“Clare’s technique is the best I have come across. Her success rate is second to none!”

I was fortunate to have sought Innovate Togethers valuable coaching expertise at a most crucial time when I decided to embark on a new career path. Clare’s coaching and interview preparation played a significant role in my progression to a senior medical position in a short space of time. Clare’s sensitive approach enabled me to work through difficult options, identify areas for further development and giving me confidence that I could take on challenging academic courses and maintain a balanced lifestyle. Clare’s coaching was excellent during the period when I was transitioning to senior roles. I have no hesitation in recommending InnovateTogether and Clare as a coach.

2. I recently worked with Lorraine as part of my preparations for a senior leadership position in An Garda Síochána. I found working with Lorraine a pleasure and I got real value from her years of experience as a senior leader. Lorraine has a real flair for coaching and mentoring and was a massive help in my preparations throughout the competition. Working with Lorraine put me in a state of readiness for interviews and identified pertinent areas to focus on. It gave me confidence in advance of interviews, which I feel is vitally important in order to be relaxed, self-assured and ensure the Board gets to see the qualities you can bring to the position. I would highly recommend working with Lorraine in preparation for any position.
I have recently benefited from the advice and support from Lorraine with a promotional application. Lorraine is very professional and thorough in her approach. She provided meaningful insights and feedback to me which aided my progress. I am very happy to recommend Lorraine because I know that she will make a positive difference.
I found Lorraine to be outstanding. Her advice, assistance, support, knowledge and emotional intelligence, was, without doubt, exceptional and tantamount to my progression within the competition. In addition, Lorraine’s attention to detail, presentation and engagement was phenomenal. From a personal, self – development and learning perspective, I rate Lorraine at the highest level.
Where Lorraine saw something different in a person, she exposed it, explored it and encouraged it. Lorraine has had a positive influence in my personal development for the past 13 years and many more over her career since I have known her. She has never sought acknowledgement or praise but has a genuine deep interest in people. As an administrator, communicator and a manager who delivers results, Lorraine Wheatley was and is a visionary.

This is particularly important for mid-level and senior roles. We suggest at least two coaching sessions during this time.

When the job you are interested in is advertised, contact us as soon as possible so that we can guide you on your CV or application form preparation.

For other roles shortlisting is completed based on the quality of the CV or application form and criteria determined by the employer.

Interview preparation can be undertaken in one or more sessions. The amount of time required depends very much on the level of the role. It is very much an iterative process and involves understanding the role and the competencies as well as building your confidence and agility for the interview.

Some roles require a second interview. Very often this includes the candidate making a presentation followed by questions and answers and a second interview. When you are successful, we also can provide initial coaching to get you up and running in your new role,

The important thing is that we have a flexible approach to working with you regardless of what stage of the process you engage with us.
