RoRemote

Why such a passion for Remote Work and worker wellbeing? In 2015 my daughter developed severe childhood asthma, so bad that we moved from Dublin, Ireland, to Zaragoza, Spain, to improve her health and also enhance our overall lifestyle as a family. Remote Work enabled that move. Hence my passion for its socioeconomic influence, the power of global mobility and the flexibility it offers. However, I advocate for the need to embrace and use that flexibility wisely with a focus on individual worker wellbeing and work-life-integration:
“Remote work has enabled me to live in many countries, travel extensively and find work-life balance. I relish in being an advocate and a leader on the education and skills needed for effective remote work practices ”

I take great pride in my projects, workshops and speaking engagements that I deliver, but also in the way I deliver them - the feedback I receive, the trust I build with clients, and the skills enhancement. 

I also look to constantly improve, having recently up-skilled in Mental Health awareness, advocacy and competencies. I have completed 3 Mental Health training courses during 2020-2021; MHFA, i-act for Managers and See Change for Managers. I recently completed a workshop on Unconscious Bias & Inclusive Work Environment.

Remote Work enabled that move. Hence my passion for its socioeconomic influence, the power of global mobility and the flexibility it offers.
