Coaching Experience

​

Coaching for more than 10 years with 1200 hours of coaching logged.

 

My coaching practice is built on a lifetime in education. Studying at University College Dublin (English, Music & Philosophy), University of Limerick (Masters of Arts) and the University of York (Ph.D. in Collaborative Practice). Now in my late 50’s my appetite for learning and growth is undiminished.

 

I am extremely passionate about coaching; and am acutely aware of the challenges leaders face today in this age of complexity, with increased workloads and time pressures. As a developmental coach working also as a lecturer and an international performer (www.paulroemusic.com), I understand the demands and stresses involved in producing high-quality work in a range of environments. My clients include leaders in education, arts, science and health.

 

I approach coaching as a compassionate, empathic, and deeply respectful conversation. I work with clients to create a meaningful and empowering space to explore a broad range of interconnected issues related to work and personal life. A happy life is one that is balanced and integrated combining personal satisfaction and a healthy work ethos
