Shelagh is a woman of many talents and disciplines, a mother, business owner, chartered accountant and personal insolvency practitioner who very kindly took time out of her busy schedule to talk to me about her personal and professional journey and what is has taught her along the way. 

Training as an accountant she initially worked in industry in the UK before setting up her own business and building it into a successful and thriving practice before a life changing event forced her to change direction and countries as she settled back in Ireland and put her career ambitions on the back burner for 10 years. 

Picking up from where she left off a few years ago Shelagh has gone on to found another business Firm Advice specialising in helping people to manage and resolve debt and insolvency issues.  

For Shelagh helping people in financial difficulty is as much about supporting people in coming to terms with things like loss and failure as well as removing the stigma of looking for help and taking the first steps towards change which as Shelagh puts it herself is all about “helping people to look back in at their situation instead of just being in it”. 

This was an inspiring conversation with someone passionate about helping people to understand not just how money works but how their emotions to it work too so that we overcome our fears and insecurities about what for many of us can be a mysterious and intimidating commodity.  

This episode of the Live Well Perform Better Podcast brings the curtain down on what has been Season 2.Thank you so much listening so far this year, we really appreciate all the feedback we’ve gotten and we’ll be back in the Autumn with season 3 which will feature more great guests ready to share their stories and insights with us.

Rob is a well-known and popular figure within the Dublin business community due to his long standing association with the Dublin Chamber of Commerce where he spent 7 years leading and managing its members events and engagements alongside teaching people how to network and build their own personal brands.  

Rob is equally well known for the massive change he made in his own lifestyle 6 years ago when along with his wife Yvonne they managed to lose 13stone between them and in the process completely transform the quality of their own lives and that of their family. 

Rob has recently embarked on his latest challenge as the director of business development with the Noel Group and he very generously took time out of his schedule to share his story with me and in the process tell me what his weight loss journey has taught him about himself and life as well as what others can learn from his experience and put into practice when making and implementing change in their personal or professional lives.  

This was inspiring conversation all about the importance of taking action towards the goals and ambitions that are meaningful to you, why accountability on your change journey matters and why the one thing that anyone looking to change something in their lives or business must give up are excuses.

In this conversation she spoke to me about how her growing awareness of the need for greater alignment between her personal state of wellness and her work in the last few years has led her to care more for herself both mentally and physically and how important getting this right is for her not just personally but for her business, her brand, her team and her aim to be the best CEO for her company that she can be.  

For Jennifer this about building time for a few small but key daily and weekly activities that she knows work for her, never accepting that you are the finished article as well as working with and tapping into a range of personal and professional mentors and coaches on a regular basis.

Ronan is a man of many talents and disciplines who is probably most widely know for his work as a Breathwave Practitioner, whose virtual Wednesday evening breathing sessions became a vital part of people’s coping mechanisms during the height of the Covid -19 pandemic. And which have continued to attract a large audience of participants from across the world. 

I was first introduced to Ronan via members of the Below the Line Press Pause Community and with my curiosity piqued I reached out to see if I could talk to him and find out more about his work.  

What followed was a fascinating conversation with a really thoughtful and thought provoking person who’s path towards what he does has been shaped by challenging personal circumstances and overcoming them, emotional and spiritual awakenings at key moments in his life and learning to trust both himself and the work he is doing so that he can create the life he wants for himself while the doing something that holds huge meaning for both himself and his clients.

Donna is Wellness Coach and Consultant who began her career in Human Resources in the financial services sector before taking the plunge to set up her own business almost 2 and a half years ago. Donna’s journey into the work she does now came via the opportunities she had to learn about and implement wellbeing programmes with her previous employer and witnessing the impact that they had with the people she worked with.  

It was experiences such as these as well as a deeply held belief that our wellbeing is something that we can all learn to take better care of that convinced her that she had a role to play and an impact to make outside the confines of her own organisation.  

In this conversation Donna spoke to me about her own journey, why she believes wellbeing is is a concept that takes in a multitude of activities and practices and how and why she encourages her clients to take time to really think about and connect with this idea for themselves so that they reach conclusions, insights and learning that are personal to them, their lives and their situations, something that she very much tries to live and adhere to in her own life as a busy mother and business owner.

Cara is the Experience & Engagement Lead at Allianz Partners where she is responsible for building programmes and interventions that support people to achieve greater performance and fulfilment in their working lives at what is the world’s largest financial services company. 

In a wide-ranging discussion Cara shared with me her own story and the path that has led her to where she is now. From training initially as a teacher to getting started in the insurance industry to motherhood and all points in between, Cara also spoke candidly about the metaphorical cliff edge she very nearly fell off in her early 30's and how she avoided it thanks to awakening she had into how she was living and the changes she has made to her lifestyle, health and habits since then. 

As well as all of this Cara also spoke to me about the challenges she sees organisations currently grappling with to provide meaningful and impactful experiences to employees that help keep people motivated, connected and attached to their employers.

Miriam is a coach whose path towards this form of work has come from her own extensive explorations into her own life and career, the choices she has made and the relationship she has with herself. This exploration is what now drives her to work with and support our own clients through the same journey she has come through and continues to go on for herself.

A strong feature of Miriam's work as a coach is her belief in and connection to energy as a life force that we can see and feel in others. She sees her primary role as connecting as closely as she can to the energy of her clients in the pursuit of transformational breakthroughs, thinking and insights which, in her own words, enable people to become. Architects of their own future.

This was a fascinating conversation with someone whose deep, personal passion for and belief in what she does comes through in every word she utters.

Tomás has dedicated much of his life and energy to the field of education where he has enjoyed several careers over the course of his working life from secondary school teacher and university lecturer to educational leader and policy maker in various roles across the Irish Civil Service. Outside of his career Tomás is a poet and writer and most importantly, a husband and father and joining the dots between all these aspects of his life is a search for greater meaning and understanding of both himself and the world around him, something that becomes instantly apparent from even the shortest interaction with this warm, engaging and inspiring person. 

Tomas’s advice for how it live well and perform is that we should surrender to our glorious, vulnerable selves and in this conversation you will hear and learn why he holds this belief and how he tries to connect with this idea and bring into his own life and work.

This week I am joined by a very special guest Corrina Kavanagh.

Corrina is a young woman who has recently taken the plunge and stepped out on her own as the founder and principal coach in her own business Kind and Conquer. Prior to working as a coach Corrina had a successful career as a marketing executive in the music business working with many well known and globally recognised artists. At the same time as she was progressing in her career Corinna was also experiencing debilitating anxiety and a lack of confidence that led her to explore many different avenues of healing and therapy to help solve her problem.

In the end what worked best and most effectively for Corinna was coaching and in this conversation she talked to me about how and why she found coaching to be so effective for her, her own journey towards becoming a coach, the routines and practices she engages in to help her be at her best as well as providing some fascinating insights into the industry she has come from and the artists she has worked with.

Jack is a man who wears many hats, he is a performance and resilience coach, community pharmacist, podcaster and board member of various organisations and charities, all while living with a life altering spinal cord injury that he sustained 10 years ago and which he has spoken about movingly in his Fearless Like a Child Ted Talk.

For this conversation I wanted to understand how someone living with the challenges he faces on a daily basis prepares, manages and sustains himself to be able to be at his best and play all the roles he plays as well as he does. 

For Jack this means placing an emphasis on his personal health, cultivating strong relationships in his life and finding and doing meaningful work and in this conversation you will hear him expand on these things as well as what he has learnt from trying to find what he call the magic in the messiness of life.

For me, this conversation was about picking the brain of someone who’s attitude and approach to business and life I greatly admire and I got to ask Allan about what motivates him to do what he does, what key challenges he sees the businesses he works with right now facing as well his thoughts on how technology will influence and impact our lives over the coming years.  

For Allan it’s all about “teaching people to fish” - giving them the tools to be able to eventually do for themselves what he has been brought in to help them with which typically revolves around making the interface between technology and people in organisations work in the right ways to help both the business and the people in it to thrive and grow.

I wanted to talk to Lisa Nicole, about what, if anything, has changed about how organizations approach strategy development based on her experience of working with businesses over the last 18 months? And what advice she has for any team or company seeking to devise and develop a strategy as we continue to work using remote and hybrid working arrangements

When it comes to developing strategy. Lisa Nicole suggests that organizations should always link this process back to their purpose and continuously check their activities against this big reason for existence.

As well as this, where possible, she recommends people in organizations getting back together in the same physical space to bring energy, enthusiasm and passion to the strategy development process, particularly if the experience of COVID 19 has forced organisations to rethink or reinvent what they do or how they do it.

Based on his extensive experience of coaching executive teams in organisations across the world I wanted to ask John for his thoughts on what he sees as being the key challenges facing executive teams right now and what advice he has for any leader or team looking to achieve and deliver on their goals and ambitions over the next 12 months 

As someone who works with and through the metaphor of Formula 1 racing you may be surprised to hear that for John the answer to higher levels of performance and results DOES NOT LIE IN pressing the collective accelerator down to work faster, harder and longer. Instead, he suggests that teams need to slow down at key moments to pause, reflect and engage in strategic conversations as well as keeping a close eye on the key metrics of performance potential, pressure, vitality and collaboration.

"If 'm living in line with my values there's a there's a fairly strong chance I have a sense of meaning in my life. And meaning isn't necessarily about what you're doing, it's about how you feel about what you're doing…”

“For me, wellbeing is a fully integrated approach to your mind, your body and your spirit”…

“I look at wellbeing under six pillars that I call PERMA which for me is a psychological way of measuring my wellbeing and encompassed in that is mind, body and spirit.”

“performance is about how you engage, and show up and ultimately perform in all the different areas of our lives”

“What does better look like in the area that you're looking at as improving and what's at stake if nothing changes?”
