PAT OWENS Mallow Chamber President

Rochie had to push me hard to get me to read that first four-page training article he gave me, detailed reading would not be my usual way.  As soon as I read it, it was like being hit by a bus.  I knew immediately that those twenty minutes would become the best business investment I had ever made.   After forty years, I had totally changed my approach to business in twenty minutes.

I went on to do my first two-day workshop with Rochie, I then made another very definite business decision ... from then on, I would join Rochie regularly in one of his workshops, just for myself.  I have since been tirelessly recommending them to my business colleagues.  We all need to stop slaving busily within our businesses and start to make our businesses slave for us. 

Go join one of Rochie's workshops, I guarantee it will be one of the best business investments of your life

ANNA LOGAN Business Development Executive

I certainly got a huge amount from the recent workshop. It gave me great clarity about myself and what makes me ‘tick’. Better still, it gave me a path to a better future for myself in all aspects of life - both at home and at work. I have become noticeably happier and much more effective in every way. Believe me, the material works!

GERRY MEEHAN Financial Controller North Cork Co-Op

I found the three workshops that I attended to be most beneficial. I would say that I now have a much better awareness of my own strengths and weaknesses. Also, I learned many useful tools to help me communicate more effectively and to provide more positive leadership in my workplace.

One of the most positive things to come out of the workshops, for me, was the realisation that those incisive skills can equally be applied in my life outside of the office.

I can say, without hesitation, that I found the workshops excellent, the best training I have ever been on!

ALISON MORIARTY Essential Marketing

The material on Rochie’s workshops gave me great insights and enlightenment on the internal processes that make us all ‘tick’. I have certainly learned to see the wood for the trees in so many ways.

Whether in business negotiations or presentations, I now cope constructively with my non-stop gremlins and I have been sharply up-skilled to deal with any stray thoughts or strong emotions as they arise, a great breakthrough for me.

I would recommend Rochie’s workshops to anyone looking for an extra edge in their style of doing business.

TONY MAHON CEO Teacher Training Centre

I have attended a number of Rochie’s workshops, I feel that this time ‘away from it all' is essential for reviewing and re-structuring where I am at. The workshops have taught me that, to keep my perspective, I need to block off that time - on a regular basis.

I find the group work with those in the workshop to be an absolutely invaluable learning experience - sharing the highs and lows, the more major philosophies as well as the everyday tips and tricks. I would never miss an opportunity to join one of Rochie’s workshops, I recommend them without hesitation or reservation.

I found the workshop was most enjoyable, well structure and professionally presented by Rochie, who has a clear and strong understanding of organisation dynamics. He showed me how to set challenging and inspiring goals for my business, which facilitated me to further develop the skills I already had. The workshop has empowered me, instilled me with confidence and has equipped me with tools and knowledge, that I can use both in my personal and business life for the rest of my life.

This is a workshop that everyone needs to do, regardless of where they are at - in business or in life.

PAUL O'SULLIVAN CEO Clann Credo

I have worked with Rochie as a trainer for many years, yet I still return to join his workshops regularly - that is its own best recommendation. In my opinion, he is a true professional, he prepares obsessively for each and every workshop with a religious-like fervour.

I know Rochie has a great love of research on all things coaching and training, the man never stops reading. We, the Participants, get the benefit. He remains as passionate and dedicated to helping people, as he was in the first workshop I joined.

Of course, we, the Participants, would claim no small credit for ‘straightening’ Rochie out on a few things too, small and large. To his credit, Rochie is a great listener, with an un-ending appetite for new stories of experiences from the reality of the coal face - to test and fine-tune and re-build each model. They are well worth a listen - what an understatement! Don’t miss out on the opportunity!

ROBERT FARRELL Civil Engineer

For me, the main benefit of our workshop on Redbarn Beach has been the opportunity for a ‘time out’ to reflect on where I am at and where I am going, and where I am going in such an almighty hurry!

The material and explorations in the workshop sharply improved my awareness around issues of people skills, leadership and organisational structures and functioning.

The very specific tools to deal with difficult people were a pleasant revelation to me, they are proving of immense value both within work and outside. I would certainly have joined the workshop for these skills alone.
