Fostering Individual and Organisational Growth
The desire to be part of something greater, to belong, to add real value is innate within each of us. Every person, in every organisation, has the potential to grow and achieve more. As traditional ways of working change and ties to the physical office are loosened, maintaining team connections and organizational cohesion demand precise interventions. Our deeply experienced team of learning and development experts work to uncover the unique challenges and opportunities within each organisation, embracing each individual’s true potential and enabling each person to make meaningful connections and contributions.
For over 15 years, we have been honoured to partner every day with organisations and leaders from the BioPharma, Chemical, Medical Device and Technology worlds.

Our Tools & Interaction Activities
In addition to a wide range of team interaction activities that elicit authentic behaviours and emotions especially during problem solving, we use a broad spectrum of highly validated assessments. With a comprehensive data set on hard and soft skills, we enable individuals and teams to appreciate what they naturally do best and make effective development decisions for the future. We are a leading provider of Insights Discovery, having supported thousands of individuals, and hundreds of teams, globally across multinational organisations, and locally in Ireland, to achieve greater performance and more fulfilling relationships. Having helped clients gain greater self-awareness, we then introduce Gallup Clifton Strengths for a more robust conversation aimed at actioning their strengths for performance outcomes.
Our popular psychometric assessments include:
Discovery
A memorable model that uses colour to raise self-awareness, helping people understand their style, strengths and value to the team. Individuals will gain a common language that has wide-ranging benefits, including connecting colleagues across geographical and cultural boundaries and providing a safe platform for feedback conversations.
CliftonStrengths is an assessment tool by Gallup that helps individuals identify their unique strengths among 34 themes. It empowers individuals to understand and leverage their natural talents, fostering personal and professional growth. By focusing on strengths, CliftonStrengths enables individuals and organizations to build stronger teams and cultivate a culture of ongoing development.
A philosophy that encourages creativity and innovative problem-solving in teams and organisations. At the heart of this approach is the need to establish the conditions for the freshest thinking to surface. The techniques ensure everyone has a voice at the table and wisdom emerges.
Emotional intelligence is critical for building and maintaining positive relationships, resolving conflict and building resilience. This assessment (individual and 360) is an excellent way to get a picture of how leaders operate emotionally, areas of strength and potential areas for development. And there are many ways to develop EQ competencies.
