"Having worked with Ronan over the course of 2 years, I would have no hesitation in recommending his programs to teams in any field. He took a group that was already quite successful and opened up room for improvement and growth that we probably didn’t realise was there. By connecting with each of us on an individual level, but never losing sight of our collective goals, his input was invaluable in unlocking our potential."
"I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Ronan for several years now. Most recently, Ronan has been working with the Operations Leadership Team in Clúid to build our connectivity as a team, delve in to how we work together and how we can create a high performing environment to achieve our vision. Like many, Ronan has a rich knowledge from an academic perspective however this is linked with an innate ability to connect with people in a group environment and a special understanding of how to design a safe space for people to achieve tangible, sustainable outcomes. Ronan cares deeply about the people he works with, brings all of himself to his work and prepares meticulously in order to maximise the value for all."
"Ronan’s work with the Irish squad proved to be extremely valuable and worthwhile. He facilitated players to build stronger relationships, to be more open with each other, to show vulnerability, ask questions and be curious. This helped build an excellent environment."
"The businesses that create an environment for its people where those people can be themselves are the ones that are going to succeed. They will attract the best talent, they will retain them for longer and they will benefit from their contribution and loyalty. In my experience most businesses and the majority of leaders don't know how to create these environments. That is why the skillset and experience that Ronan brings is of such inherent importance to any organization that chooses to work with him. That is because he can accelerate the creation of the aforementioned cultural conditions that allow people to thrive individually and collectively. Ronan has over the last decade worked across elite sport, with young people and adults to hone a skill set that is very rare and highly valuable. If you are a smart leader and want the type of environment in which your people can thrive and do their best work then Ronan is the best investment you could possibly make."
"Ronan's session was like nothing any of the staff on the Global Business Solutions team here at Google had experienced before. Ronan seamlessly unlocked communication bottlenecks, and forged a genuine sense of team purpose and connection. The wider team left feeling refreshed, unified and optimistic. The overwhelming feedback was that this session was significantly impactful on a personal and professional level."
"I was fortunate to meet Ronan 3 years ago. Ronan was introduced to the Dublin Senior Football team in 2019. It was an extremely important year as the team were chasing history by becoming the first team to win 5 All Irelands in a row. Ronan’s part in formulating thoughts and discussions around the team's purpose and deeper meaning were hugely important to the team eventually achieving history. I have no doubt that Ronan’s work with the group was one of the key factors that allowed this group to perform at a higher level when the pressure was at its highest."
"Winning teams achieve peak performance in a few ways. By players feeling ok enough to be themselves, having robust relationships with teammates, and understanding each-others 'why'. Ronan’s witty, authentic and direct style allowed us to deeply tune in to all of the above. It helped us to foster a culture of honesty and cohesion for the season ahead."
"I’ve been lucky enough to work with Ronan on several projects, and I always leave in awe of his abilities. Ro manages to balance a holistic and caring approach, with evidence and research to back up what he talks about.
He is a rare breed of facilitator that can deliver exceptionally high quality, impactful work right from day one. Ro draws on his experience working with youth to make his work engaging but is versed enough in business for it to be relevant to adults in the corporate and sporting arenas.
He captivates the rooms (or screens) with his facilitation, but somehow manages to make the participants the centre of all his work. A trait that takes incredible skill and years of hard work to successfully navigate.
Can’t speak highly enough of him; I am a better facilitator, and man, because of Ronan Conway."
"Ronan facilitated a ‘Team Connection’ workshop with our Women’s U17 Drogheda United team. We were hoping for a team bonding experience but we were blown away at how brilliant the workshop went. Ronan helped the team to open up with each other about their motivations, ambition and goals, to help them have a better understanding of each other and a shared vision as a team. The impact that was made that evening has been visible in our football performances and we can see a real togetherness in our team ever since. Ronan showed a great ability in helping the girls to open up and he created a safe, comfortable environment for them to be able to do so. The workshop was extremely beneficial and I would highly recommend it to other teams."
