Dr Terry Galvin
Principal Consultant
Dr Terry Galvin brings to The Career Collaborator over 35 years of wide-ranging Human Resources Management and Business Psychology experience nurtured within both organizational and consultancy roles. His consultancy career has encompassed 15 years heading his own successful UK-based firm; operating as Managing Director, Middle East for a longstanding and reputable business psychology consultancy; and Managing Director of Dubai-based consultancy, Talent Management Global (www.tmg-me.com). His PhD research, focusing upon experiences of, and reactions to, substantial change at work, has equipped Terry with a vital appreciation of the dynamics impacting upon those seeking career advancement within today’s ever-transient world. Most frequently independently, but sometimes in partnership with leading career development and transition companies (including Career Analysts, Cepec Career Management, HDA, New Horizons, Penna and Right Management), he has gained considerable and diverse exposure to supporting individuals in achievement of their career objectives. In order to best promote the career advancement of others, he has also authored a series of guidance notes for job seekers, and is in the final stages of writing a book devoted to giving practical advice to those eager to pursue career progression.
His role within The Career Collaborator focuses upon providing career transitioning and advancement support both personally and through a carefully chosen team of Associates.
Career Coaching Style
Throughout his career, Terry has demonstrated a genuine passion for helping others achieve their true potential. He brings to coaching relationships, whether in person or virtual, a conscientious and pragmatic disposition coupled with enthusiasm, dedication, and a “can do” attitude. He enjoys stimulating fresh insights and different thinking as well as encouraging others to experiment with new patterns of behavior, often beyond their typical comfort zones, thereby enhancing self-confidence and self-belief. A key objective is to ensure his positive mental attitude and action orientation transfers to his coachees in such a way that they become quickly motivated, task-focused and directed towards achievable goals. Witnessing the beneficial outcomes arising from resulting individual transformations has long been a prime source of Terry’s job satisfaction.
