WHAT OTHER'S SAY
My name is Ange Dove and I'm a business from anywhere coach, and I have been being coached by Gerard McCarthy, since November 2023. I engaged Gerard initially to help me to transition to a new identity in my professional career. Going from a copywriter to a business coach. He helped me with that.
Back in November, things were quite tough for me. I was feeling very down because the copywriting industry had changed so much and I was having to pivot to cope with that.
I've always taken the guidance of coaches throughout my whole business career, and working with Gerard was no exception. I was really hopeful at the very beginning that he would help me through this transition, and he definitely did that. So roll on now to today, I'm in a much better space. I've completely embraced the role of business coach, and I'm a lot happier and in myself, personally and very, very clear on the direction that I am going in. And this is all down to working with Gerard and him helping me through the bi monthly sessions that I have with him. I am so happy with the work that we've done together that I have agreed to continue beyond the initial program that I signed up with. I'm continuing to move on with Gerard. I usually meet him my time Monday mornings before the working day starts. So it really puts me in a great mood for the rest of the day and the rest of the week. If you have an opportunity to be coached by Gerard, and I would definitely take that up, as I said, it's helped me tremendously to move and transition from one career path to another and to be able to cope mentally with all the changes that were required as well.
What were you hoping to achieve in your life?
Well, ….
it started with burn out and me wanting to quit my career entirely. It evolved during the process and by the end, I hoped to understand my core values and drives better, break free from limiting beliefs, and embrace a mindset of growth, security, vulnerability and authenticity—both in my personal life and professional ambitions.
What was your problem? How did you feel about it?
I was struggling with unresolved inner conflicts amplified by grief, especially around trust, dependence, and authority. I felt a strong aversion to these themes, which impacted my relationships and how I viewed myself as a leader and parent.
What made you reach out to work with Gerard?
I wanted to gain clarity and build a deeper connection with myself. I also wanted to regain the following traits. Traits You Want Back:
Bravery, Belief, Discipline, Openness, Decisiveness, Calm,
Hopefulness, Excitement for the Future
Optimism, Charisma.
How has life changed for you since starting?
I feel more aware of my values and more aligned with them. I think I have developed huge introspect tools. I have also started to take responsibility entirely for my emotional state. I also feel less like beating myself up about life achievements. Somehow, I had let envy creep into my life and I wasn’t even aware of it.
My values emerged as connection, choice, and creativity. I’ve developed tools for self-reflection and feel less hindered by old narratives about helplessness or dependence. I also had to read a few fun books during the process.
Another key shift is treating life as now and not a destination. I think I had developed the habit of putting off living. I’m not doing that anymore. Now is the time!
Thank you, Gerard, for taking me on board your 8 weeks RAPID Results program.
It’s been an amazing journey. Your guidance and expertise have been of the utmost benefit and inspiration to my career and to life in general.
What I worked on during the program has been practically implemented with immediate and tangible benefits.
You master the art of helping your clients to get rid of the limiting beliefs and trapped emotions that plague our life and prevent us from moving forward and making great things happen!
Everything is possible when the mind is set to succeed no matter what. Everyone can dream big and achieve their goals.
I can only highly recommend anyone to reach out to you for guidance and mentoring.
PS: I just got a new contract to do 7 maps for someone in Mexico.
Where are you now, and how do you feel going forward?
I feel optimistic, and grounded. I’ve developed a personal guide for self-monitoring, and I’m equipped with tools to navigate life’s complexities with resilience and intention. I look forward to continuing this journey of self-discovery.
Anything else that may help others?
Working with Gerard is transformative if you’re ready to face your truths and take actionable steps toward self-awareness. Their approach is both empathetic and results-driven, making it an empowering process.
What surprised you?
I was surprised by how much baggage I was carrying. I was sceptical at first, that this might be some exercise where a bunch of rhetoric is spewed at you, whether appropriate or not. Gerard’s power is he stops to think about what you say and really digs deep without upsetting you, but directly to the core issues.
Your advice regarding the business sale was greatly appreciated and helped me navigate through our negotiations.
I feel that yesterday was the best session for me personally, & so far I have gained great clarity and feel empowered and much happier knowing that I can better control my destiny in life.
Your expert knowledge and guidance has been priceless, & I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone looking for guidance in career or personal growth.
Thank you Gerard !

To this day, any issue I have, I call Gerard.
Gerard was also the first person I called, when I got my dream job. He may not know it but if it was not for him, I would not be qualified or felt competent. I would not even know what my path was. If anyone needs any help with their mindset, career or any part of their life, Gerard McCarthy is the man I go to and first person I call.

I am very grateful for Gerard’s counsel and guidance over the past months. Gerard has deep appreciation of how our self-limiting beliefs keep us from reaching our full potential.Â
I greatly valued Gerard’s ability to listen, whilst at the time provide a safe space to allow me to discover greater meaning and purpose in all areas of life.
Gerard combines his business acumen, rich life experience, along with proven coaching methodologies to empower others to take action in a highly effective way that gets results.
Whether you are pursuing a business goal, peak performance on the sporting field or developing yourself personally, I highly recommend Gerard to not only ensure you reach your goal, but also enjoy the process and journey along the way.

Thanks D. Seeto
Thanks Gerard. Having you as a thinking partner has been really helpful.
I come out feeling much more optimistic and the day gets better and better. It even helps me with my attitude toward rather challenging relationships.
Overall, I think you’re a phenomenal and adaptable coach and I very much value our discussions.
I realised it was the way I see the problem is the problem.

The guided introspection exercises were invaluable. Gerard’s ability to ask questions I could never conceive of was key. It’s not often in life you hear a different perspective that so jarring, but so obvious, you just hadn’t thought of it. The right questions helped me confront challenging emotions without judgment and uncover insights I hadn’t expected.
