Pat Griffith Executive Development

Home

Thank you for visiting my website and a warm welcome to you. Now that you are here I’d like to ask you a question.

“What would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?”

A good Executive Coach is not about being the guru who knows all the answers. A good Executive Coach is an attentive listener skilled in the art of appreviative enquiry, who understands that it is both an honour and a privilege to be of service to another person in a coaching relationship and that we are all students of the game of life.

Life is not a rehearsal. Life is about being present in the here and now and realising one’s own potential (or self-actualization as it is termed in the jargon). It is about overcomig our fears. Working with a compatible coach can be a truly meaningful adventure into discovering and owning your power.

“Our deepest fear is that not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” (Marianne Williams: Return to Love.)

My Services

I specialise in executive development including:

executive coaching at individual, team and organizational levels;
career management coaching;
emotional intelligence assessment (EQi) and coaching;
psychological and personality type assessments including MBTI and the Enneagram.

Good coaching encompasses the qualities of empathy, perspective, clear focus, objectivity and strength to challenge a coachee as well as the skills of attentive listening, sensory awareness, presence and incisive questioning. In my coaching I aim to marry all these qualities with my extensive business experience.

About Pat

I am a double honours graduate of University College Dublin with B.Comm and MBA degrees and a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland. My career has included twenty years as Financial Director of some prominent businesses in Ireland and fifteen years as a Senior Consultant working with development and training projects in the public and private sectors in Ireland, Europe, Balkans, Middle East, Asia and Africa. I have also been an Associate Lecturer at the IMI. Having spent a good deal of my working life in financial management I retrained and added a new dimension to my skills. I am a qualified business coach having taken a Diploma in Executive Coaching at the Irish Management Institute. I am also an accredited practitioner in a range of psychometric and personalityy assessment tests, including Emotional Intelligence (EQi), Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Enneagram.

I have huge personal learning experiences in my life which I see as a valuable asset for a coach. I regard it as a great privilege to be invited to share the inner world of a coachee in a working alliance results-oriented partnership. Coaching others towards achieving their potential is a two way win win relationship.

In short, I think it is fair to say that I have been there with the best and I can help you get there too.
