  • 'When Colm Met Frankie' - a Pendulum Summit 10th Anniversary Special 'Coffee with Colm'

    I

    had the most amazing experience during the week! I had a virtual coffee with Frankie
    Sheahan, former Munster and Ireland Rugby Legend, laterally known around the
    world for, along with his wife and business partner, Norma, co-founding The Pendulum
    Summit – The World's No.1 Leadership & Self-Empowerment Summit, held
    annually in Dublin, since 2014. What a pleasure.

     

    The

    reason I wanted to have the chat was because of how instrumental The Pendulum
    Summit has been in my journey, both personally and professionally, having
    attended in-person from 2015 through to when COVID derailed our world. I am so
    excited to be heading back to Dublin on January 10th and 11th
    2024 for its 10th Anniversary… and it promises to be a cracker!

  • What Happens When Your Parachute Fails? Mine Did. Here's What I Learned - a Coffee with Colm Classic

    Recently I had cause to revisit my 'Parachute Story', reflecting on what I learned when my parachute failed as I plummeted to earth at terminal velocity (no kidding!) which is c200kmh, having exited a perfectly good aircraft two miles above the earth by choice!


    Apart from the tongue in cheek insight that skydiving as a sport is a missed sponsorship opportunity for one of the nappy brands, I gained some valuable life lessons which I will take with me to the grave (and nearly did!)To find out what I learned, stick on the kettle, grab a coffee, take a seat, feet firmly panted on the ground, and think with me for 8 or 9 minutes in your preferred way…

    What Are Your 100 Year Goals? - a Coffee with Colm Classic Revisited


    "But I won't be here in 100 years, Colm." I hear you complain.

    Exactly. You won't be here. Are you going to leave the world a little bit better off for your having taken up space here, or are you going to be 100% selfish and not give a damn?

    Good news and bad news.

    The good news is you get to decide whether you are goin to contribute or not to a better 22nd century.

    The bad news is if you don't proactively choose the first option, by default you will have chosen the latter.

    As always, I invite you to stick on the kettle, grab a coffee, and think with me for 10 minutes in your preferred way… (10 minutes out of 100 years, now that's not too much to ask, is it?)

    Your move...

  • 81 Patchwork Quilts in Honour of my Mother who passed Peacefully on Feb 20th 2023 at Age 84. RIP Mam - a "Coffee with Colm" Classic (like my Mam)

    81 Patchwork Quilts in Honour of my Mother who passed Peacefully on Feb 20th 2023 at Age 84. RIP Mam - a "Coffee with Colm" Classic (like my Mam)

    Doreen O'Brien (nee Stenson) was a beautiful woman in every sense. Being named Irish Press Bride of the Month in June1961 (her work colleagues in Brown Thomas on Grafton St nominated her - fist she heard about it was when the Press called her to say she'd won!) was only the beginning.

    She married my dad, Tommy, and together they raised 5 of us.

    One of my sisters said she grew up believing that Mams' never got cold, hungry or tired, because if any of us was cold, we'd get Mam's coat wrapped around us, if we were hungry, she'd share what was on her plate, and if we were tired, she's sit with us so we could sleep.

    She was completely happy in herself; Mam said to Aideen, my wife, that she never met anyone on life that she would want to be. There aren't many of us who can make that claim in today's InstaWorld, I fear.

    In her honour, I'm reposting my 81 Patchwork Quilts vlog this week and so I invite you to stick on the kettle, grab a coffee, and think with me for 6 or 7 minutes in your preferred way…
