Our company has had the pleasure of working with Maeve Conroy of Critical Points for the past two years. Maeve has developed a bespoke Management Development Programme for our company and this has been a huge success and very beneficial for the development of our management team. We have covered a wide variety of areas such as Leadership, Creativity and Performance Appraisals to name but a few. Maeve has also delivered Quarterly offsite days for the team annually as well as standalone training days for smaller groups. Maeve has conducted executive one-to-one coaching with our leadership team. Maeve has come to understand our business and has built a strong rapport, not only with the team but with individuals also. She knows everyone on the team by name and takes a keen interest in them and their development. Our management team has developed in many areas in the past two years and this is attributable to Maeve and her expertise and coaching style. Maeve will always go the extra mile, has a very personable approach and is a pleasure to deal with.
Maeve Conroy of Critical Points brings a very deep and thorough knowledge of leadership, development and coaching, coupled with an engaging, compelling style to provide practical and impactful learning experiences. Her style is not the typical ‘front of the classroom’ approach. Instead she brings participants on a journey of learning and discovery that is fun, challenging and effective. I recommend her highly for training that really makes a difference.

I found working with Maeve to be an invaluable experience. During our coaching sessions she helped me identify where I should best focus my efforts and ultimately what was important to me on both a business and personal level. She challenged me around limiting beliefs I held, but at the same time provided a very supportive environment within which to work. Her expertise in transactional analysis plus her own professional experience gave me important insights into how to be more effective in dealing with the wide variety of people and behaviours found in a large organisations.
I can’t recommend Maeve strongly enough
I have been working with Maeve over the past 6 months and her coaching support has helped me meet and exceed my professional goals. I will continue to explore my potential with the skills Maeve has taught to achieve all my ambitions.
