WHY WISER WORKING?

Business experience. Human understanding.
Our lead coach, Noel Clerkin, has worked full time as an executive and leadership coach since 2002 and is one of Ireland's most experienced coaches.
Before becoming a coach, he held roles in banking and financial information services, working internationally in Dublin, London, Paris and New York.
This combination of commercial experience and more than two decades of coaching means your conversations will be grounded in the realities of organisational life, as well as the personal pressures that accompany responsibility.
Noel has supported executives and leadership teams in UK, Ireland, Europe and USA across multiple industry sectors.

COACHING SHAPED AROUND YOU
What would you like to change?
No two leaders, or leadership situations, are the same.
Your coaching focuses on the outcomes that matter most in your role.
Lead with greater confidence
Develop an authentic leadership style and strengthen your ability to communicate, influence and handle difficult conversations.
Understand what drives performance
Look beneath presenting problems to understand the factors affecting motivation and performance in yourself and the people you lead.
Perform sustainably under pressure
Improve focus, resilience and self-awareness without allowing pressure to undermine your judgement, relationships or wellbeing.
Move beyond the presenting problem.
Sometimes the objective is clear. At other times, you simply know that something needs attention but you don't know where to start.
We begin with what matters now, then explore the patterns beneath it so that insight leads to lasting, practical change.
Stepping into a more senior or demanding role
Understanding what drives behaviour and performance
Balancing support with accountability
Identifying recurring patterns rather than treating symptoms
Developing leadership presence and confidence
Having more effective developmental conversations
Adapting your leadership style for different stakeholders
Managing energy and resilience
SIMPLE AND PURPOSEFUL
How Executive Coaching Works
1
Initial conversation
A confidential, no-obligation conversation to understand your situation and see whether the relationship feels like a good fit.
2
Agree the focus
We clarify the outcomes you want to achieve and how progress will be recognised. Organisational sponsors can be included appropriately.
3
Diagnose and act
We link your immediate issues to the patterns beneath them, using Realised Potential™. You can then apply these insights to drive the outcomes you want.
Locally relevant. Not locally limited.

Our Clients
"
There are many leadership training companies, coaches and advisors out there, but very few who really understand what leadership is all about.
Wiser Working is one of the few who are able to make a difference and long-lasting impact with individuals and organisations by being practical, creative and honest.
