Don't just take our word for it...

The Fit for Future programme unleashed a wealth of previously un-tapped creativity, latent leadership capability and an eagerness to pursue stretching ambitions. This has made a huge difference for us. Margaret was fundamental to this success. She is energising, inspiring, compassionate and person-centred in all she does.

I have heard fantastic reports of your recent mediation in a situation where the odds seemed to be stacked against that approach! That scenario is a great ‘ambassador’ for the cause of mediation.

I undertook the mediation training course with EQuita to obtain the skills to be a mediator. My thinking at the time was to be able to use this skill whenever a situation arose that required mediation most likely a couple of times a year. To my surprise the mediation skillset is something I find myself using daily in a very positive way from enhancing understanding of members needs through to engaging with members on problem solving. Mediation skills as I have discovered whilst essential for mediation are also a set of skills that enhances many aspects of my work daily.

I first encountered Margaret over a decade ago at the US/Ireland Legal Symposium in beautiful Westport. That initial meeting left a lasting impression. In the decade we have known each other, I have had the opportunity of working with Margaret and engaged her services as a mentor and as a trainer in negotiation mastery. As a lawyer, lecturer and consultant, I have developed and attended numerous training courses in a wide range of settings. Margaret’s course ranks as one of the best. Not only did Margaret skilfully shape my understanding of negotiation dynamics, she also taught me how to prepare for uncertainty. I now understand the analytical tools and interpersonal techniques for masterful negotiation, whatever the setting. Margaret has provided mentoring services to me in the past year in support of my various independent NED roles, in Ireland and the UK. Drawing on her wealth of board room and leadership experience, Margaret’s observations have been invaluable in helping me to be the most effective director I can be. Her extensive qualifications and outstanding professional experience aside, Margaret possesses unparalleled emotional intelligence. Margaret is an outstanding partner and one I look forward to working with in the future.

Working with EQuita and Margaret Considine is a focussed partnership of results-based collaboration in people development. We have had exceptional feedback from every programme each year. This is due in no small way to the work EQuita put in to understand and customise their design and delivery to our needs. The quality of their trainer is second to none in Ireland. EQuita are a preferred supplier of IDA and will continue to be due to their high standards and service excellence.

Congratulations on an excellent presentation on Persuasion this morning. It was very insightful and by breaking it down into practical tips it makes it much easier to implement on a day to day basis, both in a personal and professional setting. I could have listened to you and your panel of experts all morning!

The Equita Group Programme on Mediation has impacted my professional and personal life. In addition to gaining the unique qualification of Accredited Certified Mediator, this highly interactive programme has equipped me with the necessary tools and skills to constructively resolve conflict, whatever the setting. The modules are exceptionally well-conceived, with the right blend of theory and practical application. Margaret and Julie are exceptionaly skilled mediators and highly effective in cultivating the mediation mindset. They are truly committed to each student in the process and champion each individual in achieving their highest potential. I was particularly drawn to the small group numbers and benefitted enormously from consistent one-to one support and feedback throughout the programme. I would have no hesitation in recommending this course to anyone open to positive change in their professional and personal thinking and behaviour.

Margaret is a pleasure to deal with. No matter what the ask, the answer is always yes, and a solution is forthcoming. She is a very engaging, accommodating, knowledgeable, passionate, enthusiastic person and delivers world class training. She bought the best out of all our people and they all excelled throughout the Ascend programme. Ascend has provided us with insights into all the candidates and has identified clear future leaders for our Company, as well as a combination of people who collaborate and work as a high performing team. She keeps everyone engaged and it is a two-way exchange, which reinforces the learning. It is worth noting that this is a highly demanding industry and onsite work commitments can lead to a last-minute change. EQuita have always facilitated this. The pandemic has been a particularly difficult time and they transitioned the online delivery of Ascend with ease and broke the content from full day classroom training to a blended synchronous and asynchronous delivery; with a half day live online, pre-recorded sessions and pre and post work for each module. They are clearly a company who want to deliver the best for their client. We would strongly endorse EQuita as a training provider.

EQuita Consulting were well prepared and had a thorough knowledge of the topic of negotiation and strategic influence. I experienced excellent delivery skills from EQuita, who took a personal interest in ensuring that everyone got the best from the course.
