Listening to TED talk with William Ury and he mentioned how we often do lots of talking and very little listening. We often say we are great listeners I know I say this but am far from it. A skill that I really want to work on! Bláthnaid Breslin #pdsl #leadership

Really enjoyed Kwame Chirstain Ted Talk on compassionate curosity - a real rethinker for me on how to address conflict. It can become our north star. Bláthnaid Breslin Patricia Mannix McNamara ✨ Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA #pdsl #leadership

Helping students to find their stenghths they often hide, is one aspect of the job I always feel grateful to be part of. It is not always academic, sometimes it is just self belief in themselves. Bláthnaid Breslin Patricia Mannix McNamara ✨ Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA #pdsl #leadership

Looking back on the coaching and mentoring module as part of #pdsl I feel as though I have gained insight into what is to be a good colleague and potential leader. By not engaging in the negative,actively listening and being true to my values will be my guide going forward

Leadership comes from the learning of our vulnerabilities Patricia Mannix McNamara ✨ Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA #pdsl #leadership
