Enlighten. Collaborate. Empower.

Aoife is passionate about helping others grow and lead.

I coach leaders who are taking on new roles or expanded responsibilities and leaders at career crossroads and seeking a change. Together we work on cultivating a path to achieve your goals and improve your ability to perform to your highest potential.

I am passionate about helping others grow and making a difference. I have boundless curiosity about what makes people great leaders combined with a trusting intuition. I find joy in helping others make the changes they want and need to become the best versions of themselves and learn to live their life full of purpose, passion and joy.

I apply a series of evidence-based coaching techniques and thoughtful inquiry to help my clients develop action plans to make intentional shifts to achieve their goals. In our coaching sessions, together we will discover areas of growth, and I will compassionately challenge old patterns of thinking and beliefs. We will create insights to expand and deepen your understanding of who and how you are and determine where you want to go.  With an increased capacity for self-awareness, I will support you and empower you to make sustainable changes to achieve your goals with confidence in your potential and capabilities.

Coaching engagements typically span 60-minute sessions every week or every other week spread over the course of six months, followed by additional sessions as needed to continue supporting development work. Sessions can take place via video conference, telephone, or in-person. In between sessions clients have email support for questions or challenges that come up. Coaching adheres to the ethical standards of the International Coaching Federation which stresses confidentiality a necessary environment for effective coaching sessions.

 I am dedicated to being your thought-partner and trusted advisor. I am here to guide you through the journey with an open heart and mind, curiosity, compassion, and kindness. The nature of your goals may evolve through our work together, but I am steadfast in my commitment to support and encourage your growth and path forward. I will listen intently with full presence in our time together. I will share observations and ask questions to unveil insights or patterns to create awareness and broaden perspective and identify your choices. Our coach-client relationship is built on trust and openness where we collaborate to support your growth and unlock your potential.

May all that is unlived in you blossom into the future graced with love.
John O'Donohue

See What Clients Are Saying

I was preparing to take on the next phase in my career, and actively engaging in purposeful personal development conversations with senior leaders from across my industry. Despite the guidance I was receiving, securing the right opportunity was proving difficult.  I turned to coaching without fully knowing how it would be different. After 6 months of coaching sessions to say I am grateful to have taken this step would be an understatement.

Working with Aoife has been a transformative experience for me. Through her coaching  I uncovered things I never knew about myself. The largest change for me has been realizing the stories I tell myself and how they can be self limiting and how I needed to challenge that.  I could have only uncovered this working with Aoife. Doing this work has given me clarity in my purpose and confidence in the value I bring. With Aoife’s coaching I’ve built skills I was missing to focus my energy and better guide my decision making. I have also learned to question my inner voice and ensure it serves the path I am on. I’m thankful to have met Aoife and would recommend her coaching style to anyone who is seeking support with unlocking their full potential.

I contacted Aoife at a critical point in my career. I was hoping for a new outlook and energy to give to my existing position, and for help creating a vision for the decades to come for my career. I had never worked with a coach, and in the past had always figured out next steps on my own, but last summer I felt stuck in my thinking process about how to continue to be inspired and grow in my professional life. Another physician recommended Aoife to find out about coaching, and I am so glad I did!

Aoife is remarkable as a coach on many fronts. She helped me see the barriers that were preventing me from moving forward and figure out a plan to overcome them. She inspired me to examine what was most important to me and how to incorporate those values and desires into a vision for change. Aoife is both kind and concrete, empathetic and when needed, challenging. The sessions were therapeutic psychologically, and also structured in such a way to help me construct a plan to achieve short and long-term goals. She helped me be accountable to my creativity and give it the space it needs to survive.

I started the process feeling discouraged, and ended full of hope for my future, and with renewed energy for new projects and excitement in my work. I absolutely recommend Aoife to professionals who are seeking guidance at any step in their career!

Before coaching I was seeking support with time management and prioritization, to have work/life balance. Through coaching, I learned that within that goal were so many smaller goals to overcome-setting boundaries, challenging negative thoughts, being present in the moment, setting an example for my team and much more. Overall, my biggest takeaway is to be able to move forward without self-blame, and focus on positive actions that bring about change for me. I came out of the coaching experience feeling much more confident in my own abilities.
