Close Up Radio Spotlights Executive Coach Siobhán Cahalan

Ireland – Siobhán Cahalan is an Executive Coach who specializes in working with CEOs who care about effective Corporate Governance in their organizations.

Corporate Governance is how a company is directed and managed. According to Best Practice Governance™, “the meaning of effective governance for an organisation is to manage the day-to-day operations, in line with the vision, strategy and planning, with integrity and in the best interests of all stakeholders.”

“My mission is to help individuals and organizations become the best version of themselves,” says Siobhán. “I call this Best Practice Governance, a holistic view of everything that is helpful for their organizations to be a success.

Prior to launching her coaching practice, Siobhán spent 20 years abroad in international management and leadership positions. She says while leaders want to be the best they can be in their organization, at the end of the day, it's all about behavior in how they do their job.

“Transparency and integrity go hand-in-hand,” says Siobhán. “Effective communication builds trust for a healthy culture in the organization.”

Siobhán says one of the most important responsibilities leaders struggle with is succession planning.

“Succession planning is something organizations pretend is not happening,” says Siobhán. “When the time finally comes, there's a panic; procedures and documentation aren't in place, which makes a seamless transition basically impossible. It’s just a massive mistake because it holds everybody back. Proper succession planning is empowering for everybody involved.”
