The Home of CARVER Coaching and Performance in Education

We had the pleasure of having Paul deliver a workshop to our staff on ‘Journaling for Wellbeing and Performance’ as part of our Croke Park hours. In an industry that is often homogenous, Paul was a breath of fresh air. He is an extraordinary communicator and engaged everyone in the room for the whole of the workshop, which is no mean feat after school hours. Not only does Paul think differently to most of us, but he has a wonderful ability to make the people in front of him think a little differently too.
As teachers we often stagnate and stop trying to improve our craft early on in our career but Paul made us all reflect on how we could maximise our own individual performance as teachers. He made us contemplate what our core teaching philosophy was. I have never seen a room of teachers as energised after a presentation. If you want to improve staff morale, performance and think a little differently I would highly recommend Paul’s workshop.

We were delighted to have Paul Kilgannon of CARVER Coaching & Performance deliver an interactive and fast-paced workshop to the 4th year ATU School of Business students, on the Bachelor of Business in Marketing & Sales programme. The theme of the workshop was ‘In Unity there is Strength’.
The key focus points Paul explored were the importance of self-identity, the architecture of team dynamics and the process of working together to achieve results. Paul shared hugely important learnings and life skills for our final year students.
Paul’s delivery style was fun and engaging and the students thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Each year I book a workshop led by Paul Kilgannon from CARVER Coaching and Performance, for our Transition Year students; it is an exceptional experience. Paul’s workshops are always incredibly informative and well-guided, allowing students to deeply engage with the material.
His ability to create a reflective learning environment always stands out, as he fosters a space where can thoughtfully process and discuss their learning experiences. One of the most valuable aspects of the workshop is Paul's introduction to journaling. This practice has significantly enhanced the students’ self-awareness and personal growth.
Additionally, Paul masterfully balances group work with individual activities, ensuring a comprehensive and interactive learning experience. Overall, Paul's workshops are a perfect blend of guidance, reflection, and engagement, making them a highly beneficial experience for all participants

It was a pleasure to have Paul give a guest lecture to our first-year sports & exercise students. His lecture which centred around the CARVER framework was insightful, engaging and thought provoking. His knowledge on how to apply coaching science theory to practice is exemplary.
