Boost your productivity and wellbeing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Productivity Coaching?

Productivity Coaching focuses on helping individuals and teams to lean into their potential by helping them to realise that productivity and wellbeing are two sides of the same coin.
Productivity Coaching uses cutting edge techniques to focus on both external impact (your decisions and actions) and internal state (energy levels, feelings, mental clarity), recognising that both are key to achieving your full potential.

I help people to really understand their strengths on a deeper level, and to appreciate how they can make most effective use of them in what they do, how they do it, and in how they collaborate with others. Effective collaboration amplifies everyone’s strengths and compensates for blindspots.

When we have a deeper appreciation of how the mind and the body work together, we can manage ourselves so that we have higher energy levels, more emotional resilience and greater mental clarity.

I enjoy the complexity of working with teams. Teams are made up of individuals and high performing teams emerge from an understanding of the strengths of each team member. As each team member understands their own strengths and those of their colleagues, they individually and collectively amplify their own impact and compensate for their own blindspots. The whole quickly becomes greater than the sum of the parts.

I do enjoy sharing what I have learned with others. Conference talks include ESRAD 2023 and Beyond the Brain 2023 speaking about the relationship between energy and consciousness. I also deliver talks on how to improve wellbeing and impact in the workplace.

On a physical level, you will have more energy, greater emotional resilience and better concentration and focus. Your perception of yourself and the world around you will change, putting you firmly in the driver’s seat of your own life. You will waste less time and energy on things you have no control over and will get more done in less time by focusing on the things that really matter.

Grainne’s support made a remarkable difference to my wellbeing. She helped me manage burnout during a crisis and provided tools to make me feel resourced and supported.

Grainne has been instrumental in helping me balance my work and home life more effectively. She gave me frameworks, offered thoughtful questions, and relevant resources that helped me feel grounded while managing competing priorities, making this balance not just achievable but sustainable.

Beyond Brainstorming: Unleashing Collaborative Innovation’ was a real game-changer for our team! Grainne McAnallen and Andrea Langlois created a space that went far beyond conventional ideation, guiding us through powerful techniques that shifted our perspectives and unlocked new levels of creativity towards a shared challenge.

Their unique approach, blending group dynamics with deep, purpose-driven exploration, helped us connect not just to ideas but to each other in a deeply transformative way.

We left the session feeling re-energized, together stronger, and equipped to tackle a challenge, and future challenges with fresh insight and innovative thinking. 

This experience is a must for any team ready to take their collaboration to new heights.

My coach Grainne guides and nurtures all of me, as a leader and as a human being.

I am the co-lead of a team of 89 FTEs in Europe, going through an internal change process in Europe and I highly appreciate Grainne’s professional background. She knows what I am talking about when I tell her about the challenges in my leadership role.

Her powerful coaching enables me to look at my challenges from different angles. I love the unique mix of tools and methods Grainne brings to our sessions – always showing up with her heart and mind. She lives her values and her teachings. We structure my organigram, we put major topics or colleagues into constellations so that I can see more clearly where I stand thus being able to act in a more thought through way. Grainne guides me through Yoga Nidra sessions that empower me on stressful days. I particularly enjoy it when Grainne takes me on a visualization journey that enables me to go so much deeper and discover hidden solutions.

While the value of our work goes far beyond finances, the increased clarity, confidence, and effectiveness in my role have positively influenced my professional growth and long-term earning potential. 

I communicate more clearly, manage challenges more calmly, and approach complex situations with a solutions-focused mindset.  I understand people more and speak to them in terms they understand.

I feel less overwhelmed, more grounded, and better able to manage stress. Grainne’s approach helped me build resilience rather than simply pushing through pressure.

I highly recommend Grainne to anyone looking to develop professionally while maintaining balance and wellbeing.

Grainne and Mark [Harrod]’s work with our senior leadership team at The Young Foundation created a genuinely safe and productive space for us to work on some of the key issues relating to culture and ways of working, both within the leadership team and more widely.

I can wholeheartedly recommend their approach, their professionalism, wisdom and empathy in this work.

Grainne skilfully helps individuals and teams tap into a hidden energy, resource, wisdom and power to reach new levels of productivity and performance. 

She brings a wealth of her own knowledge, wisdom and techniques to resource the people she supports and does so with a calmness and energy that is always welcomed. 

Grainne has a super style, she is an individual who puts individuals at ease whilst also being able to ask the questions which will open up both the individual and team thinking.

She also has an innate curiosity and therefore researched all the key information which would enable us to consider some key questions and get some key answers!

She is a skillful influencer as not everyone on the team was originally supportive of our approach but now recognise the value of the work we have done.

I think the proof is in our results, we have surpassed our wide ranging goals.

Personally I am truly grateful to Grainne for her support as initially I was the person driving this change, the great thing is that it is now owned by the team which speaks for itself.
