Leadership Academy Breakfast Club!
Leadership Academy Breakfast Club!
In our next Leadership Academy Breakfast Club we will be discussing the topic of Leadership & Technology.
Remember a time when you had to fax a letter to sign?
When you had to put a stamp on an email?
When you had to wear shoes to the office?
Us neither...
As technology and remote work embed in our lives now, how are we leading virtually? We all suspect AI will take our jobs but what will happen to our leaders? And our leadership styles? How is/will leadership change in a technological environment?
Well we don’t know, but we found some people who do!

Testimonials from previous attendees
For me personally, the benefits of the Breakfast Clubs are many, key are the value of think-time, the cross sectional networking and having a product to offer staff looking to consider upskilling – in this regard promoting the breakfast club internally in Trócaire, in particular to my own team, is very relevant to the area of continuous leadership learning and development. - K. Casey, Head of Community Engagement & Outreach, Trócaire
The Breakfast Club created a networking space that feels open to all leaders, future and established, so that we can meet and make connections. Sharon encourages the early career professionals in the room to be the leads for discussion and she connects people with such ease who may have been too shy to make an introduction before. I have found The Leadership Academy events extremely interesting and engaging, having enjoyed the variety of topics covered at the sessions and the space to network freely. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of attending a Leadership Academy breakfast to attend and get involved. - A. Ennis, former Recruitment Coordinator at 2into3
The Leadership Academy is a wonderful initiative and space to foster leadership and personal growth for those of us working in the nonprofit sector. It is great to be able to not only share insights but also to learn and gain new insights from fellow participants at the events. I really enjoyed my involvement as a panellist on a Leadership Academy event, which was wonderfully organised by Sharon with great support from her colleagues in The Wheel. Would highly recommend getting involved and responding positively if asked to be a speaker, panellist or facilitator at one of the Academy events. Ní neart go chur le chéile – There is no strength without unity. - D. O’Corrbuí, CEO Carmichael
