Team EngagementDublin & Ireland
Team engagement is easy to measure and hard to move. Most organisations know their scores. Fewer know what to do about them. The standard response — a survey, a town hall, a refreshed benefits package — rarely shifts the dial, because it doesn't touch what's actually driving disengagement. People don't feel they belong. They don't feel safe to speak up. And they don't feel connected to a purpose bigger than the next quarterly target.
Ronan facilitates team engagement sessions in Dublin and across Ireland that go to the root of the problem rather than the symptoms. The work builds the three things research consistently links to genuine engagement: psychological safety, so people feel able to be honest; belonging, so they feel part of something; and shared purpose, so the work means something beyond the paycheck. Sessions are person-centred, which means the people in the room drive the experience rather than sitting through a presentation.
The approach draws on years of experience with corporate teams across Ireland, including Google Dublin and Clúid Housing, alongside elite sports environments where engagement under pressure is the difference between winning and losing. Sessions run two to three hours and can be delivered in person or online, as a one-off intervention or as part of a longer engagement programme. They suit HR and people teams, leadership groups and full departments.
"I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Ronan for several years now. Most recently, Ronan has been working with the Operations Leadership Team in Clúid to build our connectivity as a team, delve in to how we work together and how we can create a high performing environment to achieve our vision. Like many, Ronan has a rich knowledge from an academic perspective however this is linked with an innate ability to connect with people in a group environment and a special understanding of how to design a safe space for people to achieve tangible, sustainable outcomes. Ronan cares deeply about the people he works with, brings all of himself to his work and prepares meticulously in order to maximise the value for all."
"The businesses that create an environment for its people where those people can be themselves are the ones that are going to succeed. They will attract the best talent, they will retain them for longer and they will benefit from their contribution and loyalty. In my experience most businesses and the majority of leaders don't know how to create these environments. That is why the skillset and experience that Ronan brings is of such inherent importance to any organization that chooses to work with him. That is because he can accelerate the creation of the aforementioned cultural conditions that allow people to thrive individually and collectively. Ronan has over the last decade worked across elite sport, with young people and adults to hone a skill set that is very rare and highly valuable. If you are a smart leader and want the type of environment in which your people can thrive and do their best work then Ronan is the best investment you could possibly make."
"Ronan's session was like nothing any of the staff on the Global Business Solutions team here at Google had experienced before. Ronan seamlessly unlocked communication bottlenecks, and forged a genuine sense of team purpose and connection. The wider team left feeling refreshed, unified and optimistic. The overwhelming feedback was that this session was significantly impactful on a personal and professional level."
"I’ve been lucky enough to work with Ronan on several projects, and I always leave in awe of his abilities. Ro manages to balance a holistic and caring approach, with evidence and research to back up what he talks about.
He is a rare breed of facilitator that can deliver exceptionally high quality, impactful work right from day one. Ro draws on his experience working with youth to make his work engaging but is versed enough in business for it to be relevant to adults in the corporate and sporting arenas.
He captivates the rooms (or screens) with his facilitation, but somehow manages to make the participants the centre of all his work. A trait that takes incredible skill and years of hard work to successfully navigate.
Can’t speak highly enough of him; I am a better facilitator, and man, because of Ronan Conway."
