Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do:

I’m originally from Co. Cavan and I recently moved to West Clare. I’ve been a proud Tara member since day one and work from there twice per month. My work covers the areas of leadership, community empowerment, and wellbeing. I work mostly with charities, companies and individuals who are passionate about making a positive difference in the world. This includes coaching, mentoring, consultancy, campaigning, writing, speaking and hosting my Love and Courage podcast. I founded the SpunOut.ie youth organisation back in 2005 and was CEO there until late 2011. I was also part of the founding team behind Uplift, among other organisations, initiatives and campaigns. In 2012 I was appointed for a 7 year term to the Council of State by President Michael D Higgins.

What is your favourite fail?:

Once upon of time I used to say ‘part of the course’ regularly until someone pointed out that the phrase is actually ‘par for the course’.

We're dlighted to be hosting a workshop with artis We're dlighted to be hosting a workshop with artist Glenn Gibson and @wearekrayon on the 4th of December. During the workshop, you will see a complete demonstration by artist Glenn Gibson on how to create a tree sculpture from wire. 🌴 Attendees will receive step-by-step instructions on how to create your own tree. Demonstrating the methods and techniques he uses in his own work, Glenn will also talk about his experience with art and positive mental health. The creative process helps clear the mind focusing it on the present moment. The form of the tree was chosen because it uses simple techniques repeated multiple times, there is a meditative aspect to this. At the end of the workshop, each participant will have created their own sculpture! You can buy a ticket to the event at http://www.glenngibsonsculpture.com
