Client Testimonials
Executive Coaching
"I was very impressed with Bernard's understanding of some of the problems I would describe, and how he could manage to make me look at situations from a different perspective by just putting some questions to me. This change in perspective usually made me feel more comfortable with certain situations."
-- Ivan Graydon, Senior VP Technical, Shannon Engine Support
"SES has developed a relationship with Lorna McDowell and her team at Xenergie over the last 3 years. Xenergie has provided team profiles, organised team building events, provided one on one coaching and coaching during the change of Managing Director.
Lorna and her teams insight on building a cohesive, dynamic and motivated management team is helping and influencing how SES is managing its business with double digit growth while maintaining a customer focused approach.
Developing highly competent and cross functional team leaders/senior managers is key to our global success and Xenergie is a key partner in helping us achieve this."
-- Pat Bergin, Managing Director, Shannon Engine Support
"I have enjoyed attending this coaching assignment with Xenergie. Psychoanalysis is an interesting concept when interacted with one's personality in the workplace and I felt that this (coaching process) delved quite deeply into this"
-- Noelle Aughney Hamilton, EMEA Call Centre Manager, Alienware Europe
Life & Career Coaching
"An integrated coaching programme for individuals who have a real willingness to change. Very inspirational and thought provoking".
-- Peadar Casey, Entrepreneur
"I found the sessions with Lorna refreshing and energising. It was good to be able to bounce my ideas and troubles off someone in a personal setting. Coaching helped me realise that I am the only one in control of my happiness; it has helped me be more creative when dealing with others and opened my mind to more avenues for thinking"
-- Louis Burke, young person transitioning from student to career/adult life
Leadership Training
"The two days we spent together were challenging, enlightening, energising and, in one word, FUN! A great range of activities and exercises, all extremely helpful in allowing me to develop as a human being and top leader"
-- Sean Ryan, Financial Director, Falcon Holidays
"This course helped me to see again that we are all just human beings and that we all have the same fears that make us wear masks. These masks can be easily removed and help us to show others who we really are. I am not afraid to show people now who I really am".
-- Kara Hanley, Marketing Manager, EMEA Tele-Marketing, SAP
"I have learned loads from the Belbin Team Role certification. Main thing is to see the full Belbin Team Role methodology rather than the very basic version I have seen previously"
-- Paula Collins, Training & Development Manager, Halifax Insurance Ireland Lt
"Thanks for a great course in Shannon. I really enjoyed it and I can see huge benefits in Belbin"

Workshops and Retreats
"I have attended several courses run by Xenergie and must say that each time it is worth the journey over from the UK. In September 2005, I attended the 1 Giant Leap course which was fantastic. Lorna had created a fully packed weekend, which was set in beautiful surroundings of the Burren Holistic Centre.
"The diversity of activities meant that you could really explore which direction you wanted to go. The small size of the group enabled the participants to get to know each other very quickly. One of the hardest but in the end most enjoyable thing was to hand in my watch!
"Weekends like this always give me lots of inspiration and motivation for the time to come. Upon return I have even had the guts to approach a shop and they are eager to exhibit my paintings. Can't wait to join the Relationship weekend in Spring 2006! "
-- Annemieke Groeneveld, Director of European Marketing, DTS Europe, UK
