Coaching is now available at CBT Solutions to provide Business, Executive & Personal Coaching to individuals. Coaching is successful for a variety of presenting issues such as Improving Performance, Dealing with Change, Work/Life Balance, Setting and Realising Goals, Decision Making, etc. It helps us develop creative thinking skills and behaviours for working on ourselves, our personal and professional challenges, and our goals in life. The current economic climate has trapped many people in a position where they are being forced to make important decisions regarding their future work/life paths, and Joanna's experience and skills can be of immense benefit in such situations, where counselling/therapy is not required. Joanna has a Bachelor of Business Studies and a Master of Business Studies from the University of Limerick, as well as a Diploma in Business, Executive & Personal Coaching. Having worked in customer relationship management in the finance and security printing industries for a number of years, Joanna is now working in a senior management role with PCI College since 2006.

So sad. A real character, a powerful influence. I really found him so interested and engaged the times I worked with him. He dealt intelligently and sensitively with issues like anxiety, while still coming across as just an ordinary guy that people could relate to. Such a loss... Eoin Stephens |
