Ideas of contacts for my Mini-Company idea

    As part of TY Mini-Company, I am in progress of setting up a personal development business, as a unified, non-centred network of psychologists and people who specialise in soft skills such as critical thinking, public speaking and leadership, that anyone could contact in order to work with them and improve their strength of such skills. My intention with the business is to get as many people as possible on the personal development train.

    However, I am currently at a progress barrier, since nobody I have talked to in my school so far is knowledgeable of such psychologists and skill educators. I have contacted the Student Enterprise Programme on their website, but they never replied to me for some reason.

    Any idea of such people to contact would be greatly appreciated.

    Is this the sort of person you mean?

    If you contact him, I'm sure he will know of others.
    Are you limiting it just to psychologists?

    Not just psychologists. This also includes soft skill educators that I previously mentioned.

    Search for the terms you have used, plus motivational speakers etc..

    Cool. I'll search for as many in Ireland (preferably Dublin) as possible since there isn't a 100% chance that every one of those people will reply to me.

    A work and organizational psychologist might be able to help. The psychological society of Ireland have a division of work and organizational psychologists that might be able to help.
