We are excited to announce that Common Purpose Ireland Senior Leaders Programme has begun!

We had our first session take place at The Guinness Enterprise Centre. Our programme journey started with a focus on 'Personal Agility' where the group explored leadership and 'Embracing Differences'. It was a delight to come together with participants from Ireland and Northern Ireland.

What better way to wrap up our Leadership Programme with the EPA Ireland Ireland than in the beautiful and inspiring Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation. We had a wonderful day with this EPA senior team exploring the theme of ‘Transforming Systems’ in leadership. Many thanks to the team in Glencree for hosting us, our programme partners Peak Connexxions, and the EPA for their commitment to leadership development.

It's International Women’s Day!
We've chosen to fundraise for Women's Aid. All funds raised here will go directly to this great cause for gender equality.

We hope that you can help us by donating whatever you can. To donate or learn more about this cause, click on the link.

Believe Deeply. Perform Relentlessly. Achieve Ultimately.

We were delighted to explore these words in action last week at the
Sport Ireland Institute, where we brought the University Executive Team of Technological University Dublin to explore ‘Leading Self through Wellbeing, Resilience and Agility’. Thank you to the Sport Ireland team including Audrey Donovan and Liam Harbison for hosting us, our speakers Sarah Keane, Una May and Paul McDermott and the TU Dublin / OT Bhaile Átha Cliath team for your engagement.

On Tuesday, we had the honour of listening to Toluwani Akaehomen, Chairperson, Africa Centre Ireland, and Ahmed Hasain, CEO, Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland, as they opened a conversation regarding the role of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) in today's Ireland. As they drew on their respective experiences, they highlighted the importance of tolerance and understanding within communities and organisations.

Thank you to Toluwani, Ahmed, and everyone who joined us and participated in the dialogue for our Leadership Lunch Talk.

We've a few spaces left for our 'Leadership Lunch Talk' tomorrow (Free of Charge) in the The Guinness Enterprise Centre, exploring the role of 'Cultural Intelligence' in leadership with Ahmed Hasain, Toluwani Akaehomen MBA (Distinction) MCIPD MinstLM and Kristina Moody. Email if you're interested to join the conversation.

We are delighted to be working with EPA Ireland (Environmental Protection Agency Ireland) on a customised leadership programme, in association with Peak Connexxion Training Ltd.

Using the Common PurposeCommon Purpose ‘Immersion’ model, we brought the team to explore leadership ‘on the ground’ in two unique contexts - Camphill Kyle, part of Camphill Communities of Ireland, and Coolmine Therapeutic Community. Participants learned from the real-life challenges and successes of leaders in these environments and examined their own leadership from different vantage points.

Camphill forms part of an international movement working with people with intellectual disabilities and other kinds of special needs.

Coolmine is a drug and alcohol treatment centre providing community, day and residential services to men and women with problematic substance use and their families in Ireland.

Thank you to the teams and speakers in Camphill Kyle and Coolmine for hosting us. Laura Burke, Sinead Foskin,
Kathy Rolle, Tom Kearns, Lisa Larkin, Pauline McKeown, Fallon Dunne, Anita Harris, Conor Kearney.
