WiseTime has grown as an approach to personal and professional development over a long and varied career, spanning two continents and five countries; meeting wise people along the way, and following ‘the strains of the piper’ or Ariadne’s thread at each of the crossroads. It was a seed in the thirst for new horizons that took me away from the comfort of the familiar to develop a musical career in Holland, as a 20 year old, with neither Dutch nor money. It developed in the isolation of a year spent in continuing studies in Stockholm, with few contacts and much responsibility; it came to life in the camaraderie of friends on returning to Cork to take up a career in teaching with a postgraduate diploma from UCC, and it grew over many years in the cut and thrust of secondary school life. It blossomed in the rich life of a boarding schools – in the UK, in particular at Stonyhurst College, where from 1997 – 2010 pastoral responsibility for up to eighty girls aged 16 to 18 demanded considerable reserves of psychology and diplomacy to ensure that these young adults, and all who cared for them, co-operated in a thriving environment. Spearheading the establishment of co-education in a 400 year old, all-male environment, was indeed a challenge, for which previous positions in both boys and girls'​ schools prepared me well.A FETAC and PSG diploma in Life-Coaching in 2011, helped bring many of the threads of experience together, and the past four years were spent working with adults, developing my own rationale and methodology, and establishing WiseTime. The dividing line between a person's personal, professional and business life is often an arbitrary one: when there is harmony in the spirit everything flows.
