We provide support to companies in the design and delivery of bespoke management development programmes for new and emerging leaders.
We also provide career transition services (formerly known as outplacement), executive coaching and internal career mobility programmes.
At the core of this work is balancing both performance and wellbeing in the workplace. We collaborate with several trusted associates in the delivery of such tailored programmes.
Programmes include built-in accredited assessment and psychometrics, best-in-class coaching techniques, evidence-based research and models from positive psychology and coaching psychology as well as up-to-date knowledge and expertise in the future of work.
Leadership & Executive Coaching
- Now, more than ever, organisations are facing real challenges in disruptive and increasingly changing and challenging times. Having an engaged, performing and ‘well’ workforce working to their highest potential is key. Along the way, managers and employees will inevitably experience either interference, disengagement, a significant mindset challenge or similar obstacle to their potential or performance.
- We provide a real opportunity to step away from the noise and distraction, eliminate the interference, and recharge productivity by connecting again to a renewed sense of meaning or purpose.
- Executive 1-to-1 coaching can help the coachee gain awareness, clarity, confidence, and focus to take action and move forward while navigating their way through the change or challenge.
Career Transition Services (Formerly Outplacement)
- At times, organisations face difficult decisions with re-organisation, downsizing, and redundancies. It has often been described as a bereavement for employees faced with these scenarios. Organisations that really care for the wellbeing of their employees at every stage of the career life-cycle provide support for employees exiting the business as well as for those who remain. With experience working with large global outplacement organisations in the past, we now offer a direct personalised and tailored programme with a particular focus on the future of work in an AI-enabled world.

Graduate and Internship Programmes
- We offer Graduate and Internship programmes and workshops designed specifically for early career development in this new future of work.
Management Development Training & Facilitation Workshops
- More than ever, managers are required to adapt quickly to accelerated change with their teams and within their business. Managers are not always equipped with the essential development they need especially as new people managers. Or indeed existing managers need to enhance their skills and knowledge in critical areas in this new future of work.
- We provide training and workshops for managers and leaders to help build confidence to lead teams through uncertainty and change, and perform at a high level providing them with a solid toolkit and resources to help them in a practical way.
- Also providing 1-to-1 executive coaching to help leaders and managers gain greater self-awareness, and awareness of others to improve communication, decision-making, resilience, as well as managing differences, wellbeing and productivity.

“The MBTI training session with Aideen was brilliant for giving us all an understanding in how we prefer to work, and how we can better work with profiles very different to ours. This is invaluable as we begin to reinforce our management team culture for the future”.
Paul McSherry, Head of Companies & Communities, Crowleys Opticians

“We were delighted to partner with Aideen Shannon from FlexiSmart Coaching to deliver our Success Ready Workshop to our Intern Programme at TrendAI.
Aideen combines deep expertise in professional development alongside real, hands-on experience from her own corporate career. This really resonates with the participants of the programme as you can sense Aideen is speaking from real experience and not just theory alone. The workshop covers essential areas—self-awareness and emotional intelligence, cultivating a growth mindset to overcome imposter syndrome, professional communication skills, building a strong personal brand, and understanding workplace expectations. What makes the difference is how she delivers it. Aideen took time to understand our business and tailored the programme to align with our culture and needs. Our interns consistently refer to this workshop as a highlight of the programme. She creates a supportive environment where participants genuinely grow—moving from anxiety about fitting in to real confidence in their professional value and potential. If you’re looking to invest in professional development for your early career talent, I’d wholeheartedly recommend Aideen and FlexiSmart Coaching. She delivers exceptional, tailored programmes grounded in real expertise and genuine care.”
