CLARE O CONNOR
I spent 15 years as an engineer, ten of these working on oil tankers at sea as a marine engineering officer. Breaking the mould, defying gender stereotypes and traditional roles.
I have been working with individuals and organisations for the last five years on career development and employee engagement. We all deserve to be in a career and role that we enjoy, excel in, and we deserve a supportive partner to challenge and mentor us, that is where I come in.
15 years of engineering taught me a lot, and I still follow a structured approach based on sound principles. This ensures that the desired outcome is achieved.
In my ten year career journey to Chief Engineer, most often as the only female on the ship, and in my following engineering experience, my time was spent organising teams, developing strategy, managing crises and implementing change.
I now use frameworks tailored to each client, professional or organisation, so that they get the very most that they deserve, and are capable of.
In my career the engineering and training professions, grew organically side by side, both domestically and globally in over 30 countries. I believe in a professional approach, technical capability, ethical values, and heartfelt communication. I have extensive experience in engineering and later, training and development environments and roles, project management and contract management.
I have worked in a range of companies from global corporations to non-profit organisations. This unique combination of roles in a variety of sectors allows a rare insight into the requirements of an organisation to empower and engage their employees resulting in improved business processes and efficiency. I deliver strong and engaging training experiences, tailored to the requirements of the organisation.
I have been there, I have had dreams and ambitions, fears and doubts and I am thriving. I have changed industries, careers and pivoted many times, which is why it works. I have coached and trained across a wide variety of industry sectors including Engineering, Manufacturing, Maintenance, Utilities, Non-profit, Education Professionals and Start-Up Entrepreneurs, to name a few.
This professionalism and experience comes with me to every client, business and project I work on, supporting you to grow and achieve your goals in your career or business.
