Here is what Dynamic Leadership Development’s clients are saying about our services and value.
Colm’s approach to coaching brought me immediate and long-lasting benefits in my role. From our first meeting there was a path identified to improve my performance as an executive. Colm’s use of a wide range of methods produced meaningful information that allowed me to see what actions needed to be taken at the right time. I continue to see the benefits of Colm’s coaching.
Graham Crowley, Head of Claims Analytics & Insights, Allianz Ireland
Colm's coaching allowed me to get an objective view of how I impact a group. Colm's ability to suggest subtle response changes have made significantly positive impacts on how I engage with my team and my organisation. Our coaching sessions gave me perspective and skills to allow me to manage my responses positively. This was achieved in a short number of meetings, through straightforward methods, driving for authentic and lasting results. I would recommend Colm's coaching to anyone who is open to improving how they engage with others.
Ciara Scully, Pricing Strategy Manager, Britvic
Colm, in his capacity as my coach, helped me identify opportunities I had to develop as a manager. Colm's casual, personal, provoking and knowledgeable coaching style had a significant influence on how I identified areas of focus and, indeed, how I monitored my achievement of these. This engagement helped me grow, not only as a manager and a member of a peer group, but I found items that I was clearly able to bring into my personal life. I continue to use the tools Colm shared with me.
Philip O'Neill, Head of Group Finance, Irish Life
I really appreciated the sessions with Colm. Starting with a perfect review of my leadership 360 survey, identifying strengths and development areas, up to a perfect action plan to optimize my skill set. He has the instinct to turn the right screws to bring people to the next level. Sometimes the good ideas are so crystal clear but someone has to put you on track.
Oliver Graubner, Market Operations Director, Activision
The Rocket Model is an essential toolkit for any manager looking to drive high performance teams. It provides easy to follow principles that drive high impact when all put together. Discussing the feedback around team performance was also a great way of building trust within the team and having open conversations with each other. We also had a lot of fun working with Colm and Melissa, which is equally important.
Annica Pender, Director, Tech Industry
"Colm opened a new world for me. He was my personal leadership coach while I was based in Europe. During our time together, Colm helped me see my shortcomings and my strengths; he helped me see a higher potential in me. With Colm's assistance, I was able to prepare for the role and he coached me to be a better leader. I am very proud of every moment I got to learn from Colm. If you need a leadership coach, Colm is a great person to go to."

I still find it incredible that he retains so much from previous conversations. Colm has helped me to be tactical with specific situations and strategic with my overall development. In short, Colm is a great Coach, Consultant and Mentor."

Follow up and follow through are strong values. Meetings are always run extremely well and the professional with cogent reasoning always apparent. Progress is easy to monitor.
I’d also note that their consultants are always enthusiastic and energetic (even when the management team themselves might be wilting). Finally, even in these financially challenging times, I feel that the money is being well spent with DLD.”
