What Clients Say
A mix of the teams I've trained and the individuals I've coached, in their own words.
For Your Team
Maureen came into our company to assist with presentations to our clients and did a fantastic job! She gave us a number of suggestions and techniques to make the content and presentation far more impactful.
This was demonstrated by the surveys we did following our presentations to our clients, which saw a considerable increase in scores.
I truly appreciated Maureen's insightful and direct feedback to deliver a tangible change in the impact of our presentations.
— Andrew Shannon, Manager, Data Centre Division, Ventac Group
Our management team had the pleasure of welcoming Maureen to our head office. The content delivered by Maureen was helpful, educational and inspirational, and our team came away with more confidence in how to map, deliver and relax when presenting.
I'd really recommend Maureen and look forward to catching up again in the future.
— Mick O'Shea, Founder & CEO, MJOS Group
Maureen delivered an excellent workshop for our team on developing our own company pitch. It was important to us that the outcome reflected our values and was true to ourselves.
She eloquently introduced the concept and navigated us through to a very accurate description of who we are and what we stand for.
— Anne Heavey, Country Manager, Orion Pharma Ireland
Maureen did an amazing job delivering the team great structure on specific soft skills - how to use them, and use them effectively - optimising the content to our industry with relevant examples across the board. I'm very happy with her services.
— Shannon Curran, Regional Major Accounts Manager (Latin America), Fortinet
Thank you Maureen - our team really enjoyed the training and the manner in which you delivered it. It was amazing to see your theory being actioned in such a short timeframe. Looking forward to working with you again.
— Sinead Dooley, Head of Public Engagement, EirGrid
Maureen made sure she thoroughly understood in advance both the organisation and the communication needs of the individuals attending, and built that into the content of the day. She got her message across in a simple, succinct and engaging manner, using practical exercises to take people out of their comfort zone. We will definitely work with Maureen again.
— Michelle Brennan, Head of Corporate Development, National Finance Division, HSE
Maureen delivered presentations skills training to a group of 10 colleagues, each with individual presentations/communications skills requirements.
She prepped in advance by gathering key information from the team to tailor her workshop. The two-hour remote session was considerate, clear, thought-provoking and engaging. We all picked up valuable pointers despite having experience in the industry.
— Aoife McDonald, Associate Director, Cullen Communications

For Individuals
Own the Room
“I needed to make convincing presentations to senior leaders, customers and partners. I wanted to develop gravitas, be in control of the conversations, and be confident even if I didn't have confidence.
The experience profoundly changed my approach and made me very confident in having effective executive conversations.
Maureen is a very insightful coach. She challenges you, but in a very positive way. I would highly recommend Maureen. She does what it says on the tin.”
— Jack McCarthy, Enterprise Adoption Manager Europe, HPE Financial Services
Communicate with Confidence
I recently started a new role that will require me to present at a more senior level. So I looked for a course that would help me improve my presentation skills and that was also flexible enough to work around my daily commitments.
Maureen's course got me outside of my comfort zone in many aspects; I found it to be very relevant to me, well structured and practical. And I thought the small group format was helpful and encouraging. Getting immediate feedback from the team was very useful and constructive and was followed up by more detailed feedback from Maureen.
— Valentina Tarasco, HPE Financial Services
The learning and the support were invaluable. Not only did I learn the presenting skills specifics, the structures and the tricks and tips, I gained confidence and sense of presence as a result of Maureen's programme. I highly recommend it — the work is to the point, professional, concise and the result is evident — I delivered several public talks since and felt confident and authentic.
— Luba O'Neill, Wicklow & Kildare Mental Health
I really enjoyed Maureen's six-week training and got invaluable advice and guidance on how to create and deliver compelling presentations. I liked the small, supportive group and the pace meant there was plenty of time to ask questions. A great investment all round.
— Lissa McPhillips, Dynamic Marketing
Engage on Stage
I've never walked off stage as happy with my performance. I worked with Maureen to prepare for a talk I was giving at a big conference. I speak and present regularly, but this one needed to land differently, and I wanted to get the structure and delivery right.
Maureen gave me a clear process for organising the content, rehearsing it properly, and feeling confident on stage. She didn't try to change how I speak — she helped me be more intentional about it. I also came away with a framework I can now use for future talks and videos, which is just as valuable as the talk itself.
— Micheal O'Neill, AI Consultant
Maureen helped me prepare my signature presentation for a talk I have given at a networking conference. I needed help to put structure on my presentation and help getting my key points across. In the past I found it very difficult to filter the information I wanted to share, but with Maureen's help I was able to prepare a presentation that delivered information that is concise and easy to follow. What I appreciate most is the honesty and constructive feedback Maureen brings to her consultation.
— Susi Lodola, Psychotherapist
Maureen helped me transform what would have been a boring lecture into an engaging presentation which prompted discussion and follow-up. I'd definitely recommend Maureen's Power Session to anyone who wants to make a real impression.
— Audrey Moore, Trust Consultancy
