While management skills are important, they can only take a person so far.
To be at the top of an industry or profession, a person must be able to communicate like a leader. Effective communications is the most career enhancing skill anyone can have.
For more than 25 years, Athenry native Gerardine Lally of Lally & Associates has coached, trained, advised, and mentored senior executives, management teams, and anyone who works in a role in a company that demands continuous updates, host meetings, make presentations, customer reports, or is involved in bids or pitches.
Her client list reads like a who’s who of business and includes multinationals, professional service companies, and start-ups. She has advised on a number of very large infrastructure projects, coached bid teams, prepared for pitches and is a highly sought business coach who works in-house across Ireland, UK and USA. She shares her unique skills set, her practical no nonsense approach and years of expertise with participants who take part on her training courses.
Due to demand, she is running a special one day masterclass in high impact communications / presentation skills.
