The Chapter Coach

Today was all about delegation. 👏

I had the pleasure of delivering Delegation Skills training on behalf of Optimum Limited to eight participants from the Queally Group, and what a fantastic day it turned out to be.

We didn’t spend the day talking about delegation in theory alone. We brought it to life through real workplace examples, practical discussions, group activities, paired exercises, and honest conversations about what gets in the way of effective delegation.

There was plenty of participation, lots of learning, a few moments outside the comfort zone, and more than a few laughs along the way. 😊

My favourite part of the day was asking each participant to leave with three commitments:

🔹 One thing they will stop doing
🔹 One thing they will start doing
🔹 One thing they will continue doing

Simple actions. Real accountability. Immediate impact.

A huge well done to everyone involved. Your openness, willingness to share experiences, and commitment to developing your leadership skills made the session what it was.

Learning is important. Applying it back in the workplace is where the real value lies.

And yes, they even let me take a few photos to prove they were there! 📸😄

Thank you to the team at Queally Group for the warm welcome and engagement throughout the day.

We often post about the big wins.

The new client.
The promotion.
The marathon medal.
The book launch.
The breakthrough moment.

Today wasn't one of those days.

Today was a dishwasher, dog walks, coaching calls, coffee with my husband, a Tesco list, a training session in Mayo, some work on my book, and a reminder that a good day doesn't need to be a dramatic day. ☕🐾

As a business owner, coach, and someone living with Long COVID, I've learned to appreciate the days where energy feels steady, work feels meaningful, and life feels balanced.

I wrote this reflection after what was, by all accounts, an ordinary Thursday.

The funny thing is, the older I get, the more I realise that ordinary days are often the best days.

I'd love to know what made your day a good one. 😊

Last night I got home to Wexford after a day of work and travel in Dublin. I was tired.

🍳 Scrambled eggs, a good cuppa tea, and a quiet moment before the day gets going.

No life lessons. No productivity hacks. No profound insights.

Just breakfast doing what breakfast does. 😄

A quick stop at Kilcannon Garden Centre, Enniscorthy, to fuel up before tackling whatever today’s to-do list decides to throw at me.

Supporting local, enjoying the simple things, and trying not to get scrambled myself. 😂

Right, that’s enough sitting around. Time to seize the day… or at least strongly negotiate with it. ☕🍳🌞

“Motivation can drop and that’s when discipline kicks in.” “Winning the moment and winning the day.” Great words from TJ Reid

Out pounding the pavements again 🏃‍♂️ as I train for the Dublin Marathon 2025 – apparently you can’t just rock up on the day and hope for the best 😅

To take part, I need to raise a minimum of €450 by 17th August 🎯 and my bigger goal is to hit €2025 💶 for a cause that means a lot to me ❤️

I know things can be tight (life isn’t exactly handing out free coffees ☕️ these days) but if you can donate anything at all, I’d be genuinely grateful. Every little helps 🙏

Thanks a million – and wish my legs luck 😄💪

Proud friend moment 💫🌟

At the weekend I managed to pop in and see someone I adore! Watching my incredible friend Jes bring her vision to life has been nothing short of magic ✨

She’s creating a community space that’s full of heart, intention, and connection the kind of place the world truly needs right now 💛

Everything she touches turns to gold 💫 Not because it’s perfect, but because it’s powered by passion, courage, and purpose. So proud of you, my friend and your light is contagious and your impact is real 🔥🌻🌈

Here’s to building, dreaming, and creating spaces where everyone feels like they belong.

Let’s go! 🚀💥🙌

Delivering Dignity at Work with the Gleneagle Group 🏨

What a brilliant few sessions with the team at The Gleneagle Group full of energy, insight, and real-life stories that brought the topic of Dignity and Respect at Work to life!

We explored how small daily interactions make a big impact, refreshed our understanding of the legislation, and had some powerful (and often hilarious!) human moments that grounded the learning in real experience.

It was a joy to see such openness, curiosity, and commitment to doing the right thing, not just ticking boxes, but truly embedding a culture of respect.

You’re already doing a great job, and these sessions were about turning the dial up even further.

Big thanks to all the participants who brought the colour and context, and of course to for making it all happen.

Here’s to keeping dignity and respect at the heart of how we work every day.
