“I had the pleasure of meeting Deirdre Foley when she came on board as an external executive coach for a Leadership Development program we were undertaking. From the start Deirdre built strong rapport and trust with Leadership and their extended teams. Deirdre demonstrated perceptiveness in questioning and giving feedback at an individual level and was a skilled facilitator for our team workshops. Through Deirdre our leaders received tailored development plans and their teams were coached to become high functioning and effective. Deirdre is a rare coaching find, and someone I would hope to work with again in the future.”

“Over the course of a year with Deirdre’s coaching, Deidre enabled me to shape and implement a set of personal objectives that have grown my leadership skills in ways that surpassed my expectations. She created a challenging but safe coaching environment and asked incredibly insightful questions to pinpoint areas for change that I wanted to action on. As a coach, Deidre is a phenomenal listener and she combined it with her experience to help guide my discovery to what really was important to me, even when at times it seemed unclear to myself. The techniques and approaches that Deidre has shared with me have enabled me to continue to improve long after our coaching programme. These skills and conversations will stay with me forever, as I have found great comfort and success in my personal life too from what I learned from her. Deirdre has a rare gift to bring out the potential in people through coaching and guiding their self reflection, turning it into action and results.”

“I've been lucky enough to have been coached by Deirdre for several years. In that time I have experienced an immense growth in my understanding of myself, my motivations and talents. I have also, more importantly become aware of my self imposed limits, unhelpful strategies and blocks to professional progress. To have the opportunity to work with Deirdre is a gift. She is obsessed about the best outcome for you. She wants you to do your best, be your best self. She is wise, astute, pragmatic and when required, firm. She gets results and makes it a great experience along the way.”

“I approached Deirdre for coaching and guidance in the lead up to a big work-related decision. She guided me very effectively, supporting me to be strategic, confident and definite.

“I worked with Deirdre over the period of 6 months in 2019. During that time, she helped me figure out how to address specific work challenges (i.e. how to get buy in for projects I was leading, how to understand the motivations of different stakeholders etc.) She also worked with me to think about what I wanted from my career, together with how it fit within my overall life. She asked excellent (challenging) questions that made me reflect on these topics and held me accountable to putting in steps to address them. I hope to continue working with Deirdre in the future.”

Team coaching
Senior Teams ready for the next level of performance
- Is your team a high performing team?
- Would you like to bring your team to the next level in terms of performance?
- Are your team looking to improve and enhance how they operate and work together as a team?
Strategicfox understands the complexity and challenge that Senior Leadership Teams face. Many teams can get stuck in the ‘business’ that needs doing, but don’t find the time to think about how they are working together. Team Coaching provides the space for the team to reflect on how they are they are working and behaving as a team, and particularly how they are interacting and collaborating together. Working with a team coach provides that opportunity to be coached as a unit and to determine together the steps they need to take, to move forward together as a high performing team.

“Deirdre is a very talented coach, she is curious, driven, emphatic and one hundred per cent focussed on getting you to be a better professional version of yourself. She is relentless in her pursuit of shaping your thinking around who you really are. Despite the challenges of change Deirdre manages to be your guide, facilitates you through difficult questions and shapes you to be more professional, more self aware and ultimately a more rounded person than you were when you started. Working with Deirdre is a great investment to make in yourself.”

Interview coaching
Get the roles you want
As we progress in our careers, our values and what is important in our working life may change and evolve – possibly as a result of coaching. Therefore, when we find a role that we want and get through the initial application stages to reach interview, it becomes ever more important to get the roles we want.
At StrategicFox, we are passionate about helping individuals to ‘nail that interview’. We have worked with executives who are looking for senior level positions across multiple domains, both private and public. The interview coaching process includes a two-hour session to give you time to reflect and consider:
Your presence and impact,
How to describe your career progression,
Your signature strengths and challenges,
Your leadership style and
Clarity on why you are the right person for this role.
At the end of the interview coaching session, you will have had time to consider all of the above, and ultimately gained the confidence to be successful.
