The Happy Ones ...... Obviously!
“Damian has an innate understanding around “how humans operate”. We initially engaged him on a 6 month contract (Sept 2015), to help us identify and create a clear “Business Culture”. His contribution proved so valuable that we immediately placed him on retainer and we’ve been working together since. If you have ambitions to create a team environment where everyone knows their valued, feels empowered and owns their contribution, Damian’s skills will prove invaluable.”
Michael Bradley

Damian has been instrumental in helping our business move forward .... I realise that since we started working together, the business has come a long way .... I cannot recommend Damian highly enough as both a business and personal mentor ....”
Ciaran Shanley
Director, Clear Financial
“Before engaging with Damian, I was really sleep walking into mediocracy. Unchallenged and bored, I had probably settled for “less than”. Since starting with Damian, I’ve genuinely tripled my income, feel challenged and energised, and simply couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
To be honest I knew very little about “Coaching” before meeting Damian. I always considered myself pretty open to new ideas, an early adaptor even. But on reflection my expectations of “Coaching” was I expected it to be a wee bit hippish and too overtly New-sge for me. I really expected it would be “Psyco Babbal” or, more “Lecturing”, I guess. But my expectations couldn’t have been further from the truth.
Damian’s style is to listen intently first. He gets me to challenge my thinking, to clearly define what I want and helps me focus on the nitty gritty stuff that makes a real impact. Small details, not complicated at all, but by focusing on those changes, it produces real results. Our time together is all about who I want to be, where do I want to go, and what should my individual roadmap look like?. He helps me to create the space to work “on myself”, and in turn, that has become the catalyst for my improvements.
To use a phrase that we use regularly ... “It’s good to talk” ... and if you do talk to Focus2Succeed, you won’t be disappointed”.
