After a role expansion, my goal was to gain buy-in for innovative ideas and influence decision making with executive leadership. Áine’s approach focuses on initially pinpointing specific outcomes and then outlining essential steps to attain them. She was particularly impactful in guiding me towards unexpected insights independently.

This is facilitated by her adeptness in posing incisive questions and formulating a plan to achieve objectives. Consequently, I was able to identify precise tactics and develop a strategic roadmap to accomplish my goal.

Additionally, Áine effectively ensured that I maintained a broader perspective, avoiding excessive immersion in day-to-day operational concerns and reminding me of overarching goals beyond my role’s immediate scope.

Áine thrives at tackling complex topics with a mixture of candor & curiosity.

She revels in unpicking your own thoughts to uncover root values and identify paths forward.
All with a healthy sprinkle of good nature & humour.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Áine to anyone who is looking for a rewarding and highly differentiated coaching experience.
Mark Prout, Associate Director
I cannot overstate the transformative impact that my experience with Áine at Radiance Consulting has had on both my personal and professional life.

Through insightful questioning and expert guidance, she provided me with the space and tools necessary to truly reflect on my business goals and challenges.

Moreover, our discussions shed light on the crucial role of soft skills in driving productivity and fostering a positive work environment. I came to understand that technical expertise alone is not sufficient; effective communication, emotional intelligence, and adaptability are equally essential qualities in a successful leader.

When I first started working with Áine, I thought I needed to work on goals and strategies for my business and my voluntary role, but it quickly became clear I needed to make changes to my work-life balance and required clarity around what I really wanted there.

She helped me structure my thought processes to bring that clarity to enable me to recognise what is truly important to me. That, in turn, led us to work on what I needed to put in place to achieve that. I especially valued her way of using gentle but persistent guided questioning to get me to a point of finding the answers within.

Áine has been an invaluable support to me in my clinical private practice and an essential asset to the company as a business mentor. Having a coach with both frontline occupational therapy experience and business acumen brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to supervision. Áine’s real-world clinical experience, combined with her exceptional coaching and mentorship skills, makes her the most valuable resource in my business.

Áine is outstanding—non-judgmental, supportive, and always open to guiding me through my many ambitions and goals, even when some of them are a bit ambitious or currently out of reach. She has a unique ability to help you see the bigger picture, especially when things get overwhelming, as they often do in the field of occupational therapy.

I believe that everyone in business should invest in this kind of support, but I also think Áine is truly one of a kind in this field. Not everyone is as fortunate as I am to have access to her guidance!
