What My Clients Say

Since 2021 we have been partnered with Paraic and KeenEdge Consulting for Executive Coaching, Emotional Intelligence development, Team Coaching, and Workshop delivery.

Paraic has made a very positive impact on our European, US, and APAC based teams both professionally and personally which si why we continue to partner with him today.

During that time, Paraic has gotten to know our culture and ways of working so that our people can best maximise their existing strengths even further. I look forward to our continued partnership growing stronger into 2026 and beyond.

I carried out an emotional intelligence assessment with Paraic of keenEdge Consulting earlier this year.

I found the assessment an extremely helpful tool for both self-development and self-awareness.

Paraic’s approach and style of how he facilitated the assessment was really refreshing.

I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others

Emotional Intelligence Assessment Testimonial – Billy Harkin, Owner at Urban Survey Middle East

The professional coaching I experienced from KeenEdge Consulting has been transformative for me.

Paraic’s coaching approach is characterized by his unwavering empathy, trustworthiness, and exceptional listening skills. From our very first session, it was evident that he genuinely cared about my development and well-being.

One of the most striking qualities of Paraic’s coaching is his remarkable skill in challenging me to stretch my boundaries. He pushed me beyond my comfort zone, encouraging me to explore new perspectives and tackle challenges with greater confidence.

Perhaps the most transformative aspect of my journey with Paraic was the significant boost in my confidence. I have ceased doubting myself and have found a renewed sense of self-assurness.

I cannot recommend Keen Edge’s coaching services enough. If you are seeking a professional coaching service that truly delivers results, look no further than KeenEdge Consulting.

Paraic ran an interactive workshop covering what existing wellness practices support us as individuals daily, and a guide through practical tools and techniques that we can adapt to support us in our day-to-day.

“Paraic is a skilled facilitator, allowing each of the team to participate on their own terms. The session was insightful and based on real actions the team could take to manage and improve their wellbeing”

“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paraic and KeenEdge Consulting to any company looking run a similar session. We will continue to work with Paraic into the future.

Facilitation Testimonial – Niall Mullally – Head of Digital Customer Experience @ Musgrave Group

As an independent and unbiased support, Paraic provides time and space by actively listening which may be difficult to find in the workplace.

I have found Paraic’s coaching style and challenging insights invaluable. Initially I didn’t fully appreciate the potential in working with an Executive Coach. Working with Paraic clearly demonstrated the benefit and has given me a different point of view.

“Paraic is tireless in his support in making new habits stick. He has enabled me to grow, grow the team I lead, and improve my management style, while creating a stronger sense of awareness as a leader in a fast-growing company.

Paraic and I have been in a coaching partnership since late 2021, during that time my role and responsibilities have changed following a promotion from Product Head to VP of Product.

1:1 Coaching Testimonial – David Long, Product Leader, New Jersey

“I attended Paraic’s ‘My Self Care’ workshop and loved it.

He led us through a Wheel of Life exercise which I found so insightful. I’m far more aware of how I’m approaching my self care throughout the week now, without putting too much pressure on myself like I did before.

Already feeling so much better.

Thanks Paraic!
