What’s special about Sheila’s Workplace Wellbeing & Parenting services?
Practical Parenting was set up by Sheila O’Malley in response to parents’ need for training and support. Because relationship is central both at home and in the office, Sheila has now broadened her offer to include: Workplace Wellbeing programmes such as dealing with stress, building resilience, effective communication and conflict resolution. She shares her own experience and invites people to share theirs in a safe non judgemental environment. Sheila understands many of the challenges we face at home and at work and the difference a little help and support can make,
“No judgement, no preaching, just great advice from someone who’s been through it all”.
Both Workplace Wellbeing and Parenting Programs
In the current climate, people both at home and at work are experiencing more pressure and often more stress than ever. Sheila’s approach enables people to hear something new that really makes a difference, “everyone relates to what Sheila says and can practically apply it to their own situation”; as well as feel supported “thank God I’m not the only one”. Her Wellness material and the experiential way it is delivered strikes a chord with everyone enabling them to talk, listen, find their own answers and create positive change.
Feedback from Abbott Ireland on Happy Me, Happy Home / Life
“Sheila O Malley of Practical Parenting came to speak at our Tots to Teens Event in Abbott Vascular Clonmel on “Happy Me, Happy Home Life”. This talk was so far reaching that it struck a chord with parents with kids of all ages, and even employees without kids!!! Sheila spoke about how to get “you” in a happy place, and how then this will positively affect all relationships in your life. Sheila was engaging, humorous and most of all down to earth, feedback from attendees was that they could understand and relate to Sheila easily, that she made everyone relax and harvested an engaging atmosphere where questions and clarification was welcomed. We are definitely thinking of having Shelia back again to speak!”

“Sheila has helped me become more competent and confident in my parenting. Participating on the course was a hugely positive experience – I came away full of positivity and plans to put into action, that have since proven very effective in yielding the results I wanted. Even my son has noticed I’m a nicer mummy – we negotiate instead of argue now! I also brought home really comprehensive and helpful notes, so I can do a top-up on parenting skills as required. I have noticed dramatic improvements in our household by implementing relatively minor changes – the 8 minutes a day child led one on one time pays real dividends! – Margaret more
