The Manager as Coach

THE ART OF DIALOGUE, THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESS

Coaching for Results

Breaking The Deadlock So That You and Your Team Can Move with Confidence

“There’s a pile of unfinished work on my desk. My teams can’t turn out the lights without picking up the phone to ask. They’re sucking the life out of me and I’m not getting near my other projects. As a business we are dropping the ball all over the place and our competitors are wiping the floor with us.”

If this sounds familiar it’s because your teams can’t think for themselves and are unable to effectively organise their work leaving you in a state of overwhelm.

With a focus on developing precision in work dialogue, Coaching for Results is a workshop that:

Reduces

your team’s dependence on you and increases their self-reliance.

Gives

your managers the confidence to delegate and make requests of their team.

Ensures

that your teams are properly resourced and set up to do their work.

Minimises

inefficiency through improving internal coordination and collaboration.

Improves

execution either on internal projects or out in the market place.

Developing clear approaches to the complex issues

My name is Dara Lawlor. I’m a business consultant and executive coach. I work with both early-stage and established SMEs who employ a minimum of 20 people. I’m known for helping them build healthy businesses through winning the right contracts and some of them have sold their businesses as a result. My work with the leaders of SMEs involves resourcing them so that they can step away from tactical operations to focus on the strategic work of growing the business. This involves developing them and their teams so that they can build solid foundations to make clear and powerful offers to the market that leads to a vibrant and growing business.

SMEs are the real engine of the economy and the key to a nation’s vitality. They can spring from a garage, the mind of a returning emigrant or indeed that of a newly arrived immigrant. They provide a path, build careers, feed families and develop their surrounding communities.

If they are adequately resourced and supported, their leaders will be able to build the confident, nimble and resilient organisations that our nations need.

I’m a keen sportsman, and the lessons I’ve learned from participating in numerous triathlons inform my approach to supporting my clients so that they are fit to win.

Testimonials

Dara has been working one-to-one with a number of my senior team over the last year and a half. He has steadily built their leadership capabilities and as a result has accelerated their careers – some to the extent that they are now ready to assume even more responsibility. I highly recommend him.

Stephen Murphy
Head of Service Delivery, Circet Ireland & UK

Dara has been working with key members of our team, equipping them with new levels of confidence and preparing them for the next levels of responsibility within our small organisation. His work has been seminal, both for the individuals concerned, and their contribution to our company’s future. I unreservedly recommend him as an empathetic coach who helps professionals clarify personal mission and vision, find and focus their mojo and, ultimately, make a difference.

Pádraic Gilligan, Managing Partner
SoolNua

Dara was a port in a storm as I began a new role in a new industry. He was quick to engage and establish a relationship of trust and support. Every time we met he steered me through known and unknown issues at hand, and helped me move forward with tangible plans and confidence. His own wealth of senior experience in people, projects and challenges was a key differentiator as a coach and I would thoroughly recommend him.

Senior Executive
Government Agency

I gave Dara an employee who showed great potential but who lacked an understanding of the mechanisms of business. He gave me back a probable leader who has taken the lid off her perceived limitations and grown in stature in the eyes of those who matter to her career progression.
