Dave Garvey is now a Qualified IINLP Life & Business Coach

Congratulations to Dave who is now a fully certified Life & Business Coach with the IINLP!

Over the past 2 years Dave has trained with the Irish Institute of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) as a Master Practitioner and Coach. During this process he came to realise that the fundamental issues faced by those looking to change are often very similar regardless of the context. NLP is a set of tools and strategies which allow you to master your emotions, achieve powerful states of mind and become a more powerful and effective communicator. NLP has the potential to give you the self-determination needed to overcome learned limitations and will emphasize well-being and healthy functioning. The skills learned through NLP coaching can be used by anyone to improve effectiveness both personally and professionally.

Coaching is a process of setting focused achievable goals that are realistic for the individual and identifying the pathway to achieving them.

During a session Dave will work with you to clearly identify your desired goals and the actions required for you to successfully meet them. Unlike therapy, coaching is about looking to the future, so past issues are rarely explored in any depth.

If you would like to contact Dave to organise a business, life or sports coaching session, please email dave@dmgsailsports.com or phone our office at 01-8456946.

Nice forecast for the weekend


At last it looks like a great forecast for the weekend with perfect conditions for windsurfing and dinghy sailing. Nice Northwesterly winds around F 3 - 4 and temperatures creeping into the early teens.


With the windsurfing school now almost fully stocked with our 2010 kit it's the perfect time to get back on the water for a lesson or just a couple of hours hire. Maybe you want to see how far you can push your progress this season or maybe you just want to get your hair wet and feel great ;-)


This weekend also sees our first dinghy sailing course of the season so if your were thinking of trying somthing new give us a shout and join in.


Give us a call in the office for a booking before it's too late 01-8456946
