This year has been a really special for us. Early in 2018, we took some time and thought long and hard about who we are and what we do! Stripping it back, we came to the conclusion that what our business strives to do is educate and innovate ourselves, and everyone we work with.
Thus our new vibrant momentum educate + innovate rebrand came to be and our amazing little company that is now 15 years old was reborn.
Changing how we look, we also wanted to change how we work and so the idea of a momentum mastermind series came to fruition as a way for us to share, connect, educate and innovate together.
Our first [mastermind event – innovation and wellbeing]
For our first momentum mastermind event, we were delighted to welcome three amazing people we have admired and been inspired by – Paula and Peter Hynes, Zurich Farmers of the year 2017, Hardest Harvest TV stars and #TackleyourFeelings ambassadors and Margaret Hoctor an exceptional lady – entrepreneur, business and life coach and speaker. We were also delighted to welcome a large attendance of business owners and those who support them (Local Enterprise Offices, LEADER companies, enterprise centres, training providers and AIB).
