About Us

We develop leadership potential
We bring together experienced coaches, facilitators and business professionals to design and deliver collaborative solutions to enhance personal, professional and organisational success. Our focus is on conversations and approaches that challenge mindsets, behaviours and belief systems that hold you back from achieving personal and professional performance, stellar business results and enhanced well-being.

Our Professional Standards are the result of applying these Core Values to the areas of life and work in which we have particular responsibility. As coaches, we exercise a responsibility towards our clients, ourselves and the coaching community

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Through coaching our teams you have helped us start a movement. I’m seeing all sorts of things unfold. Thank you
LFHead of Digital, Multinational Organisation
I found the Positive Intelligence Programme very well structured and I enjoyed the positive sentiment upon which it was built. I learned a great deal about myself and how I approach others and I can use my learning every day. This has shown me how change is possible.
Dr Arlene EganRoffey Park Institute
Everyone, from every walk of life, would benefit from signing up to this programme. It helps to quieten down self-limiting, destructive or negative thoughts, choose wiser perspectives and reactions, turn troubles into gifts, improve interpersonal relationships and generate an overall feeling of internal peace and positivity
Janet KaneAdaptas Training
I entered the Positive Intelligence (PQ) programme at a point in my life where I felt overwhelmed. The programme was a game changer for me, it allowed me to hugely develop my awareness of what was causing my stress and overwhelm and taught effective, extremely useable techniques to manage those negative experiences. It has informed my work, with clients and been extremely well received. It is a programme that promotes a healthier, happier way of looking at and living life and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone. I am confident that everyone will benefit enormously from this programme.
Annika McGivern
Thank you Maura for a challenging, exciting 7 week Positive Intelligence programme that has changed my perception in the best possible way. I look forward to using all the techniques I learned going forward to give me a fulfilled deserved life that we all deserve.
POIrish Multinational
Thank you very much for your time and help over the last 3 months. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our 1-1 coaching sessions and feel like I’ve really benefited from our conversations.
Lauren R Senior Executive, Digital team, Multinational Organisation
Just wanted to offer you my sincerest thanks for the one-to-one sessions we’ve had, I got so much out of them, hugely valuable insights into certain personality traits, how to challenge my thinking and ultimately to shut down being overly-critical, while allowing some self-belief.
Paul HTeam Leader, Irish Multinational, Construction Industry
Maura is an excellent listener and brilliant at making you work through a problem and allowing you find a solution through careful guidance, nudging and patience. Sometimes though she will force you to call out the obvious and get out of your own way, she does this is in a personable good natured and brilliant way in what are often tense situations
MD of Irish Subsidiary of Media/Branding, Multinational Company
I have worked with Maura over the last two years recently transitioning from a SLT role to the role of Managing Director. The goals in our sessions have covered all aspects of leadership development including influencing and taking an active role at board level. She understands the world I operate in, has a high level of emotional intelligence with high integrity – important as we talk about many confidential topics. She sends extra materials and is available for phone/email conversations if the need arises.
MD of Irish Retail/Manufacturing company
I worked with Maura over a 2-year period when transitioning from a SLT role to a Director role. Maura worked with me in restructuring resources, managing relationships in a complex environment, developing delegation and communications strategies.
Director, Distribution Centre, Multinational Logistics company
I successfully completed the Advanced Diploma in Life & Executive Coaching & Mentoring with Maura Dolan. Congratulations Maura on an excellent course, this course is not only for those who wish to work in the area of coaching but for anyone who communicates on a regular basis, be it in a business or voluntary capacity – learning how we process information in different ways, set and achieve goals and understand what holds up back from achieving successful outcomes
M McCaffreyDirector, Print Profile Ltd
Maura Dolan has been a trusted partner of FBD Insurance PLC since 2016 during which time she has worked extensively with us in a number of fields critical to the development of our colleagues and organisational culture. I would have no hesitation in recommending Maura to any organisation, her professionalism, courteous and warmth has allowed her to successfully engage with a diverse group with impressive success. She has had a transformational impact within this area of FBD and I’m confident she can do likewise for many more organisations to come.
Mark BourkeHead of Consumer & Alliance, FBD
I worked with Maura on a Jobnet programme. Maura was a really excellent facilitator, who always had time for anyone needing it, both at her table and with other facilitators. She is a natural coach and I would recommend her to anyone
Sharon HughesChief Executive Officer, DIT Students Union C.L.G.
I successfully completed the Advanced Diploma in Life & Executive Coaching with Maura Dolan of Life & Executive Coaching Institute.

Keara McAndrewCountry Manager, Lee Hecht Harrison Penna
I completed the Coaching Models of Practice Award and the Advanced Diploma in Life & Executive Coaching & Mentoring with Maura at the helm. Maura has an excellent style combining both the skills of a trainer and Master Coach and the added value of her experience and knowledge really shone through. The nuggets she shared were invaluable and I recommend her highly.
Margaret HoctorTrainer, Mentor and Facilitator, Personal Coach, and Farmer
I completed executive coaching and training with Maura Dolan. Maura combines a real depth of understanding with a lively and interactive style which works really well.
Barbara MorrisseyGeneral Manager, Teflin Ireland (Telefonica)
I worked with Maura as I transitioned from 21 years in the Corporate world into my new career and I found her to be an exceptionally talented, energetic, professional and exceedingly competent coach through that process. I have benefited from her insights, suggestions and recommended focus areas, and her practical help in crafting my own personal charter as I move in a different career direction. This has been invaluable to me and as a result I would heartily recommend Maura as a top class coach and mentor. Thank you Maura for your insight, energy and enthusiasm.
