Connecting People
with Purpose

CareerVision partners with organisations to deliver leadership development, team development, and coaching programmes powered by Insights Discovery and Gallup CliftonStrengths — helping people grow, teams collaborate, and cultures thrive.

People want to belong, to contribute, and to make a difference. That desire is the heartbeat of every organisation. Our deeply experienced team of learning and development experts work to uncover the unique challenges and opportunities within each organisation, embracing each individual’s true potential and enabling each person to make meaningful connections and contributions.

For over 15 years, we’ve partnered with leaders in BioPharma, Chemical, Medical Device and Technology organisations, supporting them to build the cultures and capabilities that drive growth, agility, and long-term success.

What we do

Supporting Growth at Every Level

Growth doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens when individuals, teams and leaders all move forward together. That’s why our programmes focus on every level of an organisation – building individual capability, strengthening team relationships, enabling leaders to role-model performance behaviours, and guiding culture in critical moments of change or growth. Every programme we develop is tailored to the unique needs of your organisation, designed to enhance communication, unlock potential and deliver measurable impact where it matters most.

 

Supporting Individual Growth

We offer one-to-one coaching and tailored development pathways to build awareness, confidence and career clarity.  We partner with individuals keen to grow in self-awareness and in self-regulation, leading to a more confident understanding of how to play to their unique strengths, find real purpose in their work and develop a greater appetite for career progression.

Outcomes Include:
  • Greater self-awareness and stronger relationships.
  • Confidence to apply unique strengths.
  • A clearer sense of purpose in the workplace.

Building Effective Team Relationships

We offer immersive team workshops and facilitated experiences that enhance collaboration, trust and effectiveness.  Diverse teams, with respectful relationships, are more productive and create a better working environment…for everyone. We help teams build trust, promote psychological safety, navigate challenging dynamics and align on behaviours and commitments that feed team cohesion and organisational performance.

Leadership for Performance

Leaders touch the lives of so many people – employees, clients and communities.  And workplace cultures are largely driven by the way leaders behave.  We provide leaders with the space to think deeply about how they personally show up and interact with the world, to guarantee that each employee feels ownership for the organisation and its vital work.  We work with them to build cultures that encourage open dialogue, mutual respect and accountability. The result: stronger teams, faster decision-making, and an environment where talent sticks and ideas move forward.

Outcomes include:
  • Faster Decision-Making and Execution

Culture in Critical Moments

Periods of rapid growth, restructuring, or organisational change are defining moments for culture. We support leaders in start-ups, pharma/med tech new builds, start ups, acquisitions and divestitures to establish the right culture from the outset. By focusing on behaviours, decision-making and clarity of purpose, we help leaders create environments where people feel aligned, motivated and ready to deliver results, even in complex, fast-moving contexts.

Outcomes include:
  • A Clear Intentional Approach to Shaping Culture.
  • Alignment of New Teams.

  • Change and Transformation Leadership.
  • From Blueprint to Culture – Aligning New People as Build Comes to Life.

 

 

The world can feel uncertain, even fractured but I believe the answer lies in how we treat each other. In every organisation, in every team, there’s an opportunity to build trust, respect and belonging. That’s not just good business, it’s what gives work and life real meaning. That’s why we place humanity at the centre of performance because culture built on respect and trust is what drives growth that lasts.

Elaine Gennery, Founder

Our Flagship Frameworks – Insights Discovery & Gallup Clifton Strengths

Alongside a wide range of interactive workshops that bring authentic behaviours to life, we use powerful, evidence-based tools to support growth and performance.

We are proud to be among the top 3 providers of Insights Discovery in Ireland and recognised in the top 80 globally. Over the past 15 years we have supported thousands of individuals and hundreds of teams, locally and across global organisations to build self-awareness, strengthen collaboration, and achieve greater results with Insights Discovery. As an accredited partner, we also provide practitioner pathways for those looking to become accredited and embed Insights Discovery in their own organisations.

To build on that foundation, we bring in Gallup CliftonStrengths, helping individuals and teams turn awareness into action. By focusing on natural talents and how to apply them every day, CliftonStrengths drives engagement, motivation and performance outcomes across teams and leadership.

Insights
Discovery

We use Insights Discovery to help individuals and teams deepen self-awareness, understand communication preferences, and strengthen collaboration. From personal profiles to team workshops and leadership development, Insights provides a simple, memorable framework that unlocks better relationships and higher performance.

Clifton Strengths

Clifton Strengths helps people focus on what they naturally do best and apply it for real results. We use it with leaders, teams, and individuals to shift the conversation from fixing weaknesses to harnessing strengths — building confidence, energy, and sustainable performance at every level.

The Thinking Environment

The philosophy of Nancy Kline’s Thinking Environment permeates our approach: creating the conditions where every voice is heard and the best thinking can emerge. By fostering presence, attention, and respect, we enable richer conversations and stronger outcomes for individuals and teams.

About us

Since 2007, CareerVision has partnered with organisations in Ireland and around the world to strengthen leadership, build high-performing teams, and create cultures that drive results.

Trusted by leading companies in the pharma, biotech, medical device and technology sectors we design and deliver programmes that combine business impact with human connection.

Our work is grounded in globally recognised frameworks such as Insights Discovery and Gallup CliftonStrengths, but what truly sets us apart is the depth of expertise our facilitators and coaches bring to the table.  Each brings years of experience across industries, enabling us to tailor programmes that are not only evidence-based but also grounded in real-world understanding.

For more than 15 years, we have built long-term client relationships founded on trust, collaboration and measurable performance. At CareerVision, we believe that when leaders role-model the right behaviours and people feel valued and connected, organisations achieve their best and that belief shapes everything we do.

Our Team

Opening Minds, Unlocking Potential

We are not here to tick a box or deliver an off-the-shelf programme. Our purpose is to open minds, shift thinking, and help leaders and teams see new possibilities. With deep industry experience and a human approach, our coaches and facilitators challenge and support in equal measure creating the conditions for growth and delivering lasting impact for people and performance.
