Networking can be a daunting experience and we at Network Dublin make sure that each and every person is welcomed by a member of the committee and introduced to our amazing group of women. We have a very eclectic group of women that hail from
many backgrounds, from those starting off in business, partnerships, entrepreneurs and corporate who all share a willingness and a generosity in supporting each other and making each Networking event a pleasure. We meet every month from
6.30pm to 8.30pm starting with food and drink allowing people to relax and network. The venue varies each month and this adds to the excitement of these events. There are always interesting and inspiring speakers with plenty of opportunity
to connect with other members before and after our guest speaker. Network Dublin has an amazing hardworking committee who are all volunteers and feel passionately about their Network and work to make sure that as a group we support each
other and that everyone comes away feeling uplifted inspired and energised. Contact us today at dublin@networkireland.ie.

My why is to empower people to become aware and understand their habits that lead to patterns of behaviour for accumulating stuff (clutter). I work with clients using my bespoke framework (leveraged
off design thinking methodology) to streamline their belongings resulting in greater overall wellbeing, financial wellbeing and environmental benefits. The realm of clutter is vast and inclsudes
areas such as physical, mental, digital and financial clutter. My career background is 27 years in banking. My roles primarily involved managing the treasury (foreign exchange and interest rate
headging) requirements for a portfolio of large Coporate clients and in latter years I migrated to a conduct and regulatory role in order to ensure safe regulatory delivery of service to our
clients. In 2024 I merged my 2 immense passions (1) paring back my belongings to achieve greater simplicity leaving more time and money to enjoy life experiences and (2) my love of Design Thinking
which I developed through completion of the Postgraduate Diploma in Innovation, Creativity and Ledership with the Innovation Academy in UCD. In September, I took the giant leap of leaving BOI
to set up my own business. I deliver keynote talks to companies and businesses (Wellbeing, financial wellbeing or other speaker engagements e.g. key life transitions e.g. moving house). I also
work with individuals on a 1:1 basis to help them tackle the deep rooted problem of clutter and work with them to pare back and organise their belongings. I also organise workshops for groups
of individuals to work through my framework. I am delighted to take on the role of Treasurer with the Network Ireland Dublin branch and look forward to using my organisational, banking and network
skills to support this network.
Having lived many adventures and worked across several countries and continents, I founded Living Legacy (www.livinglegacy.ie) as a way to help people build and live their legacy and gain peace of
mind by putting their advance plans in place - through succession planning for business, and end of life planning for individuals and families. Bringing my HR and business background, combined
with accreditation in coaching and end of life planning, and an academic background in social research, my mission is to help people to not only honour their life lived to date but to consider
their legacy yet to create. I enjoy helping people share their life stories through radio and am eager to connect with communities to help inform better systems and guidance for future generations.
As a former Women in Business Network Manager for several County and City Enterprise Boards (now Local Enterprise Offices) from 2004-2007, I am delighted to now be one of the two Membership Officers
for the ever growing Network Ireland Dublin branch, and to connect more women to the importance of this community as a way to develop their business in this supportive environment.
It is a pleasure for me to serve as Membership Officer for a second year. This time I will do it with more knowledge and a renewed desire to make members feel welcome and to help them make the most
of what our network has to offer. I have been a translator and a Spanish language trainer for over 30 years. In both capacities, I help professionals to take down the linguistic barriers that
separate them from their goals, either by producing their materials in Spanish or by helping them acquire the skills to do it themselves.
