Helen S. - Financial Controller

I reached out to Anne-Marie for guidance on my future professional development, which I got!

Anne-Marie helped me identify what my long-term goals were, as opposed to interest or hobby areas. This symbiosis of personal decisions and professional outcomes showed me how to practically apply useful techniques for reflection and decision-making in my day-to-day, as well as expectation setting.

With her guidance, I rediscovered my confidence to proactively follow my own aspirations and skills, and after my second coaching session with Anne-Marie, I received a promotion from work!

I would strongly recommend Anne-Marie for her tools and techniques for progress & career evaluation that both inspired me and reaped results.

Operations Supervisor - Galway

I did the 4 weeks Ignite course with Anne-Marie. I had reached a stage of my career and life where everything felt stagnant. Anne-Marie has a gift for working with you to figure out exactly where you should be and what it is you really want to do. Her methods are subtle and delivered in a warm,  friendly and professional manner .During the 4 weeks I found myself really focusing on my career and life goals and the most importantly on how I was going to achieve said goals. 

Now, almost three months after completing the sessions, her methods still resonate. She has a genuine interest in her clients and helping them achieve their potential. I look forward to working with her again and would recommend her highly to anybody considering some career or life coaching.

“I highly recommend Anne-Marie to anybody who would like to have help building up the CV. Anne-Marie is genuinely interested in encouraging you to find out how you would like to be seen by the recruiters and what you want to achieve. She helped me to feel more confident in building my brand as a professional. Her guidance was the key to give my CV not only a better look but the punch it needed in order to get noticed. I truly appreciate all her advice and tips to keep growing, pushing myself and achieve my main goal”

CW - Snr Project Manager

I realised that I would benefit from some help in facilitating a pause for reflection and to help me deconstruct, evaluate and restructure my resume to be more succinct and direct. A much needed and well understood process provided by Anne-Marie. I’d highly recommended anyone that needs help to go through a ’stock take’ should reach out to Anne-Marie

HConnor

I began working with Anne-Marie after more than a decade long career break. I was struggling to figure out exactly what I wanted to do and how to go about achieving it. Through Anne-Marie’s skilful questioning and probing I began to unravel what I was really passionate about and where I would be truly happy. Her action orientated approach gave real focus and accountability and her insightful advice on my CV and LinkedIn profile helped me put my best foot forward. As a result of Anne-Marie’s mentorship and guidance I have recently set up my own Genealogy business and am very excited about what 2021 will hold. I would recommend anyone who needs an intuitive, understanding and dynamic coach to contact Anne-Marie straight away.

NK - HR Director 

I have worked with Anne Marie for several years. I have found Anne Marie to be highly professional and responsive to client needs. She is efficient and knows how to get the best from people. I highly recommend Anne Marie as a coach and HR Professional.

Snr Product Manager

I had a great experience with Anne-Marie and would recommend her. Our sessions have greatly changed my way of thinking, and I can manage what I once found to be very difficult and stress full situations with much more ease and understating now, allowing for much better outcomes. She helped me define and become much clearer on my goals, and coached me though getting them. I am now in a new role and am extremely happy and positive about my future career and goals. Working with Anne-Marie has been one of the best things I’ve ever done for my career and for myself

SMcG - Product Manager

I had a consultation with Anne-Marie recently, which focused on the direction of my career and starting a side business. I found the consultation really helpful as she really honed in on what I wanted for my future on a personal level and gave me really practical advice on the career front but was very motivational in terms of the direction I wanted to go in to stay in line with my long term goals, not only what makes sense in terms of getting a job. I think this type of service will be particularly helpful for people looking to go in an independent direction as it provides a source of motivation and clarity, and helps you set personal goals to actually ground your vision for what you want and make it happen. Will definitely be back to Anne-Marie for more coaching. Thanks so much!

Kieran – Sligo – Software Developer

I reached out to Anne Marie as I felt I was not moving forward in my current position. Through the sessions Anne Marie helped me realise the aspects of work that I truly enjoyed and had a passion for. From this I was able to develop a plan on where I see my future role and how to get it. These sessions have been invaluable in helping me find the direction I was looking for. I would highly recommend Anne Marie as a career coach.

Project Management (Contractor)

As soon as I engaged with Anne-Marie I was assured she was committed to providing a meaningful and constructive service. Having worked in a fast paced environment and dynamic industry for near on 15 years, I realised that I needed some help in facilitating a pause for reflection and to help deconstruct, evaluate and restructure my resume to be more succinct and direct. Following the personalised prompts and guidance given to me by Anne-Marie, I was able to work up a short and sharp personal brand and a fresh resume. A much needed and well understood process provided by Anne-Marie. I’d highly recommended anyone that needs help to go through a ’stock take’ should reach out to Anne-Marie

B Burns - Galway

From my sessions with Anne-Marie I have gained confidence and a sense of direction. She helped me to understand my strengths, my interests, my skills and the options open to me. Before my sessions with Anne-Marie I was not feeling very confident about work, she took the time to listen to me and I felt she had a real understanding of what I was going through. I am now much happier, clear and confident about my future. Again, thank you very much, it was great working with you…. thanks for the motivation and support. Change isn’t so scary when you find a good coach. Give her a try, you will have no regrets.

Snr IT Project Manager - Galway

Anne-Marie was an excellent coach for me at a difficult time when I needed focus and direction. She helped me evaluate and appreciate my strengths; consider alternative career paths; re-structure my CV; strengthen my LinkedIn profile and online branding, but much more importantly helped me become so much more positive in my outlook, not just in terms of career. She is a great listener and has great insights from her years in recruitment and coaching. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to reboot or just to take stock of their career journey.

Paul Forrest - Project Engineer

Having recently worked with Anne-Marie on a new recruitment position, I would not hesitate in proposing anyone to seek out her expertise in Career Coaching. For me, Anne-Marie stands out above others in her sector as someone who genuinely tries to match the right Candidate with the right Client. A key strength is her extensive knowledge of the local market place. This ensured, having listened and understood my needs, she was able to propose potential employers with the the right culture fit for me. The recruitment process was carried out diligently with true professionalism throughout. Anne-Marie provided regular communication at all times, bringing the process to a successful conclusion for all parties, in a timely manner. A job well done. Thank you

I availed of Anne-Marie’s coaching services at a time when I was really struggling with work-life balance. I wanted to progress my career and feel valued at work, but also wanted more quality time with my kids, my husband and a little time to myself. Anne-Marie helped me figure out my values and where changes were needed in my life, and to put a plan together to make those changes. She is a natural coach - non-judgemental, empathetic and a good listener, and provides simple but effective tools which really helped me see things clearly. I always enjoyed my sessions with Anne-Marie and would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone in a similar situation to my own.

O. S. Financial Accounant Galway

"When I met with Annemarie at the start, my main aim was to move forward in my current position. By taking the time with her and talking through what was it I really wanted, I realised that my current position did not meet all my needs. I ended up finding a job that I enjoy every day that satisfies my ongoing desire to learn new things whilst also providing me opportunity to work to my strengths. I found the sessions gave me time to actually think about things carefully and really discover what I wanted and what my priorities were. In today's busy world we often go on a path without proper reflection of why we are on this and what is the end destination. I found Annmarie to be an excellent listener whilst providing a lot of open ended questions that made me have to think about what ultimately it was I want. Since our sessions I often think back on them just to keep me aligned to my overall priorities and what it is I ultimately want. I would highly recommend Annmarie and this process".

Operations Manager - MWhyte

My time spent with Anne Marie during our various sessions gave me the self confidence in searching for the kind of job which I have been looking for. She helped me focus on what I wanted, and was interested in, rather than those mundane tasks which I was qualified for but no longer interested in. Our sessions gave me insight as to how employers view applicants and what is required to capture their attention. She is a happy and confident person, and these traits filter through to give me confidence in my own abilities. Anne Marie is skilled at her profession and I would recommend her to anyone who feels they require help and assistance in their job or a change in career.

Product Manager - SG

Working with Anne-Marie was a wonderful experience from the start. Upon our first meeting, she put me at ease and almost immediately increased my self confidence by pointing out the highs and positives in my career so far. By pulling our conversations together, she was able to build a CV that I am so proud of and would not have been able to create on my own. Moving forward, I feel so much more confident about new career steps that I am more capable of making thanks to the work with Anne-Marie. 

JH - Project Manager

Anne-Marie was a great help to me as I was looking for direction and purpose in my career. She helped me recognise my strengths, reset my career goals and generally feel a lot more positive!

CG - Financial Accountant

I was in a job for almost 20 years so had no experience of the current recruitment/job market. My CV hadn't been updated for the same length of time. I was nervous about looking for a new job and what it all entailed. I spoke to Anne-Marie for the first time over the phone and explained my current situation. She put me at ease straight away. She told me the whole process and what she could to for me. Straight away i was put at ease. Anne-Marie was both very friendly and professional and helped me out more than she knows. She helped me out updating my CV and putting my skill set forward . She gave me techniques that gave me the confidence in interviews. She also checked in on me after to see how i was getting on. I would definitely recommend Anne-Marie Fox Consulting In three words: Professional Knowledgeable Friendly

Director - Galway

Anne Marie worked with me through the pandemic which was a challenging time for all.  Anne Marie helped me focus on my skills as a manager particularly my communication skills while transiting my team to remoting working.  She also supported me in respect to my career path.  If you are in a rut or at a crossroad in your career, Anne Marie is will support you on your journey.  She is a great coach. 

James - Quality Manager

"I contacted Anne-Marie to get an idea of what career change option she could offer me. She was quick to respond with some open job specs and feedback on my CV. I was in my previous job for some time and not sure I wanted to make a move. She made me very comfortable with the application, interview and contract review process. I felt I was in control of my application and that she was working to get the best possible result for me. She gave me excellent advice, was very timely with communications, not pushy and I felt that her experience was strong enough to get the best deal for all interested parties. She knew how to get the deal over the line and worked hard to get it done. I would definitely recommend talking to Anne-Marie when thinking of advancing your career."

I wanted to take a minute to offer my congratulations and thanks for sourcing this candidate for our organization. You did in a matter of weeks, what we couldn’t in a matter of months. I found you to be both amazingly personable and professional. You asked poignant questions early in the process to understand our needs and immediately went to work, sourcing a very scarce talent/ As I’ve had limited experience with international searches, your support & guidance through the process was personally fruitful. You offered insightful suggestions at various stages, and I found the quality, quantity, and frequency of your communication to be spot on. You struck a perfect balance between representing the needs of both of your clients and in the end, ensuring everyone came out feeling like a winner.  

C.H. HR Manager

Working with Anne-Marie is an absolute pleasure, she gave me clear focus and direction along my career path in the most respectful and professional manner.

I am really grateful for your guidance over the 4 sessions. It really is amazing what this has done for me, and I cannot believe that things worked out the way they did. A lifelong dream of mine has been achieved, I strongly believe this is a direct result of the change in mindset. I recognise that I had laser focus on achieving this and had the burning desire to see it through.

A. M. - Galway - Ignite Coaching program

"I was looking for a career I could settle down with and grow my expertise with. I had contacted multiple recruiters looking for a particular career path. Nobody understood what I wanted and kept sending me on the same generic roles that ten other recruiters had sent me on. I actually had stop looking for a new role and got contacted out of the blue by Anne-Marie. She had found me a role that I doubt existed at this stage. She was very polite, helpful and always contacting and keeping me up to date, including nights and weekends. She prepped me so well for my interview, and gave me all the required information and more. From contacting me first and having two interviews it took about 3-4 weeks and I had my dream job. No messing and trying to push other careers paths on me, straight to the point.

S. F. Engineer - Galway

I just wanted to thank you for the preparation you gave me for the interview I had on Friday. It went smooth and all the fears I had were gone since the minute I started talking, it was a success and I got the job, I can not be happier.
