What Our Clients Say

  “I wish I had had the opportunity to take part in the Resilience & Mental Toughness Leadership programme at the start of my career! This has been the most effective and engaging leadership programmes that I have been part of.” 

Terry Robb, Head of Personal Banking, The Ulster Bank

 "Catherine McIntosh delivered a 6 workshop Resilience and Mental Toughness Programme to our senior leadership team. All participants greatly benefited from the programme delivered by Catherine and the one-to-one sessions with each of us at the conclusion of the programme. An added benefit was that, as a leadership group, we learnt a lot about what makes each other tick which will help us lead and grow the business together in the future". 

Ross Davidson Director Davidson McDonnell

 "Catherine's 6 month programme on Resilience and Mental Toughness was expertly delivered to our senior management team at a time of organisational change. She was adept at facilitating genuine, open discussions about the challenges that we face day to day, and gave us lots of practical tools and strategies to better manage stress and improve wellbeing whilst maintaining high performance and leadership standards. I would highly recommend the programme. Catherine is a joy to work with." 

Vicky Dummigan Director Davidson McDonnell

 "The Programme is extremely well structured and delivered in a very relaxed, yet focused manner. Catherine is an absolute pleasure to work with, and has the ability to be fully inclusive whilst also offering diverse knowledge and advice to individual experiences. I highly recommend working with Catherine and have learnt so many valuable insights into my own personal resilience and mental toughness that I am confident will benefit not only me, but the teams I work with. Thank you Catherine!

“With 32 years of leadership experience, I would go as far as to say that this is one of the best leadership programmes, I have ever completed

 Joanne Wilson, Head of Customer Service Delivery, Danske Bank

 "A great opportunity to step back from work pressures and reflect on what is going well and not so well and where improvements can be made. Also an excellent opportunity for bonding and sharing of experiences. The course was really interesting and very beneficial. " 

Barbara Creed, Head of Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution

 "The Human Leadership Skills Programme was one of the most thought provoking I have attended. Catherine was an excellent facilitator who brought her own knowledge and life experience to the group. The sessions gave all participants time to reflect on the concepts introduced and to discuss how they were practically adapted into a working day" 

Kathleen Simpson, Deputy Head of HR Belfast Metropolitan College. 

 "I have attended a couple of programmes with Catherine, with each I have learnt more about how the mind, and my mind, works which has supported me both personally and in my leadership role. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone." 

Kathryn Stewart, Skills and Apprenticeships Manager Belfast Metropolitan College

“The Leadership Programmes delivered by Catherine McIntosh have been incredibly beneficial for our groups of directors and managers. The programmes supported us to develop resilience and skills so that we could lead our teams from a position of strength. Fiona Byrne, Head Of Organisational Development Kilwaughter Minerals Ltd

  "I recently attended The Human Leadership Skills programme facilitated by Catherine McIntosh and I have to say, it was an absolutely amazing experience. Catherine is a knowledgeable and experienced facilitator who made the learning environment very welcoming and inclusive.

Throughout the course, we learned about a variety of concepts and theories related to human leadership and had the chance to engage in meaningful discussions and activities that allowed us to apply these concepts to real-life situations. Catherine was always available to answer questions and provide guidance, and she created a safe space for everyone to share their thoughts and experiences.

One of the things I appreciated most about the course was the focus on self-reflection and personal development. Throughout the course, Catherine encouraged us to think about our own leadership styles and how we can become more effective leaders. This was so helpful for me as I now have a better understanding of my own strengths and areas for improvement as a leader.

Overall, I highly recommend the Human Leadership Workshop to anyone looking to develop their leadership skills and become a more effective leader. It was an engaging, informative, and highly worthwhile investment."

Nikita Brijpaul, Business Development Manager, Belfast Metropolitan College.

"I attended a leadership programme delivered by Catherine McIntosh to a group of our senior leaders. It was fantastic to take time out and learn about how to enhance our leadership skills and our resilience and mental toughness."

Allana Patterns, Head of Organisational Excellence, Belfast Metropolitan College

 "Take a bow Catherine McIntosh for a riveting presentation this morning on how to build resilience and mental toughness for wellbeing, performance and a competitive edge!"

 Richard Carron, Carron Connected 

Catherine’s talk was one of the best I have been on in years. I had a truly light bulb moment in her session- like things finally made sense as I understood ‘why’ I felt the ways I felt in relation to motivation. It’s like I have been given a net, rather than a fish; this wisdom will help me in years to come!

Thank you so much again, the best hour of knowledge you could wish for, for a serial procrastinator!

Jo Kelly Learning and Development Officer, Welsh Parliament

"Catherine thank you so much for today's session. The feedback has been fantastic! So many positive comments on the tools that you provided our colleagues with to help them remain resilient, to become mentally tougher and to look after themselves first and foremost.....and ultimately to allow them to be the best that they can be."

“I would highly recommend The Chemistry of Wellbeing & Peak Performance series. Previously we were lucky if ten people attended our wellbeing webinars. Now our numbers are more like 200! The webinars are engaging and entertaining, backed by science and we always leave with easy practical ways to enhance our wellbeing and performance.” 

Philomena Clark, RPS. 

" I am so very glad I took the timeout to complete this course. Catherine has a great delivery style and very quickly made me feel so comfortable and safe in the space. By already building several of the habits into my daily life, I am feeling more aware, less stressed and generally happier, as well as sleeping much better than I have in many years. I have printed the plan which we created at the 1:1 as a focus to remind me of the little steps I can take to help myself. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Catherine! 

Susan McKeown, Hospitality Coordinator Belfast Metropolitan College
