Why work with BusinessWorks?
Industry Knowledge
Marina Bleahen, Founder and CEO of BusinessWorks, is an award-winning Business Executive Coach, Trainer, and Engagement Strategist, with a passion for helping business leaders and their teams succeed.
With over 25 years’ experience in the fields of business, marketing and communications, Marina works with business owners and their teams to build sustainable, highly profitable enterprises.
Previously a Global Director of Strategic Marketing with Elan Pharmaceuticals, Marina studied radiography in University College Dublin and ran a successful private clinic before joining Elan. Marina went on to become Managing Director of ActionCoach Ireland, with ActionCoach being the largest and most successful business coaching franchise in the world.
Having spent the last two decades helping organisations transform their success from “good” to “GREAT” Marina prides herself on creating a truly engaged workplace, where employees love to come to work, where future leaders are nurtured, and teams are more productive, purposeful and profitable than they’ve ever been!
Now, the current President of the North Dublin Chamber of Commerce, and the CEO of a leading consultancy that transforms the prospects of other businesses, Marina has her finger on the pulse of industry interests and challenges. Her signature skill is in transforming managers, at all levels of business, into highly agile and engaging leaders, where the key message is
‘Good is the enemy of great and we were put on this planet to be the very best we can be’.
While working within a cross-section of industries and organisations during the last recession, Marina found that a huge number of leaders and teams get stuck, or plateau, and find it difficult to execute the business plan and strategy. This motivated her to research why some organisations excel and others don’t and quickly discovered the answer to the problem, is “CULTURE”!
Marina fast became a leading voice with other global experts in Culture and Leadership. As the exclusive licensee for Partners in Leadership* across Ireland and the UK as well as an exclusive partner with Engage & Grow, and DOOR International Training & Consulting, Marina’s reach and expertise goes far beyond these shores.
“Our expertise is in designing and delivering bespoke local and global training solutions for your clients.”

“either your culture is working for you or against you. Our Virtual training programmes are designed to help you engage your team and actively manage culture to deliver high performance and success.”
Marina, together with her highly skilled team at BusinessWorks, guarantee to accelerate your team performance through building a culture of positive accountability and leadership to achieve results.
“As employees continue to work remotely from home, their kitchen tables and spare rooms, more than ever it is so important that business leaders manage culture as virtual working has become the norm”
Marina goes onto say that “either your culture is working for you or against you. Our personal and virtual training programmes are designed to help you engage your team and actively manage culture to deliver high performance and success.”

Our Beliefs
Our Background & Beliefs
Why we exist?
BusinessWorks.ie exists to develop highly engaged teams and to help business leaders and owners achieve the extra mile for themselves and their teams through becoming stronger leaders, creating a culture of accountability and leading a highly engaged team.
Did you know that only 13% of employees in the Irish workforce are highly engaged and this costs 34% of salary, that’s €34,000 wasted in every €100,000.
A highly experienced professional business coach having graduated from The Smurfit Business School, Bleahen led the ActionCOACH business as Managing Director for more that a decade where she and her team delivered highly effective coaching and training to businesses in Ireland.
During that time, Bleahen found that it was relatively simple to help business achieve financial results in making more sales and profits, the transactional end of business.
However, she quickly realised that it took more than a financial growth strategy to maintain business growth and success which set her on a mission to partner with global leaders in the provision of corporate training and coaching.

Two Levers for Lasting Change
Organizations can pull two mutually enhancing levers to produce results: strategy (what they work on) and culture (how they work). Just as the right strategy aims to deliver a client’s mission, a Culture of Accountability produces the engagement, commitment, ownership, innovation, satisfaction, and ultimately the results the mission expects.
