Your bank balance isn't always the money you have available to spend.

In this clip, Jennifer Power explains why staying on top of tax in real time can make a significant difference to an SME's cash flow.

It can be easy to look at your bank balance and assume that money is available to the business.

But some of that money may already be owed to Revenue.

Keeping tax payments up to date helps businesses avoid building up unexpected liabilities and makes it easier to understand their true cash position.

For SME owners, staying compliant isn't just about ticking a box. It's an important part of managing cash flow effectively.

Kelly 2026, a great networking opportunity

08/10/2026

Throwback to the Network Ireland National Conference and Businesswoman of the Year Awards in Galway on 18 September - a fantastic day of connection, energy, and real conversations for women in business across the island of Ireland.

One of the standout features of the conference was the series of lightning talks: short, impactful sessions that landed their message fast.

Louisa was one of these guest speakers, and her talk was a powerful reminder that being nice isn’t always being kind. Sometimes kindness looks like clarity, sometimes it looks like boundaries, sometimes it looks like having the honest conversation that helps someone grow - even when it feels uncomfortable.

Louisa has long been involved in Network Ireland, including serving as Wicklow Branch President and later as Network Ireland National President in 2020.

If you were there in Galway, what was your biggest takeaway from the day?

On Friday, Louisa joined Dr Ciara Kelly on Newstalk’s The Hard Shoulder to talk about a question that comes up again and again in workplaces:

👉 do targets end up taking priority over employees’ wellbeing - and what does that do to culture over time?

You can listen back here: https://www.newstalk.com/podcasts/highlights-from-the-hard-shoulder/do-workplaces-targets-take-priority-over-employees-wellbeing

One point Louisa mentioned in the conversation was something Amy Burke has said (Louisa and Amy both worked in HR in Bank of Ireland together): culture is more important than policy. You can have the best policies in the world, but if the day-to-day behaviours don’t match them, people notice, and trust erodes quickly.

Amy is now Chief People and Sustainability Officer at Vhi, and their recent research found that half of employees say workplace targets take priority over wellbeing (read more here https://businessplus.ie/news/employees-workplace-targets-wellbeing)

If you’re trying to balance performance expectations with wellbeing in a practical, realistic way - and you want to sense-check what’s happening in your workplace culture - we're very happy to have a conversation!

Domestic abuse doesn't have a "type".

It affects people from every profession, every background and every stage of life.

In this episode of the Human Side of Business podcast, Hayley Murphy (Outreach Co-ordinator with ANU Wicklow Domestic Violence Supports and Bray Women’s Refuge) challenges the stereotypes that often stop people from recognising abuse or asking for help.

The more we understand, the better equipped we are to support those around us.

Doing the right thing isn't always the easiest choice, but it's almost always the most impactful.

In this clip, Lorraine Bowen shares why great leadership is about looking beyond short-term decisions and considering the lasting impact they have on people, organisations and communities.

She also explains how staying curious - about people, learning and new opportunities - can help us create meaningful change and open doors we never expected.

Whether you're leading a business, supporting employees through change or building your own career, doing the right thing is one of the most powerful investments you can make.

"The human in the room is the most important person in any conversation."
-Karen Ronan

Technology is changing the way we work, but it doesn't change the importance of people.

Karen Ronan explains why AI and other tools should support us rather than replace the human connection at the heart of business.

The people in your organisation understand your customers, your culture and your community in ways technology can't replicate.

The tools may change, but the human side of business will always matter.
