On Friday, I shared a post with you about using the flexible working time ahead to self-reflect on your career. I suggested too that you could use the time to (further) explore the powerful tool that is mindfulness. And as promised, I will start sharing content tomorrow to assist you in reflecting on your career. […]
Two of my favourite ‘self-help’ books focus on the now. Now is the Time by Sister Stan and The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. The essence of both is that all we ever have is now, this present moment. And what we do with the here and now defines the quality of our existence. […]
I’m learning massive amounts. It would take a book (hmmm, there’s a thought) to share them all. In the interests of brevity, here are three of the biggest learnings from taking a chance on the Inspo journey: Belief and Courage are the Answer: Do you want to make a brave step in life or your […]
For one more night this evening I will experience the feeling of being in the presence of greatness. I finish up a meditation course with Sister Stan this evening. Sister Stan set up one of the leading organisations tackling homelessness in Ireland, Focus Ireland. She has also established a centre of mindfulness and meditation in […]
My brother-in-law put fellow Scot Gerry Cinnamon on my radar before Christmas. His one-man band music is so catchy (he should be on the Inspo 2020 soundtrack really).

You’re probably reading words and phrases like ‘new you’, ‘transformation’, ‘big change’ etc. with regularity. Today’s post is an attempt to inspire […]
I got to see Frozen II with my niece and Dad before Christmas. As well as being a great movie, it has a great song in it too, called Into the Unknown. We ourselves are heading into the unknown of a new year and new decade. I’d like to start this new year and new […]
2019, I am grateful to you for: Businesses seeing Inspo as a brand they want to work with; My bike, for getting me everywhere I need to go (which extended as far as Portlaoise this year); People being willing to trust me to deliver work for them in the ‘unknown’ space; Finding a (legitimate) way […]
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? Let the bells ring out for Christmas. And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day. As the festive season kicks in the bells are beginning to ring out. Bells are synonymous with this time of the year. So too are bells synonymous with track athletics. A bell is […]
