INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONALS IRELAND

---

My background

I'm a Career Coach and Trainer with experience supporting over 1,700 International Professionals on their career journeys and working with HR, business and recruitment professionals in Ireland. Although everyone has very different stories, I resonate with some of the challenges faced living in different countries, through another culture and language. having lived in Spain for 5 years and previously in Australia. I have a Degree in Anthropology, Spanish and English, and a Master's in Social Work and Migration Studies from UGR - Spain. I'm also a qualified Business and Executive Coach, Trainer, and Trauma Sensitive Yoga Instructor.  I love bringing my passions and values together, connecting people, coaching, languages and mindfulness together to support people in a holistic way.

Why I started IPI

I wanted to support people who didn't qualify for free government assistance and who needed more flexible career coaching options and more knowledge about recruitment processes in Ireland. I also empathised with many international clients and friends facing challenges including low confidence, underemployment, worries about professional English, visas, and having gaps or many different jobs on their CVs. I wanted to help people to see their own value and to build confidence and trust in their ability to find their own solutions, leading to increased motivation and energy levels, and towards positive forward action on the path to a fulfilling life and career in Ireland.

The principle aim of IPI is to provide individual career coaching to help people to connect with themselves, while also connecting to others, expanding local networks and opportunities and collaborating in win-win ways.

I use a person-centred approach, adapted to your unique strengths and challenges. You know best - and even if that's not clear right now, we will partner with each other, helping you to build more self-trust, self-knowledge and confidence. We will also utilise resources customised for international professionals and the Irish job market to support your career aspirations. Through personalised 1-1 coaching sessions, you will identify your goals, challenges, strengths and limiting beliefs, as well as strategies to overcome them, helping to reduce overwhelm and increase motivation to take the next small steps forward, to achieve big goals.
