Meet Siobhán Bradley,
Principal Coach and Consultant

As a qualified executive, life and conflict coach, an experienced facilitator and trained mediator, I am passionate about coaching and facilitating individual leaders and teams to become effective collaborators and innovators in delivering on business and change goals together.

My background and qualifications in Change, Organisation Development and Strategic HR consultancy has led to a particular interest and expertise in coaching teams and organisations flex to changes and create environments where people can thrive.

I really enjoy the work I do with individuals and managers at all levels in organisations pursuing various career, life and leadership goals.

This builds on a business practice background in senior roles leading teams in government, in consultancy in the areas of strategic HR, L&D and strategic communications. In the past 25 years, since my formative years in entrepreneurial companies in Ireland and the US, I have built strong, open partnerships with clients and associates, supporting them to achieve better outcomes.

Meet Benjamin Szabo,
Principal Change Consultant

I am passioned about making organisational change smoother for our clients. With twenty years’ experience in project and change management, I had exposure to a wide range of organisation development and transformation programmes in various industries.

I have worked in many different roles during my career, including service delivery, sales, people management, quality and project management, giving me a holistic view of how different teams work and interact with each other within organisations. I use Business Process Management tools and frameworks to improve this interaction and improve strategic outcomes.

Making employees aware of their impact on performance is part of both organisation development and business process improvement initiatives. I use coaching to develop that awareness, as it is the perfect tool to balance logic and emotions equally.

I strongly believe that in our ever-changing business environment, when uncertainty might feel overwhelming, companies can still thrive. We in OpenTalk dedicate ourselves to support the change and development journey of organisations through custom-built services and solutions.

Testimonials

“My experience with Siobhán has been hugely beneficial. It has helped me gain better insight about my strengths and weaknesses and triggered me to look at what I want from my career – and how I can achieve it. Siobhán adopts a non-judgemental approach, is encouraging and constructive, and is an powerful listener.”

Michael C, Senior Manager in an international bank

“I had a series of coaching sessions with Siobhán over the course of a year. Each session we focused on a particular career concern I was working through. Her probing questions directed me to the path I knew was right for me and I left every session with more clarity on finding a way forward. I’d highly recommend Siobhán as a coach. She provided clear guidance and support.”

Sarah Curran Associate Director DBFL Consulting Engineers

“We worked with OpenTalk to develop a performance management system fit for the needs of our 1200 staff and a programme to highlight their critical importance to strategy delivery in DLR. OpenTalk have an in-depth knowledge of local government and its structures and they clearly understand the greatest asset to local government is their employees who need to be treated as individuals and not as one. Their spread of expertise in change, HR, strategy, performance and people development was also essential to the success of the project and we now have a model that really works for our staff. If you are looking for consultants who are hands on, that support, engage and breed life in the project then OpenTalk is the a company I recommend.”

Jason O’Sullivan, PMDS Manager, DLR

“Coaching with Siobhán allowed me to explore what I really want to achieve in my career and life and find a way to put thoughts into actions. Her open, supportive but challenging approach encouraged me to believe in my dream and take practical steps to move closer to it”
