Niamh Hannan Psychologist

Niamh Hannan Psychologist I help leaders unlock potential by building and repairing Emotional Connections at work I do this is through my unique approach, the Core Connection Code.

My way of working is about using evidence-based approaches in a soulful way that feels right for you. The Core Connection Code empowers you to evolve as a leader from the inside-out. Like the pearl in the oyster, your potential lies (often hidden) deep inside you. Where others focus on teaching you how to do more; the Core Connection Code focuses on your being, who you are as a leader and as a per

son. It works by drawing out potential, clearing any blocks or limitations in the way, and connecting you back to who you really are at your Core; your strengths, your confidence, your clarity; so that you can rediscover your power and ability to lead from a place of alignment and authenticity.

Do you avoid conflict?

Do you hate tension or difficult conversations?

What happens inside you when you withdraw and avoid the confrontation?

I have a simple rule for myself - if something (somebody said or did) is staying with me, irritating me or upsetting me: can I drop this and let it go? If yes, then let go. Move on.

But if it’s important to me and I can’t just let it go, then I need to find a way to address it, have the conversation. Because the alternative is that you end up carrying it around and it eats away at you inside. Inevitably that resentment leaks out at the other person anyway.

How do you deal with potential conflict?

Culture matters.

Gallop’s recent culture report shows that when employees and teams feel strongly aligned with their culture it positively impacts:

✔️ engagement
✔️ retention
✔️ health & wellbeing
✔️ performance

Gallop describes Culture as “the unique way that your organization lives out its purpose and delivers on its brand promise to customers.”

How connected do your people feel to your organizational culture? How much attention are you paying to this? As recently as this morning I spoke with a high-potential leader who left his last job quickly because of the culture; and is now settling into his new job where he is much happier with the culture. He is already more likely to speak well of this company, is more engaged, performing better as a result and more likely to stay where he is happy!

If you’d like to boost engagement and performance by making yours a happier healthier culture, get in touch for a no-obligation conversation.

Last week I had the pleasure of delivering an interactive workshop on Stress Management and Self-Care in UCD, and this was just some of the positive feedback received.

If you’re looking for an engaging facilitator to breathe life into your wellbeing at work, contact Niamh today.

“The course made me re-evaluate the pre-conceived notions I had about stress and stress management in a refreshing and exciting way!”

“Niamh provided an excellent and thorough workshop that covered not just how to deal with stress but also how to recognize when you’re actually stressed.” Adam

“A great session with a professional and very engaging trainer who gave me a great new insight into how to better approach and manage stress in my life. Thank you!”

“An engaging overview on all the key aspects of stress management and self-care with lots of different methods to suit everybody.”

Having everything turn out the way we want isn’t the recipe for happiness. Bad things happen to good people, all the time. But the ones who come out best at the end are those who can turn things around for themselves, or maybe even not interpret those things as ‘bad’ in the first place.

Happiness in life is much less about what happens to us, and much more about how we perceive and interpret what happens. The stories we tell ourselves, the way we talk to ourselves inside our own head. Our beliefs, attitudes and mindsets.

What is happening in your life that could be easier for you if you were able to ‘make the best of things’ as they are??

“We get on great!”
“I don’t want to have an argument”
“Everything is fine!”

Recently I worked with two company Directors who get on great together. Except that the only reason is because they avoid talking about anything that might cause a disagreement! Difficult conversations are totally avoided. So the relationship is great! No problem here. Right?!

If you’re distancing, avoiding or keeping your mouth shut to avoid an argument - it may not be outright conflict that is happening, but it is a disconnection in the relationship. The conflict is implicit. You don’t feel safe enough in the relationship to acknowledge your real feelings and speak honestly. Problems fester and grow underground instead because they are not being addressed.

If this sounds familiar and it’s happening for you in an important work relationship, then the chances are that neither of you are working to your potential, and the relationship certainly isn’t either.

Contact me today to start a conversation and rebuild and strengthen your workplace relationships - and watch your motivation and engagement soar.

Here in Ireland we’ll be tucking into lots of chocolate eggs and enjoying a bank holiday weekend (many even have today off so it’s extra long!)

Here’s hoping you get some time outdoors in the spring air (to walk off the pounds of chocolate 😜 ) and lots of fun and relaxation over the few days.

▶️ Where is your attention going❓

⏰ Where your attention goes, energy flows. Which basically means that we tend to direct our lives towards whatever we’re giving attention to. How much time do you spend focusing on problems, annoyances, stress or irritations??

✨ What might it be like for you to switch your attention more often into what you WANT to happen? Use your powerful imagination for the good instead of always focusing on what can go wrong. You might just find your mood is impacted for the better too.

LIMITED TIME OFFER!
For a short amount of time, I am offering Reconnection sessions at a greatly reduced rate of just €100pp. ‘What’s that?' I hear you ask!

If you are experiencing challenges in a workplace relationship, I will bring you through a safe, structured, science-backed process so that you emerge feeling supported and understood; gaining perspective, clarity and awareness. Taking approx 75 minutes, you will leave with a clear understanding of what is happening for you and why you are being triggered, as well as having a better understanding of what may be happening for the other person, and how you could better approach the situation. If the other person is open to re-building the relationship with you, it is even more powerful. I can work with 1 or both together to help you reconnect after a disconnection or even conflict.

This Emotional Connection process is new to Ireland and indeed Europe. It is very powerful - and I want you to be able to experience it so that you see the benefits for yourself.

Contact me today to discuss suitability for your situation. Don’t struggle on your own any longer, this doesn’t have to escalate or continue - let’s get your workplace relationships back on safe ground. DM me now.

Happy St.Patrick’s Day! 🍀

For a small nation, we make a big impact. As we celebrate being Irish today (or having Irish connections) the world over, I’d like to include all those who have made Ireland their home; and all those who have made their home somewhere else but carry some green in their heart. We’re a better Ireland because of the diversity we now have.

Let’s celebrate inclusiveness this St.Patrick’s Day 💚💚

Recently I ran a poll here and asked ‘What is the primary stressor for you at work?’ giving 4 options with the additional option of commenting if I had missed something that stresses you. Interestingly, nobody said ‘Too long hours’. 31% said ‘Heavy Workload’ was their main stressor. 29% said they were stressed because they felt ‘Isolated and Unsupported’. And 40% said ‘Difficult Relationships’ were the primary stressor.

Looking at these poll results, 69% of people who responded are struggling with their workplace relationships - because if you feel unsupported and isolated, there is a lack of connection there. This seems really significant - almost 7 out of 10 people are saying that their main stressor at work is down to relationships. How we bond (or not) with the people we work with. These are emotional connections, except we’re feeling disconnected. And that sense of disconnection from people we depend on, is stressful.

I can help. I am offering a free webinar next week - Wednesday 20th March at 1pm GMT - “Workplace Relationships: Understanding the Negative Cycle”. It’s a Leadership Masterclass - and you won’t want to miss it. Registration now open - click on link in below:

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to work with the fabulous Lucy Gernon. Lucy has worked with some brilliant international coaches, so I trusted my instincts and took a slightly different approach in order to better support and challenge her growth. After our very first session Lucy told me that even if she got nothing more, she had got her investment’s worth in that session. Lucy Gernon , it was a pleasure and a privilege 😊

Lucy Gernon

“I reached out to Niamh at a time when there was a lot of change happening in my business. I had "no time", but I made the time... for me. I needed a soundboard to help me to problem solve business challenges and help me organise my thoughts. Having a safe space and time carved out in my calendar to just process and plan was fabulous. Niamh brings the perfect blend of knowledge, empathy and practical suggestions. I enjoyed her style as it's not just "pure coaching", there was advice, tools and mentorship which really benefited me too. Thanks for everything, you're a wonderful coach.”

If you’d like to invest in your growth as a person and as a leader, contact Niamh today.

Studies have shown that when people don’t know how to connect emotionally, they can’t collaborate, communicate and solve complex problems effectively. In other words, unless you can successfully bond with the people you work with, you cannot perform to your potential. As the world continues to change, we have large numbers of people enjoying the flexibility of working from home. Workers have more autonomy – but there is also a growing sense of isolation, lack of connection to the team. Should workplaces be concerned?
