Everybody has a wealth of potential within. When people tap into their potential, it is only the beginning.

I'm Eileen Woodford,

I work with leaders who are navigating change and challenge. You might be stepping into a new leadership role for the first time, wondering how to manage both the technical demands and the people side of things. Perhaps you're an experienced leader but facing new pressures, or considering your next career move.

The best leadership development happens when you start from where you actually are, not where you think you should be.

How I Work

Every leader's needs are different. Some situations call for focused, solution-oriented sessions. Others benefit from longer-term coaching relationships. We typically begin with a chemistry call to ensure we're well-matched.

I use proven assessment tools when they add value, such as Leadership Development and profiling, 360 feedback, and Emotional Intelligence assessments. But I'm not wedded to any single methodology. What matters is creating an approach that works for your specific situation.

Emotional intelligence has always been central to my practice. It's often the differentiator between good and great leaders, and is key to developing the capacities needed to navigate an ever increasing complex world.

Working Together

I work with executives and leaders across Ireland, both on-site and via Zoom, depending on what works best for your schedule and preferences.

I've been coaching since 2006, helping people navigate change and become more effective leaders for nearly 20 years.
