I Didn't Read About It - I Lived It.
Máirtín óg - BUSINESS ADVISOR/STRATEGIC COACH

Business and life have given me incredible moments - big wins, achievements and reasons to celebrate. But they have also thrown me into some of the darkest trenches imaginable. I have faced adversity, colossal losses, family breakdowns and personal struggles that no Google search or AI tool could ever prepare me for.
I was once at rock bottom, staring into the abyss, fighting to pull myself back.
Writing about those times, even now, still stirs something deep within me. The pain never truly fades, you just learn to carry it differently.
Recently, I sat with a friend who had just buried his teenage son. In those hours of conversation, we talked about pain, sorrow and the void that loss leaves behind. He didn’t cry - but I did.
Because I understood. Because I have been there. The triggers - the birthdays, the songs, the photographs, the thoughts, they never stop, but we learn how to live with them.
This is not just experience, it’s lived reality. And that is why I make a difference to those I work with. In a coaching engagement or a speaking environment. I do not offer theory or scientific based facts or results. I offer perspective forged in the fire of real challenges.
The kind of wisdom you can't be thought - only learned by going through it and coming out the other side.
The lessons I have learned - about resilience, reinvention and pushing forward, are what give me an edge. And if you’re looking for that kind of insight, the kind that comes from someone who’s been in the trenches and emerged stronger, I’d love to have that conversation with you.
Let’s talk.
