I had the pleasure of attending a number of Tadhg’s leadership programmes as one of the cohorts of ADNOC’s Future Leaders programmes. He is an absolute gem of an instructor. I benefited and enjoyed every second of his programmes. Tadhg was insightful, engaging, and his content knowledge on the subject matter was most impressive.

Tadhg is one of the most professional leadership development experts I have ever worked with. His passion towards people development is exceptional and he is one of a few experts who drive leadership development to a different level due to being close to the business and his understanding of transformational culture requirements.

I had the pleasure of working with Tadhg on a major executive development programme which was being developed and run in partnership with London Business School. Tadhg’s focus on participant experience, programme impact and quality of delivery was unwavering throughout. His engaging and professional delivery of material also kept participants positive and engaged and he had the ability to keep the team’s energy levels consistently high. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Tadhg and hope I have the opportunity to work with him again.
James Crow
Director in Executive Education at London Business School
Tadhg’s ability to weave appropriate psychometrics into executive leadership programmes is most impressive. His facilitation and teambuilding skills are of the highest order. Tadhg engages in associate thinking, level-shifting, and pattern recognition when planning activities. A true professional in his craft and a joy to work with.

Principal, Heidrick & Struggles,
Dubai, UAE
Recently Tadhg engaged all my team members in a teambuilding workshop incorporating the topic of trust. I was most impressed with his engagement levels when presenting the four cores of credibility, the thirteen consistent behaviours required in building trusting relationships, and the associated practical activities. My team also greatly benefited from his ABCD trust questionnaire. A very impressive performance from Tadhg.

VP Research & Technology, ADNOC
I managed Tadhg during his four years at ADCO (recently re-named ADNOC Onshore). His strategic contribution to Emiratisation was immense. His ability to integrate executive leadership with talent and succession management was most impressive. His delivery on executive leadership programmes exceeded business school standards. He devised many new leadership interventions for our executive leadership development framework, and received exceptional feedback from participants and key stakeholders.
Ayesha Al Mheiri
Vice President Succession Planning &Mobility, ADNOC
Tadhg is a real pleasure to work with. He understands the landscape of leadership development very well, and is therefore able to intervene impactfully in designing learning journeys – “perspicacious” is the word that comes to mind. He is extremely results-focused.
