STRATEGIC
PEOPLE
PLANNING

An organisation's true potential can be only fully unlocked if its people strategy is mapped with its business strategy so that they work in sync.

EMPLOYEE
RELATIONS &
SHARED SERVICES

Happy employees are productive employees. To keep employees happy, trust-based relationships with employees are crucial. Businesses can help by providing an organised structure of the various HR activities.

EMPLOYMENT

LAW SERVICES &

TRAINING

We offer expert employment law services and training ranging from individual employee relations cases to poor performance, sickness absence, investigations, disciplinary and termination of employment.

HR PROJECT
MANAGEMENT

We provide HR project management for small, medium and large organisations incl. TUPE transfers, redundancy, right sizing, restructuring or change management programmes.

HUMAN
BEHAVIOUR
TRAINING

Learn to positively influence the outcome of any situation by understanding what makes people tick. If you know how to interact with people in the way they want to be interacted with, everything changes.

TEAM

DEVELOPMENT

Skilled and positively challenged teams are critical to employee engagement and overall organisational success. 

LEADERSHIP

DEVELOPMENT

Leaders create the conditions that engage, managers maintain the processes, and workers provide the energy and momentum that keep engagement alive.

ORGANISATIONAL
DESIGN &
DEVELOPMENT

The process of aligning the structure of an organisation with its objectives, with the ultimate aim of improving efficiency and effectiveness. 

PERSONAL
COACHING

If there is a gap between where you are and where you want to be, and you haven't succeeded in bridging that gap on your own, personal coaching is for you.

BUSINESS
COACHING

Being successful in business means competing with the best possible version of you - every day. If you feel that you frequently let yourself down as a business owner or leader, business coaching is for you.

EXECUTIVE &
CORPORATE
COACHING

Organisations learn and grow only through individuals who learn and grow. A coach facilitates that learning and growth and saves you years, if not decades, in the process of becoming the kind of leader you aspire to today.

RESILIENCE
BUILDING

Stress is the achiever's word for fear. Fear of failure (or success), criticism, judgement, loss etc. Developing emotional resilience is crucial to stay mentally healthy and to contribute in meaningful ways. 

PEOPLE &
HR BUSINESS PARTNERING

As an HR Business Partner you’re a leader who works with teams, managers and key stakeholders to build organisation and people capability. You shape & implement effective people strategies. Want to improve your game? 

COACHING
CULTURE

The sustainable growth, innovation and people development of any business or organisation is intrinsically tied to the living & breathing Coaching Culture that is built on an empowering Coaching Mindset adopted by all.

MENTAL HEALTH
MIND FREEDOM    &
WELLBEING

®

With Mental Health and Wellbeing at the top of the agenda, never has there been a better time to add some additional tools and strategies to your personal ‘sanity toolbox’.

EMPOWERING
WOMEN
LEADERS

In addition to the external barriers erected by society, women are hindered by barriers that exist within themselves. They are rarely discussed and often underplayed. Considering the impact they have on women’s lives and careers, they deserve a lot more attention.

We are generally more effectually persuaded by reasons we have ourselves discovered than by those which have occurred to others...

I partnered with Breen & Associates for my Data Centre business during a phase of acquisition, growth and expansion. This was an intense period of positive change, including hiring, development of staff and maturing the organisation. Having the breadth and depth of experience available from Jo and the team was invaluable during this exciting and critical time in the business.
