Welcome to Human Performance, I'm Larry Maguire. I am an organisational psychologist, lecturer in Leadership, Motivation, and Positive Psychology at a private college in Dublin, and a development coach to executives and business owners.
Whether you're just starting out on your leadership career journey or you are a seasoned veteran, I hope that the content here helps you develop and refine the skills you need to succeed.
These vital mental skills include resilience, problem-solving, decision-making, emotional regulation, and leadership. They are cultivated through the application of techniques such as self-talk, imagery, self-regulation, time in solitude and other strategies. When you take the necessary time to learn and apply them, your experience of the world, others, and yourself will change for the better.
I'd like to break down how that looks, but first, who am I?
A Bit of Background
At the time of writing, I'm just about the right side of fifty. I hold a Masters in Work & Org Psychology from DCU Business School, an honours BA in Psychology from Dublin Business School, and I am a registered psychometric test user with the British Psychological Society. I am a graduate member of the Psychological Society of Ireland, a member of the Association of Coaching, and have been in business for myself since 2001. I live in Dublin with my wife Joanne and our three kids.
