Provided marketing mentoring and consultancy services to this organisation and it’s clients.
“I have worked with Carol for the last number of months on a business mentoring support initiative for tourism startups within the Dublin area. Over this time, Carol has worked with a broad spectrum of tourism businesses and to date feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
Mostly, these start up clients highlight how they find Carol’s positive, common sense approach very refreshing.
Carol has an innate ability to assess their situation and very quickly come up with options for their business and marketing plans. She helps these clients to see things in a more structured / clear manner whilst offering them an abundance of ideas and food for thought on how they can begin to realise their dream of starting their own business.
On a personal note, I have always greatly enjoyed working with Carol. Carol is consistently professional but also shares her personal and warm side to clients. I would recommend Carol’s judgment, ability and insight without hesitation”
