Who are your coaches?
Aideen Dunne: a Certified Leadership Coach, Secret Writer and Poet, Dragon Boat Paddler, Mom of 2 and Spiritual Seeker. Aideen worked for many years as a Leadership Coach and Trainer in a large multinational IT company.
‘I did the Artists Way twice in the last few years. It was something I promised myself as a treat when I took a break from work and I wished I had found it years ago. I have discovered stuff inside me I never knew was there – poems, stories. Words of many flavours are my thing. I found ways back to music which was a huge part of my life when I was young. Now I have a powerful group of Artists Way people that I meet with once a month.’
Anne-Marie Curran: a Psychotherapist with Human Givens, a Mom of 2, an Image Consultant, blogger, knitter, amateur jewelry maker, fashionista and a colourful and creative woman with a desire to bring more colour and creativity to the world.
‘Through my work my aim is to help people identify which area of their lives is not working and guide them holistically to find a solution to improve their lifestyle. I run workshops in-house in schools & companies on Mindful Wellbeing. Building Resilience, Exam Anxiety & coping skills. I attended the Artists Way twice and found it a very enriching supportive space to keep me connected to my writing and crafting.’
