This year, we were delighted to have Ciaran as our guest speaker for the day. Ciaran spoke for over an hour about techniques available to develop yourself in business and in life. The session itself was tremendous, but Ciaran's knowledge really shone through in the question and answer section after. Each answer was bespoke for the individual person, and told the story of someone who wasn't there to tick boxes, but instead wanted to genuinely make a difference.

Ciaran’s focus on using the outdoors and nature as a tool for overcoming mental health challenges offers an accessible way for us all to tap back into our natural instincts and unplug from the business of everyday life. His incorporation of breathwork, positive mindset and visualisation also act as great tools which can be used beyond sea swimming to overcome stress, tension and anxiety.
