An evening of sharing stories on how to balance ambition while living abroad in the Embassy of Ireland Great Britain with Irish Ambassador Martin Fraser and Chartered Accountant Ireland London Society, Digital Irish, London Irish Business Society, London Irish Lawyers Association and the Women’s Irish Network UK.

David Hardstaff of BCL Solicitors moderated a thoughtful conversation under the theme ’Without a Village’ How to survive, thrive and juggle it all, away from home. The panel spoke about how to navigate the balance of following ambitions in London and personal life when you don’t have the same support structures you may have at home.

Yvonne Maher Chief Growth Officer EMEA of Cognito & Chairperson of Women's Irish Network UK gave a brilliant analogy for balancing professional life while living away “if you have five pots on a stove top you don’t have them all boiling at once.” It’s possible to have it all just not at the same time.

Martina Redmond CFO of Terlos brought home the fact that you can build community and connect with people when living away by meeting and making time to attend events even when life feels more pressured “you can find the energy if you want to meet and be part of a community.”

While Kenneth O’Connor Co-Founder of ROA Talent made the point that fostering relationships is vital to career growth home and abroad “as time passes and people grow they gain the positions of influence in business.”

Thank you to Ambassador Fraser and his wife Deirdre as well as Aideen Cusack and the Team for welcoming us so warmly and for such kind hospitality.

Some issues for High Performing Senior Leaders are the same the world over. Listening to clients in London this week, while everyone has a multitude of differing needs and similar issues are very nuanced in each case, there are clear threads running through them.

One area of focus that continually comes up with Senior Leadership Teams is having an influential boardroom presence and instilling confidence in stakeholders. This is critical to their roles. I work with clients to ensure the ultimate aim of delivering so they are heard and bringing as many people as possible along with them is achieved. We do this by getting to the core of their key messages and simplifying them. Clear messaging and consistency wins every time 🙌

Once you are hitting your KPIs the key differentiator to your career progression is how visible you are in your role.

⭐️ Your Personal Brand & The Value it Holds
⭐️ Your Personal Brand Online - How to establish your Personal Brand and be authentically visible on LinkedIn
⭐️ Building your true In Person Personal Brand
⭐️ Being an Outstanding Team Member people want to work with
⭐️ Communicating Clearly to have an Impact in your Workplace
⭐️ Having productive Online Meetings
⭐️ Communicating with impact over Email / Slack
⭐️ Enhancing your Professional Presence through your Body Language
⭐️ Your Professional Style - how to show up for interviews & the professional environment
⭐️ Grooming for the Professional Environment

Thank you Lorna Moynihan for inviting me to present. It was energising to work with an ambitious group as they embark on their careers. I wish them every success as they move forward into the professional world.

✨Happy International Women’s Day✨
To every brilliant woman I know.
To the women who support, who teach, who give advice, who listen, who offer help, who uplift, who share, who are their true selves.
I don’t know how I would navigate life without you brilliant people. We are so lucky to have each other. Thank you.

The most apt piece of art I can think of today. Matriline 2 2016 by Irish Artist Mary A. Kelly. Matriline 2 is a celebration of female representation.
Kathleen Lynn, born in Mayo was a pioneering paediatrician who was active in the suffragette movement and a staunch Republican involved in the 1916 Easter Rising as Captain and Chief Medical Officer in James Connolly’s Irish Citizen Army.
Many of the 100 images she becomes through are of friends and family close to the artist. The drawings are representative portraits of women involved in the 1916 Rising.

The importance of being who you truly are in person and online 💫
Over the past months I have taken on work with a number of new London based clients. Yet again I see in action that your Personal Brand has the ability to travel before you do.

We connected through natural business relationships I have built up throughout the years. I first met all of my current London based clients online. Their initial impressions of me were what they heard of me through our mutual connections. Their next impressions were saw of me on my website and LinkedIn Profile before we met online and then in person. The importance of having an online personal brand which reflects your natural true self remains vital for building trust in business. Once they met me they could easily join the dots with how I communicate online. This is one of the most crucial parts of Personal Branding - what people encounter of you in person is aligned with what they encounter of you online.

I am always grateful for the trust clients place in me when we work together. Communicating the value they deliver clearly to key decision makers & stakeholders is always our ultimate goal.

LinkedIn: Quality over Quantity👌
Elevating your Personal Brand through quality connections

Lovely to hear Georgie Crawford mention guidance I give in my Personal Brand Masterclasses on her Soul Sisters Podcast co-presented with Claire Solan.
Tuning in as usual I got a great surprise while prepping for a four year old’s Birthday Party! 🎈🥳

To help you progress in your career and business I recommend getting and giving feedback from two people above you and two people working below you. Have 2/3 key questions ready for them and reciprocate with the very same. This will give you untold insights into your own performance, allow you to see if you are giving what others need from you in your role and build advocates for you in rooms are you are not in 🙌

It was a pleasure to have you MC and introduce me at the An Garda Síochána Women’s Network National Event .crawford

⭐️ Elevating your In Person Personal Brand to progress your career
⭐️ How to become more visible In Person
⭐️ Building your Elevator Pitch
⭐️ Networking Authentically
⭐️ Delivering in Interviews
⭐️ Enhancing your Personal Brand Online

Some of my key takeaways:
of
Let go of the reigns and allow people to do what they do best.
Building resilience in our business and personal lives comes through practice and growth.

Spoke about her burnt potato analogy. As women we would normally give ourselves the burnt potato and everyone else the well cooked one. How can we expect to function fully as ourselves if we are always eating the burnt potato?

Aoife Dunican of
Consider the Q System - When you have similar items in your wardrobe why would you choose no. 13 or 14? There is no value in holding on to so many of the same thing in your wardrobe.

When life is difficult combine movement therapy along with talk therapy to help you feel a little better every day.

Sharing knowledge and being open is how women become more comfortable and knowledgable about their bodies for their health and overall wellbeing. This is absolutely essential.

Companies realise how valuable you are when you show and tell them.
“If you are an employee you need to start thinking about how to make yourself valuable to a company that no longer needs bodies. They need stars.” Brooke Masters on her recent Financial Times Article ‘The Boss is Back’.

A refined Personal Brand which allows you to give clear messaging on the value you deliver both in person and online amplifies how valuable you are.

Post pandemic and talent shortage attitudes held by businesses have now shifted due to the decrease in jobs available. This article highlights the shift towards less amenable working environments now and into the future.
