Offering high-quality, high-impact management skills development courses and coaching, online and in-person.

Our CPD-accredited courses enable managers at all levels to boost their management skills and empower them with the tools and confidence to lead high-performing teams. Managers and team leaders risk burnout, wasting time and energy in tackling underperformance and other team issues. Frustration, micro-management and fire-fighting from one crisis to the next doesn't have to be on part of a manager's to-do list. Being a high-performing manager is within reach.

Having a set of effective, tried-and-tested management tools, and techniques and the confidence to apply them will give managers the foundation for taking themselves and their teams forward towards consistently high performance. Without the right management models and communication skills, managers at all levels risk losing their team members to competitors or carrying underperformance for a very long time. Knowing how to set targets, monitor performance, give feedback, motivate a team, handle conflict and coach the team are all part of our Managing with Impact Program. Participants in our programs will gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to get the best of our teams whilst maintaining their well-being in the process!

Hi, I’m Reg Friddle, . I’m glad you’re here to find out a little more about me and the work I do. I help managers to improve their management skills and confidence so they can achieve high performance from themselves and their teams. without struggle or stress. My core values direct everything I do: I provide the highest quality of skills development and coaching programs that harness human potential and make a lasting difference to the way people live and work.

I help managers by providing them with a roadmap to manage their teams effectively. Then I help them navigate that map, covering the most important milestones. Along the way, managers learn the skills and confidence to enable them to be high-performing people managers without the stress that usually comes with that role.

I set up Preferred Future Skills Academy in 2013 in Kilkenny, Ireland. This was after spending many years in the world of learning and corporate training across public, private, and government sectors. I became involved in management and leadership skills development and coaching because I saw the value of learning and how it could transform people’s lives. I wanted to put my years of experience and hard-earned qualifications to use with the goal of helping people release their potential by enhancing their learning and developing their capabilities.

This has always been at the core of every job I’ve ever had. Through a lot of professional development in 6 universities and several professional bodies, I have gained a level of expertise in the topics of management and leadership skills. I’ve worked as a people manager and as part of teams too. I know the struggles that managers face.
