What Others Have Said:

I thought that the course was fab. You are a really effective trainer. I tend to go to a lot of seminars, talks and training so I interact with trainers all the time but your whole style and method was just in a league of its own. It wasn't rushed and you had everyone so relaxed, it was just great!

I enjoyed the training day greatly and it clarified several key things with me and prompted contemplation in helpful directions.
The course was well paced with ample involvement from our side. Everything was explained very well, with the right tone for the audience I thought. The fact that you were using very concrete, powerfully simple concepts, some of which could have been misrepresented by a lesser speaker, were delivered in an accessible and down to earth manner, allowing your continual insights to never become tiresome or
trite and each time to prompt thought and consideration. Not a small achievement or ability in my book!
All in all a very enjoyable, worthwhile and thought provoking day.

Since completing my series of Executive Coaching sessions with James, I am more efficient and effective at work. I am achieving more whilst at the same time being less stressed about it. I am now able to work through tasks and challenges that would have troubled me in the past, with a greater sense of ease. My organisational, time management and communication skills have all improved. In my view anyone who wants to be more effective in their role would benefit from the type of coaching James Sweetman offers.

The course was nothing short of fantastic. I am confident that as a result of this Presentation Skills course I will now actually enjoy giving my regular presentations. James was fantastic. He was approachable, accommodating, informed and informative. I’ll be recommending this course to colleagues. Very beneficial.

James' ability to think clearly and succinctly was invaluable. I developed skills required to confront certain work issues, including identifying more appropriate and effective ways of communicating.

James Sweetman delivered a number of workshops at the National College of Ireland. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. 'Increase awareness and focus', 'enhanced motivation' and a 'willingness to take action' were some of the comments shared by attendees. James' style of delivery encourages participation and creates a cohesive and relaxed environment in which to learn. The experience was best described by one student as 'thought provoking, powerful and memorable'.

This is the most appropriate and accurate personal development that I have ever experienced and it will stay with me.

Working with James was like working with my better, rigorous conscience. It was his ability to think clearly, and address issues in a step-by-step approach that allowed the impasses in my business life to disappear. I made progress by dint of this tenacity, leaving each of our sessions feeling good about the prospect of achieving realistic goals. In summary, it was a great personal and professional exercise which has been rewarding and worthwhile.

After only three sessions, I began to develop a deeper belief in my own inner ability to achieve my ambitions. The sessions provided me with clear objectives. Analysing my strengths and weaknesses, realising what was stopping me from achieving more, I developed strategies to turn these apparent weaknesses into signals for me to believe in myself even more. Establishing clear goals and writing down my goals, helped focus my mind on realistic targets for the future. The energy I wasted on worrying is now spent on 'doing'. The techniques used to develop my confidence, were not only benificial, but also great fun.

The executive coaching services provided by James Sweetman & Associates is a must for anyone that believes they are entitled to a successful fulfilling career without having to sacrifice or compromise the quality of their life. Executive coaching helped me to take stock of where I was, where I was going and most importantly where I want to go with my life and career. The process was made all the more effective and enjoyable by James's intelligent approach and encouraging and supportive style, for which I am genuinely grateful.

Speaking with James enabled me to step back and objectively assess some big career and personal decisions that I faced. The coaching process made me realise where my priorities lie and it was also a tremendous boost to my confidence. Six months down the road, my business is thriving and at the same time I have a great balance between work and family life.
