The Challenge

Sometimes the smartest professionals face communication barriers

I know what it's like to hate being singled out, feel socially anxious, full of doubt, or to simply prefer being quiet in environments that only acknowledge loud voices.

Over time, I transformed from a quiet, socially anxious young adult into a high-performing management consultant and confident leader. That journey is why I’m so passionate about helping others - especially thoughtful, quiet professionals - develop the communication skills and self-trust to do the same.

Growing up as the third child of four in a lively Irish family, it took me a while to find my own voice. But when I finally did, I discovered the power of communicating with our whole selves - through how we speak, how we show up, and how we engage with others.
‍
Now, after years of refining and applying those skills in high-performing workplaces, I’ve built everything I've learned into my coaching, training and keynotes, to help professionals like you communicate with more confidence, presence and impact at work.

I know how that feels. I've been there myself.
The good news? You can change it - without changing who you are!

Working with Niamh has been enlightening and transformative. Her dedication and personalised approach are exceptional; it genuinely felt like nothing was too much trouble for her. I gained invaluable, actionable speaking skills which I've already put into practice, and I'm delighted to say that my team is already benefiting from my learnings. Most importantly, I now feel clear and confident about achieving the personal impact I want to in my meetings and public engagements. I highly recommend Niamh’s course to anyone (particularly quieter people) wanting to level up their communication skills and their impact as a leader.

Working with Niamh I've learned to communicate far more effectively, and with better body language. I now self- correct - my posture, my intonation and my overall delivery to get my message across. People used to say that they found it hard to understand me (I tended to mumble). They don't say that anymore!

I can’t thank Niamh enough for this incredible learning experience. This program helped me adapt my communication style to different situations...and I gained so much insight into personal branding, body language, and vocal techniques, all of which have helped me present myself with more confidence!

Taking part in The Quiet Power Pathway has been a genuinely transformative experience. As an introvert who’s often the quiet one in the room, I’ve found it difficult at times to be heard or to express myself with confidence in professional settings. This course helped me find my voice and more importantly, taught me how to use it effectively and authentically.
