September always feels like the start of the year to me. A year after beginning Think Visual again, I’m looking back at what grew: circles where women take their masks off, clients who found their way through a swamp and a boulder, and a board that found itself in a hawthorn tree. And a pomegranate, to wish you a sweet year.
I used to hand my money anxiety to someone else and call it delegation. It cost me a fortune before I learned what I actually needed: someone to sit with me until the fear passed, not to take the problem away. That's what this Lighthouse Lab was — a room of people making friends with money, one honest question at a time.
A year ago, I started a new chapter: coaching and Her Circle, a community for women in business in West Cork. Getting ready to celebrate that, I felt something I didn't expect: unease. Here's what I've learned this year about celebrating honestly, without pretending I've arrived anywhere, and why doing it together might just be an act of rebellion.
This morning I was listening to a podcast about a woman who left Hollywood, moved to Fiji, and ended up rethinking how investment works from the ground up. Hearing her made me hopeful - in a specific way. That's what a voice from outside your world can do. It changes the altitude from which you see your own situation. That's the seed of the Lighthouse Talks - and the first one is this Tuesday, 28 April, free and online.
If you had to imagine your organisation in a metaphoric way, what would you pick? An oiled machine, clicking and clocking? or a bee hive, ever changing, ever buzzing? What if the future of work looked more like a living system — one designed by women, for people — where growth isn’t forced, but allowed to unfold in its natural rhythm?
