources professional. In addition to being pro-active, readily available, and having excellent judgment skills, Elma also understands the nuances that exist in cultures and business practices across EMEA and APJ. An international HR organization would greatly benefit from having Elma in its team!”
Alessandro, VP Global Sales
“Elma is a rare blend of international HR executive - strategic AND tactical. My team of BDRs and channel marketing personnel were based in our Galway, Ireland office and it was Elma that made sure they were the right hires at the right time. In addition, Elma worked with our global PR agency to make certain that efforts specific to the EU were positioned with the local media and outreach. Always available to meet the East Coast time requirements, Elma's skill with bringing an "outside of the U.S." perspective was always met with positiveness by the executive team. Without her help in coordinating/organizing International partners, revenue would not have exceeded goals. Unequivocally, I can recommend Elma for any leadership position that requires positiveness, attention to detail, teamwork, and patience - she has it all!”
Jeanne, Chief Revenue and Chief Marketing Officer
“Elma came into an undefined role - our first HR professional outside of the US. She took charge, created a role that fit her and the organization and continuously worked to bring success to our EMEA and APAC teams! She became an integral part of the HR team as well her field team. She helped change the game for us!”

I have no hesitation in recommending Elma to anyone who needs support"
Marta, Co Clare
“I worked with Elma when I was at a crossroads with a personal issue and was unsure how to proceed. Talking it through with Elma and discussing the various options open to me really provided me with clarity on how to proceed. It also made me aware of some thoughts around the subject I had previously been unaware of. Elma’s approach is warm which made it easy to open up with her but she also asked some challenging questions that really added value. I have no hesitation in recommending Elma as a Life & Business Coach.”

She really helped me see things in a different light and helped me break it down in a calming and constructive fashion.
