This week we talk with Mark McDonnell who was most recently CEO of Soar.ie for the past 5 years and has been in leadership roles in Soar.ie for the past 10 years.

We discuss the workshops they do in schools with teenagers. We chat about understanding Gen Z and leading them effectively as the newest additions to the workforce.

Ian sat on the board of Soar for a few years and knows the work they do well. This was a fascinating conversation. Mark speak eloquently on the issues of young people today. Dad shines in his facilitation style and asks great questions. The dynamic between the three of us works nicely and there’s lots to take away from this conversation.

On this episode I chat with David Walsh, the CEO of Limelight, a B2B marketing company, connecting business influencers with brands.

I was fascinated to hear about David’s journey into sales. He tells an amazing story about getting funded with his startup idea in an internal incubator at Indeed, presenting to the C-suite of a then 10,000 person company, only to be let go for visa reasons on the same day.

I was audibly flabbergasted by his mental strength to get past that and use it as an opportunity to found his company and love to the next stage of his career.

He’s got a fascinating journey with lots of experience at his young age, so we decided to split this episode into two parts. We hope you enjoy!

I really enjoyed this conversation. It feels like we’re finding our groove and getting more comfortable in front of the microphone and the camera. It’s a wide-ranging conversation where we cover perception and one of Dad’s favourite sayings: “Monday doesn’t know it’s monday”. We cover the stories we carry about ourselves and the work we do with Indreni.org. We touch on the work we do with our clients, what’s coming up for us in our work and our life, and what we’re learning. We hope you enjoy!

On this week's episode, I sit down with David Duggan from Below The Line, who provide executive coaching and leadership development for teams, individuals and organisations. Rather than an interview, this is more of a two-way conversation which was really enjoyable to record and there's lots of interesting nuggets throughout. It was a wide-ranging conversation about facilitating team workshops, selling our services, and the impact we've seen on organisations and individuals. We also chat about this work and what has drawn us to it, what lights us up about the work we do and how we're always learning. As always, we hope you enjoy and get something out of it for your work and/or life.
