Cathy Kelly Sweeney

My coaching enables leaders to elevate their executive presence by shifting attention away from self-critical performance thinking and towards inner confidence, conviction, and clarity of purpose.

I believe that at the heart of successful businesses are empowered leaders who are passionate about what they do, confident in their abilities, results-driven, and who can communicate and collaborate effectively with stakeholders.

My approach helps leaders to be more authentically themselves and deepen their awareness of presence, how they show up and how they’re experienced by others. I provide a safe learning environment blending my natural intuitive abilities with my knowledge and experience, where they feel both supported and challenged to create subtle shifts to elevate their impact.

I bring 25 years’ experience in the fields of marketing, leadership, training and coaching, hold a Bachelor of Business (Hons), and have an Advanced Diploma in Personal, Executive and Leadership Coaching. I am an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and an Accredited Coaching Practitioner with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC).

A little bit more about me & my background

Opening myself up and having the desire to develop my self-awareness, coaching and leadership skills was a game changer in my career. Doing things the way I’d always done them – people pleasing to the point of exhaustion, unwilling to delegate fully, afraid to take risks for fear of failure, being overly self-critical and thinking I had to behave in a certain type of ‘corporate way’ was holding me back and resulted in burn-out and a lack of fulfillment with my work.

Through coaching I learned the skills to:

  • Effectively manage priorities so that I was spending more time on the most important and strategic areas. Resulting in less stress, improved performance and a greater sense of well-being 
  • Communicate well – getting my point across clearly, confidently and with impact. With the assertiveness to speak up about issues in a constructive way.
  • Lead better and empower my team. Adopting a coaching approach meant we were more goal oriented, focused and accountable with a greater sense of trust and support among team members  
 
  • Play to my strengths and manage my inner critic. With increased self-awareness I knew how to leverage my strong points whilst having the confidence to ask for support with my weaker areas. 
  • Be myself and enjoy what I was doing a lot more. I found it easier to trust myself, make decisions and leverage my natural intuitive abilities instead of dismissing them
  • Discover meaning and purpose in what I was doing which gave me more focus, energy and fulfillment
