Communications training
“Margaret brings her unique style of energy, conviction and clarity to bear on a wide range of subjects, having that unique ability to gauge the needs and attitudes of ordinary people and reflect them back in her common sense, plain speaking style.
She is an engaging presenter, and a passionate advocate of transparency and clear communications, the need for which has never been greater than now across political, social and corporate life in Ireland.”

“Margaret did a highly professional job for us of chairing a conference on the current economic crisis. Featuring high-profile economists and a specialist audience with strong views, the role of chair required both people skills and an excellent grasp of the topic. With her solid knowledge of economics and her ability to use clear language, Margaret was able to steer the debate and keep all the loose ends together without losing the audience or the speakers. We were delighted with feedback from participants.”

“I recently had the pleasure of inviting Margaret to participate in a series of briefings to our Independent Group of Senators (Taoiseach’s Nominees) in advance of Budget 2012. I invited Margaret due to her background in financial journalism, her experience as a small business owner and her reputation for telling it like it is. As anticipated, Margaret’s presentation was both refreshing and well researched. She has a unique ability to communicate the human dimension of budgetary and financial implications. I value Margaret’s expertise and appreciate our ongoing collaboration”.
