Testimonials

Read what leaders from sport and business have to say about working with Seanie, and how coaching has helped them think differently, work through challenges and develop their approach to leadership.

I have enjoyed working with Seanie over the past few years. He brings extensive experience from working with both large corporates and SMEs, combined with a genuine passion for sport and community. That unique combination made it easy for me to connect with Seanie, both professionally and personally, and was one of the qualities I valued most in our work together.

Seanie has a natural ability to facilitate conversations that help you arrive at decisions you genuinely own and feel confident acting on. Whether through longer-term mentoring or providing support at specific moments, he adapted his coaching approach to what I needed, ensuring our sessions were always productive, focused and outcome oriented.

Decision-making can sometimes feel like a lonely process, but Seanie provided a valuable sounding board and a trusted sparring partner. His ability to challenge, support, and encourage in equal measure made a real difference to me and my decision-making.

David Grant, Chief Executive Irish College Leuven Belgium

“Seanie created a safe space for me to share certain thoughts, ideas, and feelings before and after matches and the questions he asked me helped me open my mind to other perspectives. In addition, I became more aware of my strengths as a manager but also aware to when I might be overplaying these strengths. Regarding skills, I improved the area of listening plus adapted to a less telling and more asking approach that really helped , as players became more engaged and began to share their viewpoint on how they saw a game. Very beneficial to the whole team”

Inter County GAA Manager 2026

My weekly meetings with Seanie gave me the space to step away from the day-to-day demands of managing a youth football team and think more clearly about my leadership.

As we prepared for an elite tournament, we worked through everything from managing players and staff to decision-making, communication and dealing with pressure. Having someone outside the environment to challenge my thinking and offer a different perspective was invaluable.

Chris Colhoun, Manager. Tyrone Super Cup NI

Working with Seanie over the last three years has been transformative both individually and for our collective team. During a period of tremendous growth and success, Seanie’s impact on our group has been invaluable.

On a personal level, Seanie acted as a “second set of eyes,” consistently offering constructive feedback and asking direct questions that challenged and elevated my own development as a coach and leader. His professional insight, dedication, and ability to drive performance make Seanie an outstanding asset to any Head Coach/Manager of a football team looking to reach the next level. I couldn’t recommend Seanie highly enough.

Caolan McDaid, Termon GAA Senior Manager

Seanie has been our coach and business mentor for several years. As business owners, we must manage both our own performance and that of our team, and his independent perspective has been invaluable. He challenges our thinking, brings clarity to our direction, and holds us accountable for turning plans into action. His understanding of people and performance also helps us navigate difficult conversations and support each team member effectively. As a result, we have created an environment where our people can thrive while remaining focused on delivering for the business and our clients.

Catherine McRory, Director. Baxterworld Accountancy

Seanie delivered an excellent sales training programme for our Customer Service and Sales teams, equipping them with practical tools and techniques to improve customer engagement and sales effectiveness. Seanie’s ongoing one-to-one coaching reinforced the training, increased confidence and helped embed lasting behavioural change. The combination of group training and personalised coaching delivered real benefits for our team performance and the business as a whole.

Mark Kellett, Head of Sales & Marketing. VSSCO

Working with Seanie has made me think much more about how I lead and the impact that has on the wider team. He challenges you to look at what you do well, where you can improve and how you respond when the pressure is on. I’ve found the sessions really useful in helping me adapt my approach and get more from both myself and the people around me. Seanie creates a fun and engaging environment where people are comfortable being open, while still being pushed to think differently and improve. It has been a very worthwhile investment in both myself and our leadership team.

Ryan Colhoun, Operations Director and Co-Owner. Trucorp

Seanie was instrumental in helping me successfully transition into my current people manager role, providing practical guidance and valuable insights throughout the process. Through his support, I developed stronger listening skills, learned the importance of open questioning, and gained greater confidence in empowering my team.

I continue to benefit from these learnings and would highly recommend Seanie to any leader looking to strengthen their management capabilities and accelerate their development.

Maura Langan, Commercial Technical Manager. Norbrook Labourites

I have worked with Seanie Meyler many times over several years. What is most valuable is being able to get in touch when I have a particular issue that I want to think through properly.

We may not have spoken for a while, but because we already understand each other well, we can get straight to the issue. The conversation helps me look at the situation from different angles and work through the choices available. I come away with greater clarity about what to do next. There is a clear beginning, middle and end to the conversation, without the need for a longer-term coaching programme.

For me, that flexibility is one of the strengths of the approach. I can get support when I need it, which helps me make the right decision.

GPA- Madden/Legacy Leadership Programme

Working with Seanie through the Jim Madden Leadership Programme was a hugely positive experience for me, both personally and professionally. Seanie helped shape my leadership style, giving me a greater understanding of myself, how I approach leadership, and how I can positively influence others. Seanie was always generous with his time, took a genuine interest in my development and had a great ability to offer new perspectives, challenge my thinking and encourage both personal and professional growth. He opened my mind to opportunities I hadn’t previously considered and gave me the confidence to believe in myself and create my own opportunities. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance, encouragement, and the lasting impact he’s had on me.

Conor Bohane Kerry Hurling / Kerry County Council / Movember Ahead of the Game

Working with Seanie was genuinely transformative. Through our sessions on leadership, performance and persona development, he helped me strip away what I thought a leader “should” be and develop my own unique leadership style. One rooted in who I truly am. He showed me that from vulnerability and courage comes growth, a lesson that has stuck with me both on and off the field. I came away more authentic, more confident and with real, lasting growth that I carry into every part of my life. I couldn’t speak more highly of Seanie; his insight, honesty and support made a phenomenal impact on my life.

Paul Sheenan – Down Hurling / Technical Account Manager Options Technology

Seanie’s approach gave me clarity on what was driving the reactive behaviour I wanted to change and has made introspection easier. We also went through practical methods to improve understanding and problem-solving in a way that was enjoyable and memorable.

Seanie was very engaged in our conversations and challenged habits in a way I found helpful, allowing me to recognise where I could improve. I also learned from Seanie’s knowledge of what industry leaders are doing, and he suggested ways to improve how I was practising in my own time.

Eugene McVerry – Armagh Footballer / Director at Grey Fort

Working with Seanie was fantastic and a really worthwhile experience. Seanie was open and approachable, and I instantly felt that I could speak freely and at-depth in our conversations. Our sessions allowed me to reflect on my behaviours, leadership and performance both on and off the field, building a level of self-awareness I didn’t have before. This personal development helped me in my sporting and academic career, but also in my day-to-day life. I was delighted to work with Seanie and some of the learnings and insights had a huge positive impact on me and are ones I still implement today.

Karen McGrath – Waterford LGFA Footballer / Postdoctoral Researcher UCD
