‘Put your best foot forward for New Year and achieve your goals’
Network Ireland West Cork is kicking off 2023 with an event that will inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and provide tools and tips to face new challenges.
Taking place on Thursday 19th January at 7.30 at the Ludgate Hub in Skibbereen, the event features two key speakers who will talk us through how they have overcome their own challenges. Caroline O’Driscoll is best known as one of the co-founders of IWish, the social enterprise that encourages teenage girls to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM), and to date over 50,000 girls have participated in its programmes. Caroline is a partner with Deloitte Ireland.
The second speaker is Anne Marie Graham, best-selling author, as well as an experienced speaker and trainer. She is CEO of Mindset Success Strategies, helping individuals, groups and companies reach their potential and achieve their personal and professional goals.
Speaking ahead of the event, Network Ireland West Cork branch President Anne Marie Kingston stated ‘I am very excited to start my term as President of the West Cork branch with such a high calibre event. Our speakers have years of experience that they will share on the night which will support our members in stepping out of their comfort zones and achieving their goals. I am delighted that we are returning to in-person events and my theme for this year is to get people ‘back in the room’. We have lost so many opportunities over the past two years and I want to support our members this year by hosting a series of monthly in-person events that will help fill that gap.’
The event is open to both members and non-members of Network Ireland and tickets can be booked on Eventbrite.
