Testimonials

Our work together allowed me to find myself and become a leader. When I started working with Connor, I was resigned to the fact my life was on a safe track, and while it was helping others, it was not the track I wanted. I wanted to run, kite in hand, and let my ideas and imagination soar with possibilities. Our work gave me the space to explore my vision and face my challenges, especially where I got in my own way. I began to take a leadership role in my life and seize the opportunity. I have gained absolute clarity about what I want and grown confident in making choices that align with my values and honour my life purpose.

Connor is a leader who has a humble listening, is committed to your growth, who cares about intimate details and can help you create a vision that looks beyond the horizon. By being with him, I have discovered what commitment is. His leader's voice is always clear and honest, knowing how to name what is needed in each moment.

If you are overwhelmed by life or your workload, or looking to set out in a new direction, either professionally or personally, Connor is the right person to help you who take control of your life.

I was burning the proverbial candle at both ends and often felt like I was taking two steps forward and one step back – I had no work-life balance: I felt like a cork bobbing in an ocean, totally adrift!

Connor created a chilled, calm space so that I felt safe and in good hands right from the beginning. We identified what my root problems were and we co-created the path to unearth my solutions.

Connor always had my back and nurtured my confidence to find my own path forward. His gentle, provocative manner had me leaving each coaching session full of optimism and positive energy.

I now approach new challenges with more ease and confidence.

Caroline Diamond, Executive & Leadership Coach, Diamond Clarity Coaching, UK (www.diamondclarity.co.uk/)

Working with Connor, I turned a corner. Not in a dramatic Eureka!-moment, but by laying down foundations and bricks of insights. Being generous with his questions and curiosity, Connor took me out of my comfort zone and challenged me on beliefs that I held to be true. By a process of what I would call gentle sparring, I was able to achieve a wider perspective and break a pattern marked by inertia.

Eoin McGrath, Director, Advocacy and Quality of Care Department, European Bone Marrow Transplant Agency, Spain

Connor viewed me as a unique individual and created a coaching programme specific to my needs. His approach was thoughtful, thought-provoking and encouraging, as I clarified my values, goals and how to best achieve them.

Above all, it is my mindset which shifted: for the first time I really understand what is important to me. I would highly recommend coaching with Connor to anyone who feels they are a little "lost" and needs a challenging partner to support them to design the life they want to live and make the choices needed to get there.

Connor McDonough is an outstanding coach. He is one of the most courageous, deeply wise, and compassionate human beings I’ve had the privilege of knowing. If you are yearning for more truth, vitality, and freedom in your life, and more power, ease, and authenticity in your leadership, I strongly recommend working with him.”

Elizabeth Ellis, PCC, CPCC (www.wholelifecoach.com)

Connor is an intelligent and charismatic leader. Over the years I have worked with him, I never found myself wanting any more. Connor comes with an authenticity and an infectious energy that will bind your team and take it to the next level and beyond.

James Whishaw, Founder, Whishaw Coaching, UK (www.whishsawcoaching.com)

When I first started working with Connor, I was stuck and did not know what I wanted. He helped me expose the limiting beliefs which were holding me back. I developed a new sense of awareness about myself and my goals. I discovered the career I truly wanted rather than one based on the stories I had been telling myself. Our work opened my awareness to the many possibilities my life holds. I left every coaching session with tangible actions to take which helped me safely stretch out of my comfort zone.
