HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
CYNTHIA STEELE

President & CEO

" Siobhan has been a very useful touchstone and resource as I transitioned from the #2 role to being CEO at my organization. I have reached out to her particularly around thorny human resource and organizational culture issues, and there has been no shortage of those with COVID impacts, hybrid work, the “Great Resignation” etc. These are challenging times to be leading an organization – there is no playbook for managing the new normal of work – and Siobhan has been a thoughtful sounding board and provided invaluable perspective and counsel. I especially appreciate her focus on asking good questions, and encouraging that practice in me, and in providing useful examples and resources from elsewhere. "

" Creating a winning culture and positive team environment was always an essential priority when opening my business. After a successful first year, I wanted to keep the momentum going. Being in leadership positions my entire life, I was confident in my ability to manage a successful team. AND..after working with Siobhan, I learned that I can lead my team more effectively by matching comprehensive office goals to each team member’s specific level of wants and needs. Siobhan gave us the tools we needed to understand and communicate with one another in a productive way. Which led to establishing an intentional office culture that we still harness momentum from to this day. "

“ Siobhan O’Leary is an exceptionally talented Mentor and Coach. She has been instrumental in shaping my career and my subsequent success over the past 10 years. Siobhan is positive, encouraging, and brings a dynamic energy to all her work. She is not going to agree with everything you say! Coaching is not about someone being your best friend, it is about identifying your skills, abilities, and untapped potential and developing goals and a support system to get you there. She will not shy away from an opportunity to push you past your fears. Siobhan always acts with the highest level of personal and professional integrity, she will always do the right thing. ”

The tools that she shares for approaching challenging leadership situations are easy to remember and highly effective. This experience has been transformative for me. Highly recommend! "

" Coaching has been one of the greatest investments I have made in my professional career. The time spent with my coach and self-reflection afterwards has made me a better leader, employee and person. I have grown tremendously from professional coaching and would highly recommend it to anyone willing to put in the effort to improve. "

“ Siobhan created the cultural foundation that has grown into a living organism where people really really enjoy their colleagues. This is one of the few places, the only place, that I can say I really enjoy working with every person. After new employees work here a for a few weeks, they agree and experience the values and culture. ”

" Siobhan is one of the best communicators, motivators, and leaders I have met in my 30 years of business. She has the ability to think strategically and determine how to deliver the message in the most effective manner. Whether speaking to a group of 100 employees or a smaller meeting with senior executives, Siobhan will deliver the proper message and achieve the best results better than anyone I know. "
TONY McHALE​

" Siobhan is a true hospitality professional. She is extraordinarily well connected, has strong leadership skills and the confidence and ability to get things done. All this points to a strong understanding of our business and the natural ability to coach and mentor teams in house or externally as an Executive Coach. "

“ I just wanted to take time to say how much Siobhan has inspired me throughout my journey with convene. She gave me hope and fueled my desire to do/be more. I have never seen someone so loved by every single person they interact with. This is no doubt a testament of the sublime character you show and a perception fueled by an empathetic vision. ”
