Welcome to Human Performance. I'm Larry Maguire, an organisational psychologist and lecturer in psychometrics, leadership, motivation, well-being, and human performance. I am also a development coach for executives and business owners and a workshop facilitator.
Developing the psychological skills necessary for peak performance in your work is an ongoing and dynamic undertaking. Amongst other things, it consists of understanding oneself and others, making effective decisions under pressure, regulating one's emotions, having concern for how our actions impact the world, and creating an environment where everyone can flourish. I built this site to provide you with the information you need to develop this essential mental skill set.
My Profile in Brief
I hold a Masters in Work & Organisational Psychology from DCU Business School and an honours BA in Psychology from Dublin Business School. I am a registered psychometric test user with the British Psychological Society, and I am a graduate member of the Psychological Society of Ireland. I am also a member of the Association of Coaching and have been in business for myself since 2000. I live in Dublin with my wife Joanne and our three kids.
Services
Psychometric Testing
I provide psychometric assessments to individuals and organisations. If you are seeking the best-fit career path and psychological skill development for yourself, psychometrics can help. For organisations, make hiring and promotion decisions based on data, not a best guess.

I work with senior leaders, business executives, career people and business owners to help them find clarity & direction in their work. Get a call back to discuss your needs or find out how Executive Coaching can help you.
