What I work on
-
Wellbeing strategy
What makes a wellbeing strategy hold up: evidence, an organisation's own data, and a clear view of what the thing is actually for.
-
Stress & resilience
How teams manage pressure, where burnout really comes from, and what helps people stay well when the load is high.
-
Men's health
The conversations men avoid at work, the reasons they avoid them, and what makes a room safe enough to have them.
-
Speaking
I speak at conferences and events across Ireland on wellbeing, stress and men's health at work.
-
Sleep & recovery
Why recovery is the most underrated part of performance, and what sleep habits look like when they fit around real working lives.
-
Mental health
What it takes for mental health to be spoken about openly at work: awareness, early support, and managers who know what to do.
Wellbeing at work
Wellbeing done well isn't fruit bowls and step challenges. It's a culture where people do their best work and thrive.
