“Séamus has enabled me to understand the incredible power available in the English language to shift perspectives. It has already proven to be effective with my clients!”
Margot Metcalfe – International Coaching Week – Coaching on the Catwalk – Grammoursly Glamourous Coaching in Action – May 2022
“The Core Coaching Skills for Teachers, Trainers & Educational Management course opens the mind of the teacher to Coaching, which reveals itself as a fundamental mindset for any human relationship and more so in teaching. The savoir-faire and methodology used by Seamus makes this intensive course a one of a kind learning experience that leaves an indelible imprint on every attendant. The high degree of personal insight and awareness is paired with the level of close intimacy achieved in individual activities and pair and group coaching conversations, all of which are practised within a code of ethics that ensures confidentiality. With this course, you become aware of skills and resources that are useful in all social relationships and especially in teaching, and you get the chance to put them into practice and receive high-quality feedback from colleagues and from an expert coach.”
Carlos Moret Molina – Core Coaching Skills for Teachers, Trainers & Educational Management – October – December 2021
“Séamus’s course has provided me with an amazing insight into the world of coaching and its application in all areas of communication, in both professional and personal contexts.
The discoveries and learnings gained from the carefully prepared content have been extremely valuable and have made me want to continue to explore and put into practice what I have learned about the power of coaching as a tool to facilitate growth and enable others to achieve their potential.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the skill and expertise of Séamus himself, who is a master of communication, an exceptional coach and teacher trainer, who orchestrates the whole process meticulously yet effortlessly, motivating the group and encouraging us to “climb to the top of the tree” in all walks of life, connecting with that higher purpose which we all strive for.”
Anne-Marie Powell – Core Coaching Skills for Teachers, Trainers & Educational Management – October – December 2021
“Seamus is a rare kind of coach, in my opinion. His ability to listen with an open mind and heart is just a starting point. Seamus has a capacity to distill insight and awareness with attunement and powerful language, and he has a keen ability to draw out the power in my own language. He holds focus and structure that frees up the coachee to meander paths of meaning, knowing that we will laser in on what it is important and get to the path (or back to the path) we need to be on. He masterfully applies NLP concepts that have opened up ways of thinking that have not only impacted me as coachee, but as a coach and trainer, too. His ability to carry forward points of importance and learning from previous sessions into new sessions is especially valuable. One particular thing I credit Seamus with is that he has invited me to expand what is possible, and to create a vision that is ever-evolving in significance, resonance and potential. Through Seamus’ coaching, I operate with a deeper sense of learning and acknowledgement, and also a focus that has led me to achieve personal and professional goals that have not only enriched my life but have expanded and deepened the value of the work I commit my energy to.”

“During the ICF Global Coaching Week, Séamus offered us a session presenting a smart tool that gives a structured and playful approach for the difficult moment of defining a goal. He offered creative idea so that you can dig deeper into what really matters to you. The session was completely experiential, with very positive and realistic outcomes to move forward. Thanks, Séamus, for your energy and generosity.”

“You can never be disappointed when you attend one of Seamus’s seminars. Not only do you walk out with a load of knowledge, but also infused with great motivation and energy that last way after the seminar is over, and encourages you to take action to improve your experience as a teacher and as a person. He is incredibly generous with his knowledge, passionate in delivering his ideas, and sincere in his drive to help teachers walk through this challenging and beautiful profession.”
Graciela Di gionantionio – Inspiring Your Learners To Shine – Webinar – November 2020

Anthony Everest – Inspiring Your Learners To Shine – Webinar – November 2020
“I have been attending Séamus’s courses, webinars and sessions for many years now, and they have always been helpful and inspiring. I recommend them to all the teachers who believe in this profession as one of the most important ones and for those who may have lost their inspiration because of the millions of difficulties they have had to face on this journey.”
Maite Calvo – Inspiring Your Learners To Shine – Webinar – November 2020

“I have participated in numerous workshops about teaching development, but Séamus’s Returning with Resilience & Resolve webinar was engaging, informative, and concise. I gained practical skills and great reference material. I will definitely attend his next webinars and group and one-to-one coaching sessions”
Marina Rubio – Returning with Resilience & Resolve Webinar – September 2020
“Once again Seamus has delivered a passionate coaching session that has helped me to get grounded, to re-center myself and be better focused to face the new course. As usual, he has shared extensive material to review and work with, much of which can be used as material to work with the students as well, so that his session can have a multiplying effect.”
Carlos Moret Molina – Returning with Resilience & Resolve Webinar – September 2020
“Séamus, I would like to say a massive thank you to you. I found our sessions together incredibly powerful and rewarding, and I am moving forward with projects in my life that had been stalled for quite some time. Not only that, but it’s had an unexpected knock-on effect on other areas of my life, for example, I took out a gym membership and have been swimming almost every day, so my health is feeling as well-looked after as my mind at the moment! The energy and positive outlook I have on my life right now is, I know, down to the fruits of our sessions, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for this.”
Anthony Everest – Educational Coaching – July 2020
“Working with Séamus has been extremely valuable and helpful to me. His advice, his challenging and value-centred style have helped me to know myself much better and to focus on what really matters and has real impact. He has provided me with the resources, techniques and guidance I needed to implement effective habits and actions to improve in my working life.
Seamus is full of energy and possesses the ability to create interpersonal connections that made our sessions very friendly and communicative. Our work together has enabled me to be a more effective manager and I am very thankful for it.”
Pablo Moraleda – Business Coaching – March 2020
“Seamus offered me a place of comfort where I was able to be truly introspective and find answers to long standing questions. He helped me see things through a perspective that wasn’t clear before, allowing me to find my answers with support and guidance. I’ve been able to move my business forward and find greater clarity in my worth through Seamus’ support.” Ever grateful.
Caryn. NY, USA – Business Coaching – February 2020
“Today’s session has been interesting in many different ways. It has taught me new vocabulary, phrases and useful expressions. Moreover, it has given me great ideas to use with my students in class. It has been a pleasure to join the session because of the great people taking part and the amazing capacity of the teacher to get us to think and enjoy learning.”
Maite Calvo – Sensationally Speaking – November 2018
“I began working with Séamus two years ago when I was leaving my life as a Translation Project Manager behind and decided to prepare the public examinations to work as a teacher. He helped to focus on the preparation and to keep my motivation high during the whole process. I felt very supported since he provided me with many innovative coaching tools to make me reflect about my goals and inner resources, as well as to stay calm and control stress. Séamus is a talented, natural coach. His guidance challenged me to think beyond just the job goals and adopt a wider vision of my life.”
Anastacio Santana Fernández – Group Coaching for Opositores – CDL Madrid- October 2018
“Seamus has been the greatest support during the long and exhausting process of preparation of the competitive exam. He has been extremely supportive whenever I got in a rut; offering Skype sessions with activities and practice to help me get back on track. The activities and exercises he delivered were helpful to make me tap into the right mindset and attitude to face the process of preparation. Additionally, he did not hesitate to listen to my concerns about the competitive exam and with his expertise helped me stay motivated and focused”
Marga García – Group Coaching for Opositores – CDL Madrid- September 2018
“Con toda sinceridad puedo decir que Séamus fue un factor clave y decisivo para poder afrontar de forma exitosa mis oposiciones de profesora. Estuvimos trabajando un año, y juntos pasamos por muchos estadios y siempre supo adaptarse a mis necesidades, mi tiempo, e incluso en varias ocasiones prever qué era lo que más necesitaba. Con él he trabajado muchísimos aspectos esenciales para sobrevivira mis oposiciones (y digo sobrevivir, porque quien ha opositado, sabe lo duro que puede llegar a ser), desde la gestión personal hasta técnicas para controlar los nervios, entre tantas otras cosas que Séamus puede hacer a través del COACHING. Destacar, que tanto profesionalmente como personalmente, es una persona excepcional y que sin su ayuda no hubiera podido sacarme las oposiciones. Hice el examen sin nervios, tanto la parte escrita como la encerrona; y durante todo el año, trabajamos duro para nunca perder de vista esos “anclajes” tan importantes y necesarios que todos tenemos pero que a veces no verbalizamos y pasamos por alto. Séamus es una persona extraordinaria, optimista, lleno de energía, profesional, ingeniosa y respetuosa que puede sacar lo mejor de ti, tanto a nivel profesional como personal.”
Sara Santos Hurtado – Group Coaching for Opositores – CDL Madrid – September 2018
“He sido alumna suya durante estos dos últimos años y tengo que agradecerle muchas cosas, entre ellas su simpatía, cercanía y sentido del humor, su humildad y profesionalidad porque no se cree en posesión de lo absoluto. Por su dominio de la materia, porque sabe transmitir, con su peculiar ritmo y divertido dinamismo, todo lo que él sabe y desea que nosotros también lo sepamos. Derrocha generosidad al cuidar cada detalle, cada escucha activa, además del respeto y cariño con el que nos trata a todos y cada uno del grupo. etc. Es de agradecer que haya profesores de esta índole ya que la ñoñez y sutil tergiversación que existe en estos campos NO forma parte de su metodología. Y también por su continuo ansia de saber más y formarse mejor cada día.”
Sabrina Galán Tapia – PNL para Profesores – CDL Madrid – Marzo 2015
