Fantastic day was had with David, the training is extremely interesting and valuable. Would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend David’s Insights Discovery workshop. The session was engaging, practical, and very well delivered from start to finish. David created a relaxed, open environment that encouraged everyone to participate and to really think about how we work and communicate with each other. I particularly enjoyed David’s interaction with the group. David made the content easy to understand and relevant to our day-to-day work, while also keeping the session interesting and enjoyable. It was a very worthwhile course and I came away with a much better understanding of different working styles and how to communicate more effectively. I would strongly recommend this workshop.

David is very engaging, knowledgeable and passionate instructor.

The StrengthsFinder session that David ran for our global leadership team was incredibly impactful in bringing together a new team, identifying individual and team strengths to accelerate effective collaboration. We held the session as a kickoff on the first morning of our offsite and it really helped set a tone of openness, valuing all inputs and especially highlighting what each leader brings to our team. I have since observed the team using the language of their strengths in working together and in building out their personal developing plans in terms of how they will achieve their short and long term goals.

awesome coaching, learned so much about myself and others learning and working styles. Thank you David

David’s session on building high-performing teams inside 3SIXTY Leaders Club was nothing short of exceptional. His depth of knowledge, engaging approach, and ability to create a safe, open space for discussion made a huge impact on our members. The fact that so many women felt comfortable asking questions and diving into real challenges is a testament to his expertise and facilitation style. If you’re looking for someone who not only understands the mechanics of high-performing teams but also knows how to connect, engage, and truly empower leaders, David is your guy. Our members walked away with tangible strategies and a renewed sense of confidence in their leadership. Highly recommend!

David and his team were outstanding! David really took his time to understand our culture and created a safe and engaging environment to learn, laugh, and connect. DISC is a new tool I'm happy to continue using for both professional and personal relationships. Thank you David for your time and expertise :)

We invited David O’Grady to facilitate a CliftonStrengths workshop for our Global People & Organisational Development team off-site in Galway. The session gave us practical insight into how our individual strengths show up — not just within the team, but also in how we collaborate with key stakeholders across the business. David’s facilitation was clear, engaging, and directly relevant to how we work. Feedback from the group was overwhelmingly positive. As an HR professional, I really valued how David brought the StrengthsFinder framework to life in a way that deepened self-awareness, strengthened team connection, and supported more effective cross-functional collaboration. I’d highly recommend him to any HR or Talent Leader looking to integrate strengths-based development into their L&D strategy or leadership programmes.

Amazing tool and coaching from David O’Grady, with a very subtile analysis of our business profile.

I took part in a session David ran for our team and it was genuinely one of the most engaging and useful workshops I’ve been to. The session was interactive and relaxed, and David created a space where everyone felt comfortable contributing. I walked away with a much better understanding of how to communicate with different working styles, and the tools he shared were really practical. Would absolutely recommend him for any team looking to work better together!

We partnered with David to help our team deepen both our self-understanding and our understanding of one another. As a team focused on delivering exceptional experiences for our guests, we wanted to strengthen how we communicate and collaborate so everyone can be as effective as possible in their role. The DiSC workshop gave us a shared language to talk about our different working and communication styles. It made it easier to appreciate each other’s perspectives and approach conversations with greater awareness and intention—something that’s especially important in the high-pressure, fast-paced hospitality environment in which we work. Since the workshop, we’ve begun to see stronger trust and understanding across the team. People are excited to use the framework and are more mindful about how they communicate and collaborate. There’s a greater sense of openness and respect for different styles, helping to create a more supportive team dynamic that ultimately allows us to work better together and serve our guests even more effectively.

I was looking for a good Insights Facilitator for a number of months and was delighted to have found David and the fact he was local to us was even better. Was a great presenter and the team got great value for our time with him. Great day sharing our experiences with the colours etc and David guided the workshop at the right pace and examples. Would recommend and we will be using David again.

Working with David through my Everything DiSC certification was an incredibly valuable experience. What makes him such a strong partner isn’t just his deep understanding of the tool, but his decades of hands-on experience leading HR and Talent functions in large organisations. He brings a practical, real world lens to everything, showing you not just how to use DiSC, but how to design sessions that truly shift behaviour and support real business outcomes. Throughout the fantastic Wiley certification process, David was supportive, clear, and incredibly generous with his time. He answered every question, offered honest feedback, and shared valuable resources that helped me feel confident using the tool in my own work. What I’ve really valued is that his support didn’t stop after certification. He continues to be a trusted advisor and mentor as I facilitate workshops for global clients. He helps you think strategically about the full picture, from team dynamics and leadership, to culture and business priorities. That kind of insight is rare. David’s combination of deep HR experience and facilitation expertise makes him a uniquely valuable coach and trainer. I would highly recommend him to any coach or organisation looking to create meaningful learning experiences that drive real impact.

The CliftonStrengths workshop with David was a really valuable session that I am already applying in my work. His approach brought insight and depth to how I think about my strengths and how to use them more intentionally. I walked away with a clearer sense of what I do best and how to leverage my strengths as well as those of others to grow, collaborate, and create more impact every day. Thank you David!

I truly loved CliftonStrengths workshop David delivered— it was engaging, insightful, and really made me rethink how I look at my strengths. It gave me a new perspective on how to harness the power of my unique abilities more intentionally, both personally and professionally. I left feeling inspired and equipped with practical ways to apply what I learned.

David led StrengthsFinder training for my direct team and peer group, and his approach was both engaging and impactful. From preparation to follow-up, he provided just the right amount of context and pre-work—enough to spark interest and meaningful engagement without feeling like a routine task. Where David truly stands out is in live sessions (including virtual ones), where he brings the material to life in a way that fosters deeper connections among team members. His ability to facilitate thoughtful, natural discussions creates an environment where participants gain new perspectives and a stronger understanding of one another. I highly recommend David for any team working closely on projects, particularly global teams or leadership groups that need to collaborate and challenge each other effectively.

Working with David was truly transformative. Our sessions focused on identifying and understanding mine and my teams Strengths, which not only gave us clarity about our natural talents but also empowered the team to leverage those strengths more effectively. Personally the impact of our work together has been profound. I now have a deeper sense of self-awareness and a clear framework to approach challenges and opportunities with confidence. What stood out the most about David’s approach was his exceptional ability to make complex concepts relatable and actionable. He has an intuitive sense for where to dive deeper and how to tailor his guidance to my teams unique needs. His delivery style is both professional and approachable. To anyone considering working with David, I would say: don’t hesitate! Whether you’re looking for a deeper understanding of your strengths, seeking direction in your career, or striving for personal growth, David has the expertise and empathy to help you succeed. His coaching is not just a one-time experience but a stepping stone to long-lasting growth and achievement. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
