Testimonials

We hired a Coach “To improve efficiency in the business and to assist in taking the focus away from James as essential for the day to day business. To show us areas where we can easily improve in relation to other businesses. Management skills we did not have.

Now it feels like the organisation is operating more efficiently both financially and time management wise. Also it has relieved the pressure on James to be there all the time. Focus has made a massive difference. Most importantly through team meetings the team know where we are going and enjoy having an input.

It’s certainly worth a few trial sessions. I would be surprised if everybody would not get significant benefits from coaching. I would recommend it- 3 months trial at least” Carmel and James Collins, Adare Pharmacy, Adare ,Co. Limerick

“We decided to take on a business coach because we felt that we needed expert guidance in organising, running and promoting our business especially with regard to team compliance and motivation.

Coaching has brought order to our personal and business life and has helped us to solve in a constructive manner issues with regard to team training and discipline. It has also helped in defining our role as owners and the driving force of our business.

We would recommend coaching to anyone interested in improving and promoting their business and the quality of their personal life.” Peter & Eileen Murphy, Abbey Pharmacy, Mitchelstown, Co. Cork.

“For Just over a year we have engaged the services of Bridget Breen Action Coach. In this time we have instituted systems in our business which has improved its efficiency.

We have proactively marketed our business which has led to a 30% increase in turnover in the last year.Whilst I still see a lot of areas that are capable of being improved, I feel we have come a long way in the last year. This is why I will continue to engage the services of Bridget Breen ActionCOACH and have no hesitation recommending her.” John and Siobhan O’ Sullivan,  Mallow Printing Works, Mallow, Co Cork.

“I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the difference between my potential and my actual performance. Now I find that I am more focused on what I want out of life, and divert my attention there. Under Bridget’s direction and encouragement I have grown my business, hired more staff, and become more confident. There’s no magic. You do the work. You put in the effort. And you get the reward you deserve. You hand over money to someone who will push you to improve yourself.                                                                                                                                                                         You could do it on your own. You could improve your life and business without a coach. But you probably won’t. And that’s the point. Don’t think about what you pay, think about what you get.” Kevin Gartland, Gartland Architects Cork City

“Coaching has totally changed my perspective and approach to running my business. I am now working on my business more than in the business. I am working onwards the goal of structuring my business to survive without me, which will give me more personal time to pursue other activities.

I would say to a business owner, ‘Take the leap and make the commitment’. Coaching will open your eyes as to how your business can operate better and reach its full potential. It will involve a lot of work on your part initially but it will benefit both you and your business.” Ger Loughrey Advanced Surveys Ltd. Patrickswell, Co. Limerick

“Basically last year I recognised that I did not have the skills to build the type of business I want, “ A commercial, profitable business that works without me”. I came across Action Coach and its working out great. The coach meets me every Monday for 1 hr and we plan out what I am going to do for the week in terms of building that type of business. I also have signed up to reading a certain number of books.

She has a template for every situation and she can ring other coaches to ask for advice. It’s not cheap €1600/month but I need the help and I reckon it has saved me 30K already. Basically I buy into the idea that there is a formula to building a good business, I am prepared to put the time, money and effort in knowing what it is so that I have a way of getting out of this in 10 years time.” Frank Madden, Crest Solutions, Little Island, Co Cork
