Leading Change Testimonial
" Irial led a programme of engagement across all of the operational teams to get the users to articulate how they felt the revised processes should operate. This engagement process was very important as it gave users a sense of being able to contribute to the determination of the operating processes for the business, rather than perceiving that anything was being imposed on them.
One of Irial's strengths lies in her ability to bring people together and to facilitate discussion and debate towards the achievement of a common position. The exercise was ultimately a success from the business' perspective, due in no small part to Irial’s involvement in it.

"I did not expect the impact of doing the 360 Emotional Intelligence profile to be so fundamental to all aspects of my life in such a positive way.
We all go around with an impression of how we function, with no reality 'check in'. This is what the 360 profile did for me, it provided a balance to how I think I function, it informed me as to how I function with interactions with business, friends and family.
Irial supported me through the process so that it was unthreatening, informative and useful. The resulting profile is a very powerful tool because it is so real, not a theory or a guess as to strengths and weaknesses, but actually how I function.
The effect on my business has been to enjoy my strengths more fully, to provide path to develop skills (or employ those who have the skills) that do not come easily to me and to develop personally in ways that will inevitably benefit the business.
The overall effects of working with Irial is that I can manage change better, I am more proactive in making changes which is less stressful for the whole team. I am more relaxed and more approachable. I take more time off for the good things in life and I listen to team members and involve them in more in taking the initiative, they have been remarkably good at solving problems I used to carry around on my shoulders.
