“Sheila O’ Malley was Keynote Speaker at Cuidiu’s Annual Conference in 2010. Her talk was an inspiration, she held our attention, reaching people on many levels. The overall presentation was professional, educational, relaxed and funny all at once. With a constant nodding of heads, she had us totally engaged. Everyone found Sheila easy to understand and with many new and inspiring concepts. The feedback has been positive all around and we look forward to working with Practical Parenting once again in the near future. We would highly recommend Sheila O’ Malley to anyone seeking an energetic, motivating and very informative keynote speaker. Sheila’s knowledge, enthusiasm and experience would be an asset to any conference or organisation as all found the talk practical, interesting and informative. The material was relevant to parents with children of all age groups.”

Bullying Talk Testimonials: Feedback is 100% positive
Thank you most sincerely for that thought provoking workshop on bullying for the parents in our school. I had a very positive reaction from parents afterwards in particular what you had to say to them about cyber bullying. Parents left the meeting armed with well thought out strategies should their children have to deal with bullying.

“I found Sheila to be a true professional at what she does, it was obvious from her presentations that she has a passion for her chosen field. Her talk on ‘Parent at your Best’ was very practical. She is a natural presenter and delivered the presentation in an engaging, light and at times humourous way AIB CAPITAL MARKETS more

“Sheila O’ Malley’s talk was excellent and it enabled parents to gain an insight into their own behaviours, attitudes and approaches to life and how these traits can often be mirrored positively and sometimes negatively through the actions of their children. The talk was very positive in its approach to parenting, and although parents came to find out about how to deal with challenging behaviours, they left with so much more”
