We transform the cultures of organisations
Why work with BusinessWorks?
Industry Knowledge
Marina Bleahen, Founder and CEO of BusinessWorks, is an accomplished professional business coach and trainer with a passion for helping business leaders and their teams succeed.
Marina, a former global brand director in Pharma, has spent the last two decades helping organisations transform their success from “good” to “GREAT” using the philosophy from the Good to Great – a book by author Jim Collins.
Bleahen and the BusinessWorks team focus on igniting the passion in business leaders and their teams, to demand more from themselves driving the message ‘the good is the enemy of great and we were put on this planet to be the very best we can be, mediocrity is not an option.’
Working within a cross-section of industries & organisations during the last recession as the Managing Director of ActionCOACH, Bleahen found that some leaders and teams get ‘stuck’ and find it difficult to execute the business plan and strategy. This motivated her to research why some organisations excel and others don’t.
She quickly discovered the answer is “CULTURE” and she joined global experts in Culture and Leadership, Partners in Leadership (PIL) and Engage & Grow.
Partners In Leadership work with half of the Fortune Top 50 companies, helping them deliver success through optimising culture.
“One could say you can bring a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. BusinessWorks exists to accelerate team performance through building a culture of positive accountability and leadership to achieve results i.e. putting salt in the water,” claims Marina
BusinessWorks has also developed & launched the LACE methodology (Leadership, Accountability, Culture, Engagement and Employee Excellence). This is when BusinessWorks team transforms the cultures of organisations from being mediocre or average, to being excellent and high-performing.
“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, “ she states
She goes onto say that “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.”
BusinessWorks has also partnered up with DOOR International Training & Consulting, and Partners in Leadership. “Our expertise is in designing and delivering bespoke local and global training solutions for our clients.”
Myself & my BusinessWorks team, look forward to helping you achieve greatness and success with your team, so you proudly deliver business success rather than hang your head and say ‘how did we let that happen?’ – it’s up to you, says Marina!

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.
