Kathleen’s coaching benefited me immediately – from the very first session, she imparted valuable feedback and practical strategies that I could use right away. After the first month, I continued to gain a vast array of meaningful and real benefits. Thanks to Kathleen’s expertise, I have learned look at challenges in a clearer way and am well-equipped with easy-to-implement tactics that have proven to be extremely effective. I have a better understanding of how I think and process information and this understanding has been invaluable not just professionally, but also in a personal capacity. Anyone who gets the opportunity to work with Kathleen should consider themselves very fortunate – not only do her clients benefit from her expertise, impressive experience and insights, but Kathleen is also incredibly professional, trustworthy and discreet, while also being amiable and enjoyable to work with. Working with Kathleen means being in safe and capable hands, while attaining tailored, individual solutions that in my experience, have proved to be utterly transformative.

We just wanted to reach out again and say thank you for doing an excellent job on the Organisational Talent Management session, it really made an impression on the audience and the workshop element worked really well, thank you for all the work you put into the session.

Strategic Partnership Manager, Skillnet Ireland

Kathleen and her team were retained by M1 Drogheda Skillnet on behalf of CEAI to research, design and deliver a career and competency framework for the National Hub Network.

This was an extensive body of work with the complexities of the sector making it a particularly challenging body of work to deliver on. It was for this reason we chose Halligan Consulting as Kathleen and her team demonstrated a very clear understanding of what was required and their engagement process with us, as their client, from start to finish was flawless.  

The standard of outputs far exceeded our expectations and in meetings with Minister Collins of DFHERIS, the work was highly praised by a number of key national stakeholders present.

I would highly recommend Kathleen and her team.

CEO, Community Enterprise Association of Ireland
