Today's office had one of the best views in Belfast, but the real focus was what happened around the table.

I was delivering AKU Training's Navigating Challenging Conversations programme for a major IT client, exploring three types of conversations that shape workplace culture:

🔹 Crucial high-stakes conversations
🔹 Feedback conversations
🔹 Everyday workplace conversations

Drawing on the work of Sheila Heen, Dr Adam Grant and Dr Andrew Huberman, we were examining why difficult conversations often feel difficult, how feedback can become a tool for growth rather than threat and how curiosity, listening and psychological safety can help us communicate more effectively.

A day of practical discussion, reflection and skill-building.

A special full-circle moment today.

My final Bring 8 On workshop of the school year took place at Anahilt Primary School today, where I spent five years as Teaching Principal.

A joy to deliver the session in the very classroom where I once taught.

Over the past few months I've had the privilege of helping 100s of P7 pupils across Northern Ireland prepare for their move to post-primary school. To finish that journey back where part of my own educational journey was shaped felt particularly special.

Sometimes the best way to finish a journey is to return to where part of it began.

A quick stop beside one of Newry's greatest sporting icons before delivering today's Resilience and Wellbeing workshop for AKU Training.

Pat Jennings enjoyed a remarkable career at the very highest level of football, but what stands out isn't just the trophies or the appearances. It's the consistency, longevity and ability to keep performing year after year.

Resilience isn't about never facing setbacks. It's about adapting, learning, recovering and continuing to move forward when challenges come your way.

Looking forward to exploring some practical strategies for building resilience and protecting wellbeing with today's group. ⚽️

A pleasure to be invited to Dromore High School this evening as they welcome their new Year 8 pupils and families at their Induction event. September can feel like a big step, but it's also the start of an exciting new chapter.

I'm looking forward to delivering workshops to the 170 Y8 pupils (and the parents/carers) on the theme of 'Focus & Curiosity: Two Superpowers for Success' and exploring how these simple but powerful skills can help young people settle in, build friendships and make the most of every opportunity.

Looking forward to working with you all in September!

Samson and Goliath on the horizon. No prizes for guessing my location today. Delighted to be delivering coach training on behalf of AKU Training.
It's always a joy for me to bring this essential skill to senior leaders within non-educational settings.

The countdown is on... not just to the World Cup, but to a big step for hundreds of P7 pupils across Lisburn.

Delighted to kick off a series of my Bring 8 On P7 transition workshops as part of the Lisburn Schools' RAISE project. Together we'll be helping 100s of pupils prepare for the move to Year 8 by building confidence, resilience and a positive mindset for the journey ahead.

A new team, a new challenge, a new season, it's time to get match ready! ⚽
