My Story
Roddy Feely, Principal Consultant
I am a seasoned executive coach and business consultant with over ten years of experience, bringing a wealth of expertise and a proven track record of success. My core competencies include leadership development, executive and leadership team coaching, business strategy, change management, and performance improvement.
​​​
I specialise in designing personalised coaching programs that enhance leadership skills and strategic thinking, ensuring balanced and sustainable growth for my clients. I work closely with both C-suite executives and senior leadership teams to help them develop the skills needed to operate more effectively and efficiently as a cohesive unit.
My Approach
I am known for my strong empathetic listening skills, adaptability and unwavering commitment to high ethical standards. My approach centres on building deep, collaborative and trusting relationships with my clients, where open communication and continuous feedback are paramount. I inspire those I work with to reach their full potential, leading to marked improvements in leadership effectiveness, organisational growth and employee engagement. My ability to rapidly diagnose the root causes of challenges facing businesses, senior leadership teams and individual leaders is embedded in everything I do.
​
​My diagnostic skills have been refined through countless hours and multiple engagements with senior leadership teams across a wide array of industry sectors and markets. This experience has enabled me to build an extensive memory bank of business patterns that I can quickly draw upon to transition businesses from their current state to a desired future state. My work goes beyond solving immediate challenges—it lays the foundation for lasting, positive change within organisations. I am driven by a deep motivation to see my clients succeed. I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs and cultures of each client, providing the necessary support and expertise to navigate real-time challenges and seize new opportunities.

My Background
