Executive Coaching
Coaching is a process of discovery and action. It involves a one-on-one relationship between coach and professional, focusing on specific goals or challenges. Through insightful coaching, psychometrics (when relevant), feedback and support, coaching helps individuals identify their strengths, overcome obstacles, develop new skills, and maximise potential and performance..
Your coach is your partner with you each step of the way, determined for your success. A client described coaching as “a unique opportunity to have in-depth conversation with myself in a safe space” the coach acting as your mirror so-to-speak and assisting with clarity, confidence and accountability.

“Having worked in the civil service I had the opportunity of promotion. There were 2 panels for both EO and HEO and I applied for both. The support and advice from Aideen was invaluable in preparing the application, and when it came to the competency-based interview the guidance and techniques I received really prepared me well for the interview. Aideen had given me the confidence to complete each interview successfully. I have been lucky enough to have passed on both sets of interviews promoted firstly to EO and then HEO. I would highly recommend Aideen’s interview preparation service for anyone interested in civil service roles or competency- based interviews. A small investment in the present for a big investment in your future”
Graham Connolly, HEO, Department of Social Protection
“Earlier this year I needed help relating to my future career pathway. I was approaching something of a ‘career crossroads’ and sought out Aideen’s professional expertise to help guide me. Aideen was most professional in her approach, establishing our timeframes, parameters and expectations at the outset. From there she facilitated a series of very engaging conversations that challenged my perspectives on life, work and family. This led me to become very aware of my core beliefs, inner values and awaken my real passions. Realizing the importance of these core traits, in turn, brought a move to a role more aligned with more authentic goals. This new role delivers both high levels of job satisfaction and a far more manageable work/life balance. Challenging my perspective helped change my reality. Would recommend the services of FlexiSmart Coaching to anyone at a career crossroads. “
