Principal, Primary School

We had the pleasure of having Natasha present a workshop on Emotional Intelligence through the Rotary Career's Connect program. I loved Natasha's candour and honesty, optimism and resilience. We were fortunate to have the time to spend with her and engage with emotional intelligence theory as well as the practical steps we can all take to develop this form of intelligence. Natasha may have inspired more than she imagined!

Manager, Youth Training centre

During 2024, Natasha delivered a series of lectures to industry on various Emotional Intelligence related topics on behalf of the Centre for Insurance Risk and Data Analytics Studies at SETU . The positive feedback that we subsequently received was immense. Furthermore, Natasha was a joy to work with. Despite several last minute changes and requests made by us, Natasha delivered 100% to specification with a positive "can do" attitude. It will therefore come as no surprise that we wholeheartedly recommend Natasha to you and your organisation.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Natasha through our mutual membership of The Rotary Club of Wexford. Both her and I share a passion for trying to help those in our community and giving a portion of our time to volunteer and to try and make a small difference. In June 2023 Natasha commenced her year as President of The Rotary Club of Wexford. Being a volunteer organization Rotary clubs rely on active, engaged and passionate leaders and members. Natasha’s presidency was a breath of fresh air and really was a turning point and evolutionary point for the club. Drive, ambition, knowledge, expertise, vision, integrity, flexibility and empathy. These are, in my opinion some of the key traits of a leader and indeed the traits of an individual any company would want to employ or work with. Natasha exudes these leadership traits and skillsets. During her time as President of The Rotary Club of Wexford Natasha identified a number of areas that needed our focus and attention. Under her leadership the club increased membership, developed new initiatives, had more fellowship events and had more effective and productive meetings. And that is only part of her achievements in her role of President. Her teamwork was also outstanding. The club is a better club today largely thanks to Natasha and in turn is making more of a difference in our community. Natasha’s leadership was transformative for the club. I consider myself fortunate to have joined The Rotary Club of Wexford at the same time as Natasha, and to have been there during her Presidency.

During our time together, she consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, excellent attention to detail, and a positive attitude. Natasha was always willing to go above and beyond to help out team members and ensure that projects were completed successfully.

Natasha brought invaluable insights, fresh ideas, and a collaborative spirit that elevated the project. Her ability to engage audiences and support our team ,made a real impact. Beyond her contributions to the series, her strategic thinking and passion for sustainability made her a fantastic consultant to work with.

Natasha’s commitment and passion for the role shone through, and she always approached every challenge as an opportunity, clearly articulating plans and pursuing support and execution with dogged determination.

I first met Natasha at a Skillnet Networking Event. I had just moved back from Australia and I was keen to meet likeminded people in Wexford. How lucky was I to meet Natasha! Natasha and I completed our studies together completing a Master of Business in Executive Leadership in SETU. We collaborated on several group projects. Natasha’s ability to stay organised and approach challenges logically made her an invaluable teammate. I always felt a sense of relief when I was partnered with her, knowing the project was in capable hands. We sat side by side when we graduated and we as proud of each other, as ourselves. Natasha invited me to be a guest judge at the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. During this time, I witnessed her leadership and dedication to Rotary, an orgaisation close to my heart. I don’t know how Natasha worked, led Rotary and studied at the same time; she is an inspiration! When I started my own business, Natasha was incredibly supportive. She offered thoughtful advice and brought a calm, steady presence during moments of uncertainty. Her input and encouragement were truly appreciated during that time. Natasha’s professionalism and clear-headed approach make her an asset to any team or project. I consider her a friend and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Liz McGonigal, GreentechHQ

I recently had six executive coaching sessions with Natasha, and honestly, I found the whole experience really powerful. Coaching was a completely new concept to me, but I was made to feel comfortable right from the start, which helped me open up and get the most out of it. Throughout the sessions, I noticed real personal growth. The skills that came to the surface during the process have had a big impact — not just on how I work, but also how I relate to others. Professionally, I feel more confident, and I've been able to show much more empathy and understanding towards my colleagues. It’s been a genuinely valuable experience.

HR Manager, Hospitality Sector

Natasha's genuine enthusiasm for coaching, combined with her remarkable empathy, understanding, and exceptional listening skills, created an environment where each coaching session felt like a refreshing escape. The coaching conversations with Natasha coupled with the ECR emotional intelligence self-assessment provided a unique opportunity to address strengths and growth opportunities and view them from diverse angles, rather than suppressing their impact. Natasha's approach is both open and composed, allowing for an adaptive coaching style that consistently found the most effective approach for different experiences. I am grateful for Natasha's executive coaching which has empowered me to navigate complexities and discover fresh perspectives. Working with her has been an invaluable journey, ultimately leading to improved personal and professional outcomes. Thank you, Natasha, for being a catalyst for positive change and for providing a coaching experience that was truly transformative.

MH, Entrepreneur

As someone new to a leadership role, I knew I had a lot to learn—not just about managing others, but about understanding myself more deeply. Working with Natasha has been a truly transformative experience. Her coaching helped me grow not just as a professional, but as a person. Through our sessions, Natasha created a space that was both challenging and supportive. She helped me reflect honestly on my strengths, as well as the patterns and habits that were holding me back. I gained clarity about how I show up as a leader, what I naturally do well, and where I need to be more intentional. Natasha didn’t offer quick fixes—she guided me through meaningful self-discovery. I’ve come away with a much stronger sense of who I am, how I want to lead, and what I need to continue working on. I’m incredibly grateful for her insight, patience, and ability to meet me exactly where I was. I would highly recommend Natasha to anyone who’s ready to invest in their personal growth and step more confidently into leadership.

Coaching That Transforms Leadership with Emotional Intelligence

I found the coaching experience with Natasha to be extremely valuable. The Leadership and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) programme helped us understand what effective leadership and emotional intelligence look like in practice — and how they apply in our own roles.

Natasha guided us through Emotional Capital Report (ECR) self-assessments, which highlighted our strengths and areas for development. This brought greater self-awareness to how we lead.

I particularly appreciated the one-to-one coaching sessions. Natasha created a safe, supportive space to explore challenges and helped me reflect deeply on areas for growth.

A standout part of the experience was the live demonstrations of difficult conversations — practical, eye-opening, and immediately applicable to the workplace.

Natasha is a skilled and attentive listener. Her calm and thoughtful approach made the sessions both engaging and constructive. She brought real value to the programme, and I wish her every success in her work

William Whelan, EHS and Facilities Manager, BD

I found the months of mentoring with Natasha incredible. Her guidance over the mentoring period gave me the skills to reflect inwards and realise what goals are most important to me and that I have the ability to make that happen for myself. The most important takeaway for me was confidence which makes all the above possible.
