Pat Divilly who will speak at the first 2020 branch meeting for Network Cork next week.

Divilly first up for Network Cork

With New Year's resolutions the talk of the month, the first speaker of 2020 for the Network Ireland Cork branch is certainly timely. Fitness expert, wellness advocate and author, Pat Divilly will speak next week at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa in Little Island.

His talk on Finding Flow in Work and Life will focus on the promotion of resilience, confidence and clarity for work and life.

Speaking ahead of the event, Pat said: “We live in an incredibly hectic world, which can often get you nowhere fast and be counterproductive to your health and well-being. As we start a new decade, it is so important to take stock of where you are in life, and where you want to go, so you can move confidently in the direction of the goals that are most important to you. I have worked with clients in the fitness industry for almost ten years now, and see the importance of positive inner-self talks.

“I’m delighted to speak at the Network Ireland Cork branch’s first 2020 event to share my own stories and life lessons on managing stress and energy whilst encouraging resilience and self-assurance in your work and personal life. This will hopefully support those attending on their own individual journeys.”

Pat's talk on Wednesday 15 January is the first of a year-long programme of events for the Network Ireland Cork branch under its new president, Marguerite O'Sullivan. The Senior Innovation Engineering Manager in DePuy Synthes Johnson & Johnson was last month appointed in the one-year voluntary role.

The next event is a talk from Joanne Hession, co-founder of LIFT (Leading Ireland's Future Together) and founder and Managing Director of The Entrepreneurs Academy and QED Accreditation Advisors on 5 February in Clayton Hotel Cork City.

Marguerite explained the unifying theme across all events over the upcoming 12 months will be to empower women in business and their professions to lead now. “Network Ireland Cork is an amazing branch with amazing members. As President in 2020, I want to equip and enable each and every woman in the Network to aspire to be the very best at what they do through our monthly events, our support resources such as our mentoring programme, and of course our network,” she said.

Taking place on 15 January at 6pm, tickets are available at networkcorkpatdivilly.eventbrite.ie. and is free for members and €25 for non-members.
