I’m writing this post on board a flight to Geneva, Switzerland, after a crazy productive few days in one of my favourite cities: London. Having lived in London up until the end of February, it’s my second home, and although I felt it wasn’t right for me to continue to have it as my base at this time, I love spending time there when I can. 

It was a long few days, with most of my time spent inside an executive board room with LEGEND, a fantastic Swiss-based consulting and advispry firm, for which we have been brainstorming and developing new processes and strategies for. I love working with mission driven, forward-thinking companies and LEGEND embodies that. I definitely recommend following them as they have some super exciting things in the works!

I get to work with some truly incredible minds and it always gives me so much energy. Yesterday we spent over 12 hours going through new ideas, implementation plans and actioning everything. 

I am so grateful to be able to travel with my business, however, it’s really not as glamorous as it can seem. The reality of entrepreneurship is that you have to put in the hours to reap any reward, and it’s taken me 8 years to get to this point (and I still feel like I have a long way to go).

I wouldn’t change it for the world because I love the process of business and the possibilities, but it’s important to remember the reality of things too as social media generally always highlights the highs and leaves out the lows. I hope I can share more of the day to day with you as a result 🙂

Now, I’m looking forward to visiting the beautiful city of Geneva for another exciting couple of days with the LEGEND team.

Until next time,

Back in Dublin for a few days at the office, and between calls with clients in the USA, Israel and UK yesterday, I had a fun photo shoot with Kasia from Photo Studio Balbriggan. One thing I’ve learned is that, particularly in business, it’s incredibly important that you show up how you’d like to be perceived. Your presentation, both in person and online, can create massive opportunity for you and open so many doors, when it’s congruent with the way in which you speak about and the quality of your delivery in what you do (whatever your product or service may be).

For me, as a speaker, trainer and entrepreneur, it’s important to lead with your best foot forward, and consistently reviewing my presentation in terms of imagery, websites & promotional materials (online and offline), has helped to land speaking engagements, bigger clients and more networking opportunities. Sometimes the smallest tweaks can make a huge difference!

Of course, we all have our days when it’s nice to throw on yoga pants and a jumper to snuggle up and watch Game of Thrones (cannot believe it’s almost finished!!), but when in a business environment and through your social media, one thing I’ve learned is that you should always ask yourself whether or not the message you are sharing is in line with your values and what you’d like to achieve through your business.

I’m super excited to see the final shots and can’t wait to share them with you 🙂

Wishing you a wonderful weekend,

Hannah Kathleen xo
