Why we tell these stories…
Because nothing changes until we cease to view our neighbours as them and we as us. Take for example the aftermath of one hearing before the Orieachtas. Padraic Kissane – the gently determined, brave and caring Financial Advisor who encouraged four of his tracker mortgage clients to step forward and testify before the Finance Committee. […]
Dear Daddy…
I miss you. And Happy Father’s Day. I miss your sense of humour, your wisdom and the very un-Irish, Talmudic way you drove home your messages, with questions.

Nothing changes until we do!
In a recent LinkedIn article, Ready for a Change? – I made the case for choosing change. On one level it’s selfish – I work with people and small businesses when they’re ready for a change.

A Collage, A Vision Board & Action…
“It works if you work it” Simple tried and true – it’s an adage heard often in 12 Step fellowships. So what is a “Vision Board”? It’s a tool for creating authentic outcomes in our own, ideal life.
