“Aoife is an incredibly experienced data analyst with a particular interest in workplace fit and employee experience. Her work in academia and her lived experience throughout her career, provides a solid basis for her work and her business Happier at Work / Empowerment Coaching. Having collaborated with Aoife over the past year on a few projects, her work ethic is exceptional and her ability to decipher the data is amazing. Creatively Aoife has the knack of seeing beyond the obvious and really making the most of your research and data to get the maximum benefit from it. Her work on Imposter Syndrome and breakdown of the dynamics of it are a real revelation to those trying to understand it and their own personal experience of it. I would be happy to recommend Aoife to work with you or your organisation if you are inspired to create a great workplace and ‘happier at work’ employees.”
