RELATIONSHIPS ARE
YOUR REAL STRATEGY
Are you consciously building relationships — or just collecting conTACTS?
In a world driven by visibility, speed, and efficiency, relational intelligence invites something deeper: presence over performance, connection over contacts, and the courage to lead - both self and others - with intention.
Me as A...
space holder
Because relationships grow in the space we hold.
learning designer
Because designing learning is designing relationships.
TEDx curator
Because curating is about relating to possibility.
global educator
Because relationships are where real learning begins.
executive trainer
Because how we relate is
how we lead.
speaker + host
Because connection begins with how we relate.
My MISSION
Helping leaders, teams and organizations to
Rel8 (connect consciously and authentically)
Integr8 (embed inclusion in our cultures and systems)
+ Elev8 (create unexpected, systematic impact).
MY INSPIRATION
MY ‘QUIET FORCES’
– because not all power is loud!
Loving liminality — that powerful in-between ( )
Holding space — for others and for ideas
Shifting perspectives — like lenses
Staying curious — and bringing energy
Serial-enthusiast— silent gift (or also my silent killer)
Growing that gives back — regeneration is relational
And, of course — being Irish
Which mostly means loving a good laugh.
“Laugh” is literally in my birth name — Mc Laughlin.
