Owen Pardue (C)

It's sobering to realise that I took a nap one morning in Kindergarten and woke up to find that I now have over two decades of useful experience in life and business! The time flew faster than I could ever have imagined. I'm fortunate, though: for the most part, it's been successful and I've had - and continue having - a pretty good time!

Experience includes:

• business development (designing processes & strategies) (Ireland, UK, & USA)
• coaching & training
• sales & marketing (recruiting and training sales & marketing teams)
• copywriting & business writing (from sales letters to advertising campaigns)

Kinder clients of mine (including: Nat Ross, Glanbia, Philip Morris Int’l, AIB…) have told me that I bring ‘a wealth of practical knowledge and easy-going professionalism’ to my work. I thank them for being so kind, although I take it with a pinch of salt – my head’s big enough as it is already. Since becoming a certified Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Master Practitioner I’ve never looked back. Some wit once said that when you do what you love you will never work again. I feel fortunate to not be working. I also hold a diploma in Bungee Jumping :0) as well as one for Performance & Executive Coaching (currently serving on the coaching panel of a number of international banks). I’m interested in many other things, too - language (copywriting for business & writing for fun), recruitment profiling, hypnotherapy, NLP Psychotherapy, and motivational and/or after-dinner speaking. Client’s say that my presentation style is personal, challenging, dynamic and thought-provoking. I hope so! As long as they're getting something out of it and we're all winning, I'll keep on keeping on.
